Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”

Fluid fluxing and accumulation drive decadal and short-lived explosive basaltic andesite eruptions preceded by limited volcanic unrest by Utami, Sri Budhi, Costa, Fidel, Lesage, Ph., Allard, P., Humaida, H.

“…Here we interrogate the rock record and obtain insights into the processes and pre-eruptive conditions that led to the 1990 Kelud eruption, which we integrate with monitoring data (seismicity, lake temperature and hydro-Acoustics, sulfur emissions) towards a conceptual model for this type of events. Mineral-melt geothermobarometers indicate that the basaltic andesite magma carried a crystal cargo from as deep as 1519 km, and reached volatile saturation at 49 km with 24 wt.% water in the melt. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”

In-plane aligned assemblies of 1D-nanoobjects : recent approaches and applications by Hu, Hebing, Wang, Shancheng, Feng, Xueling, Pauly, Matthias, Decher, Gero, Long, Yi

“…Optical polarizers are a typical class of such materials, but anisotropic materials properties can enhance the performance of devices and materials over many length scales in various disciplines of materials science including electronic devices, environmental sensors, energy saving and energy generation applications, plasmonic devices, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and biological applications. The reviewed alignment methods fall into two categories: techniques in which all nanoobjects remain in the x,y-plane and the in-plane densities and alignment are controlled; and techniques allowing building complex architectures in which each stratum of multilayered or stacked films may differ in chemical nature or alignment direction or both. …”

Hybrid machining of structural ceramics by Choon, Yee King.

“…For alcohol-thin-film-assisted etching, a 10 fold increase in material removal rate compared to water and KOH is observed, with depth of texture ranged from 100 to 330 µm. Explosive melt expulsion could be the dominant material removal mechanism, which enhanced the etching efficiency in water and KOH according to the observed cavities on the etched surface. …”
