We present the first theoretical recipe for the clear and individual separation of surface, bulk and Begrenzungs effect components in surface electron energy spectra. The procedure ends up with the spectral contributions originated from surface and bulk-Begrenzungs excitations by using a simple method for dealing with the mixed scatterings. As an example, the model is applied to the reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy spectrum of Si. The electron spectroscopy techniques can directly use the present calculation schema to identify the origin of the electron signals from a sample. Our model provides the possibility for the detailed and accurate quantitative analysis of REELS spectra.

A highly effective method for creating a supramolecular metallogel of Ni(II) ions (NiA-TA) has been developed in our work. This approach uses benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) in DMF solvent. Rheological studies assessed the mechanical properties of the Ni(II)-metallogel, revealing its angular frequency response and thixotropic behaviour.

This paper presented the preparation, characterization, and adsorption properties of Brazil nut shell activated carbon for catechol removal from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium adsorption of catechol molecules on this activated was experimentally quantified at pH 6 and temperatures ranging from 25 to 55 °C, and at 25 °C and pH ranging from 6 to 10. These results were utilized to elucidate the role of surface functionalities through statistical physics calculations.

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the intrinsic properties of RNiP (where R = Sm, Eu) filled skutterudite, employing the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within density functional theory (DFT) simulations using the WIEN2k framework. Structural, phonon stability, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, transport, thermal, and optical properties are thoroughly explored to provide a holistic understanding of these materials. Initially, the structural stability of SmNiP and EuNiP is rigorously evaluated through ground-state energy calculations obtained from structural optimizations, revealing a preference for a stable ferromagnetic phase over competing antiferromagnetic and non-magnetic phases.

Spin-polarized lasers have demonstrated many superiorities over conventional lasers in both performance and functionalities. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are emerging spintronic materials with great potential for advancing spin-polarized laser technology. However, the rapid carrier spin relaxation process in hybrid perovskites presents a major bottleneck for spin-polarized lasing.
