“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…The improved electrochromic performance is due the existence of Nd-Mo co-dopants that restrict the trapping of Li+ ions within the α-WO3 framework. This reduces the degree of crystallization of α-WO3 layer and improves the electronic conductivity by transferring excess electrons to the conduction band of the SnO2. …”

Ultralow-threshold two-photon pumped amplified spontaneous emission and lasing from seeded CdSe/CdS nanorod heterostructures by Xing, Guichuan, Liao, Yile, Wu, Xiangyang, Chakrabortty, Sabyasachi, Liu, Xinfeng, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee, Sum, Tze Chien, Chan, Yinthai

“…Ultrafast optical spectroscopy verified that while the Auger processes in these heterostructures are indeed suppressed, ASE in these samples could also be strongly affected by a fast hole trapping process to the NR surface states. Lastly, to exemplify the potential of these seeded CdSe/CdS nanodot/nanorod heterostructures as a viable gain media for achieving two-photon lasing, a highly photostable microsphere laser with an ultralow pump threshold is showcased.…”

Chlorine and NaCl in hydrous basaltic melts by Rusiecka, MK, Wood, BJ

“…Finally, measurements of the compositions of melt inclusions from Etna were used to calculate the activities of NaCl in the inclusions and the salinities of fluids with which the inclusions would be in equilibrium. From the trapping pressures of the inclusions and their compositions we find that decompression from 500 MPa to ∼50 MPa is accompanied, in this case, by a salinity increase from &lt;1 wt% NaCl to ∼50 % NaCl.…”
