The measurements of laser induced emission (LIE) of a tungsten filament upon irradiation with the focused beam of a CW IR laser diode are reported. It was found that the emission occurred in visible and infrared range. The influence of the applied DC electric field significantly affected the intensity of LIE of the tungsten filament. The origin of LIE is discussed in terms of multiphoton ionization of tungsten W atoms assisted by light emission due to the intervalence charge transfer in the tungsten hybrid domain (W, W).

To date, various kinds of memristors have been proposed as artificial neurons and synapses for neuromorphic computing to overcome the so-called von Neumann bottleneck in conventional computing architectures. However, related working principles are mostly ascribed to randomly distributed conductive filaments or traps, which usually lead to high stochasticity and poor uniformity. In this work, a heterostructure with a two-dimensional WS monolayer and a ferroelectric PZT film were demonstrated for memristors and artificial synapses, triggered by in-plane ferroelectric polarization.

For the purpose of assessing image quality and calculating patient X-ray dosage in radiology, computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, mammography, and other fields, it is necessary to have prior knowledge of the X-ray energy spectrum. The main components of an X-ray tube are an electron filament, also known as the cathode, and an anode, which is often made of tungsten or rubidium and angled at a certain angle. At the point where the electrons generated by the cathode and the anode make contact, a spectrum of X-rays with energies spanning from zero to the maximum energy value of the released electrons is created.

Tungsten (W) is a rare element and present in the earth's crust mainly as iron, aluminium, and calcium minerals including wolframite and scheelite. This review aims to offer an overview on the current knowledge on W pollution in complex environmental settlings, including terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, linking to its natural and anthropogenic sources, behavior in soil and water, environmental and human health hazards, and remediation strategies. Tungsten is used in many alloys mainly as wafers, which have wide industrial applications, such as incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes, arc welding electrodes, radiation shielding, and industrial catalysts.

Article Synopsis
- Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are being explored as materials for advanced electronics due to their unique electrical and optical properties, but face challenges like strong Fermi-level pinning at contacts that fix their transistor polarity.
- A new source/drain contact structure using a quasi-zero-dimensional interface helps reduce Fermi-level pinning, allowing for control over the polarity of TMDC field-effect transistors (FETs).
- The study demonstrated that while traditional metal contacts resulted in n-type behavior, the quasi-0D contact achieved p-type characteristics, significantly improving Schottky barrier height, and offering potential for compatibility with miniaturized device structures.

Rationale: The analysis of the three sulfur stable isotope ratios (S/S, S/S, S/S) is routinely performed by gas-source isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) on the SF gaseous molecule, collecting SF ions at m/z ~ 127, 128, 129 and 131. High precision and accuracy are commonly achieved owing to a lack of correction because fluorine has only one isotope and the inert nature of the SF molecule. The analysis of the S/S ratio is, however, complicated by the low abundance of S (~0.
