Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…This number coincides with the value of summer baseflow reported in earlier works. Therefore, like in the recently studied Yenisey River basin, the Mg isotope signature of the Lena River water likely stems from a mixture of carbonate (−2.0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −2.5 ‰) and silicate (0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −0.2 ‰) rocks in its watershed. …”

Perovskite superstructures and heterostructures for enhanced optical performance by Chan, Wen Kiat

“…From this study, we found that PbBr2 plays a critical role in CsPbBr3 SS formation. Since PbBr2 occupies Br vacancies naturally occurring on CsPbBr3 NCs, we proposed a possible SS formation mechanism where PbBr2 serves as a ‘glue’ linking together individual NCs to form SSs at higher PbBr2 concentrations. …”
