The emerging two-dimensional (2D) Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskites with bidentate ligands have attracted significant attention due to enhanced structural stability compared with conventional Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites with monodentate ligands linked by van der Waals interactions. However, how the pure chemical bond lattice interacts with excited state excitons and its impact on the exciton nature and dynamics in 2D DJ-perovskites, particularly in comparison to RP-perovskites, remains unexplored. Herein, by a combined spectroscopy study on excitonic and structural dynamics, we reveal a persistent exciton dressed by a weak polaronic effect in DJ-perovskite due to their rigid and harmonic lattice, in striking contrast to significantly screened exciton polaron observed in RP-perovskites. Despite the similar exciton binding energy (∼0.3 eV) in both = 1 DJ- and RP-perovskites with near-identical crystal structure, photoexcitation results in a slightly screened exciton with minimal structural relaxation and a retained binding energy of ∼0.29 eV in DJ-perovskites but strongly screened exciton polaron with a binding energy of ∼0.13 eV in RP-perovskites. Structural dynamics further highlight the rigid and harmonic lattice motion in DJ-perovskites, as opposed to the thermally activated anharmonic lattice in RP-perovskites, arising from their distinct bonding modes. Our study offers insights into modulating excited state properties in 2D perovskites, simulating the rational design of hybrid semiconductors with tailored properties and functionalities.

Acentric crystalline materials are the cornerstone of numerous cutting-edge technologies and have been highly sought-after, but they are difficult to construct controllably. Herein, by introducing a new p-block element to break the symmetrical environment of the d transition metal in the centric matrix TiTeO, a novel acentric tellurite sulfate, namely Ti(TeO)(SO), was successfully constructed. In its structure, two types of p-block element-centered oxo-anionic groups, [TeO] and [SO], endow [TiO] with an out-of-center distortion along the local C[111] direction, which is rare in titanium oxides containing a lone-pair cation.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) musculoskeletal conditions are a leading contributor to disability worldwide. This fact is often somewhat overlooked, since musculoskeletal conditions are less likely to be associated with mortality. Nonetheless, treatments, therapies and management of these conditions are extremely costly to national healthcare systems.

This study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a system with frequency-dependent stiffness using a MEMS-based capacitive inertial sensor as a case study. The sensor is positioned directly on a rotating component of a machine and consists of a microbeam clamped at both ends by fixed supports with a fixed central proof mass. The nonlinear behavior is determined by electrostatic forces, axial and bending motion coupling, and frequency-dependent stiffness.

The use of quantum mechanical potentials in protein-ligand affinity prediction is becoming increasingly feasible with growing computational power. To move forward, validation of such potentials on real-world challenges is necessary. To this end, we have collated an extensive set of over a thousand galectin inhibitors with known affinities and docked them into galectin-3.

Purpose: To determine how the biomechanical vulnerability of the human brain is affected by features of individual anatomy and loading.
Methods: To identify the features that contribute most to brain vulnerability, we imparted mild harmonic acceleration to the head and measured the resulting brain motion and deformation using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Oscillatory motion was imparted to the heads of adult participants using a lateral actuator (n = 24) or occipital actuator (n = 24) at 20 Hz, 30 Hz, and 50 Hz.
