Single crystal fibers combine the great specific surface area of fibers and the single crystal property of the bulk crystal which shows great potential for a high-power laser. For an Er-doped crystal, due to the fluorescence quenching at the 3 μm wavelength, high Er doping is necessary to increase the fluorescent up-conversion for the breaking limitation. However, a high Er doping concentration must lead to high heat accumulation, resulting in poor laser performance. Compared with an Er-doped bulk crystal, Er-doped SCF has the great potential to remove the heat in the crystal, and it is easy to obtain a high power. In this paper, Er: YScGaO (Er: YSGG) single crystals were successfully grown using the micro-pulling-down method (μ-PD). Owing to the stably grown interface, the diameter of the crystal is 2 mm with a length up to 80 mm. Then, the measurements of Laue spots and Er distribution indicated that our crystals have a high quality. Based on the as-prepared Er: YSGG SCF, the continuous-wave (CW) laser operations at 2794 nm were realized. The maximum output was 166 mW with a slope efficiency of up to 10.99%. These results show that Er: YSGG SCF is a suitable material for future high-power 3 μm laser operation.

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.

The mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of high fundamental and practical relevance. A particularly intriguing technique for determining anisotropic elastic tensors is Brillouin scattering, which so far has rarely been used for highly complex materials like MOFs. In the present contribution, we apply this technique to study a newly synthesized MOF-type material, referred to as GUT2.

Background: In the era of resistance, the design and search for new "small" molecules with a narrow spectrum of activity that target a protein or enzyme specific to a certain bacterium with high selectivity and minimal side effects remains an urgent problem of medicinal chemistry. In this regard, we developed and successfully implemented a strategy for the search for new hybrid molecules, namely, the not broadly known [2-(3-R-1-[1,2,4]-triazol-5-yl)phenyl]amines. They can act as "building blocks" and allow for the introduction of certain structural motifs into the desired final products in order to enhance the antistaphylococcal effect.

Background: Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal skin cancer that affects thousands of people worldwide. Ruthenium complexes have shown promising results as cancer chemotherapeutics, offering several advantages over platinum drugs, such as potent efficacy, low toxicity, and less drug resistance. Additionally, anthraquinone derivatives have broad therapeutic applications, including melanoma.

A series of α-hydroxy-alkylphosphonates and α-hydroxy-alkylphosphine oxides were synthesized by the Pudovik reaction of acetaldehyde and acetone with dialkyl phosphites or diarylphosphine oxides. The additions were performed in three different ways: in liquid phase using triethylamine as the catalyst (1), on the surface of AlO/KF solid catalyst (2), or by a MW-assisted NaCO-catalyzed procedure (3). In most of the cases, our methods were more efficient and more robust than those applied in the literature.
