is an emerging material in recent years, and past studies have shown that it has good optoelectronic properties when doped with metals. In this paper, pure films and - films with different doping contents (1, 2, 3 W) were prepared by magnetron sputtering technology. The nonlinear optics properties of the sample films were investigated using femtosecond (fs) -scan technology under 800 nm. The results showed that both pure and doped films exhibited reverse saturated absorption (RSA), and the occurrence of the reverse saturated absorption behavior of the doped films was mainly due to two-photon absorption (TPA), free carrier absorption (FCA), and the presence of defective energy levels. Compared with pure films, - films exhibit significantly enhanced nonlinear absorption properties and nonlinear refractive properties. By increasing Ni sputtering power and incident laser energy, the nonlinear optic properties of - films are enhanced. By testing the sample films using SEM, XRD, and UV-Vis techniques, we found that Ni metal doping greatly improved and optimized the crystallinity of the films and adjusted the optical band gap.

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) emerges as a potent catalyst for converting CO2 to formic acid (HCOOH), leveraging its abundant lattice oxygen and the high activity of its Bi-O bonds. Yet, its durability is usually impeded by the loss of lattice oxygen causing structure alteration and destabilized active bonds. Herein, we report an innovative approach via the interstitial incorporation of indium (In) into the Bi2O3, significantly enhancing bond stability and preserving lattice oxygen.

This study evaluated the potential of starch (ST) and carrageenan (CRG) in packaging film formulation. CRG isolated from the seaweed (SW) was blended with starch and cast to obtain films whose moisture content (MC), total soluble matter (TSM), degree of solubility (DS), water vapor permeability (WVP), opacity (O), contact angles (CA), moisture absorption (MA), and percent elongation (PE) were evaluated.

Despite pictures being static representations, they use various cues to suggest dynamic motion. To investigate the effectiveness of different motion cues in conveying speed in static images, we conducted 3 experiments. In Experiment 1, we compared subjective speed ratings given for motion lines trailing behind movers, suppletion lines replacing parts of the movers and backfixing lines set in the background against the baseline of having no extra cue.

We demonstrate high-throughput evaluation of the half-metallicity of CoMnSi Heusler alloys by spin-integrated hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) of composition-spread films performed with high-brilliance synchrotron radiation at NanoTerasu, which identifies the optimum composition showing the best half-metallicity. Co Mn Si composition-spread thin films for = 10-40% with a thickness of 30 nm are fabricated on MgO(100) substrates using combinatorial sputtering technique. The 2-ordering and (001)-oriented epitaxial growth of CoMnSi are confirmed by X-ray diffraction for = 18-40%.
