High transparency Pr:Y₂O₃ ceramics: a promising gain medium for red emission solid-state lasers by Li, Qing, Wang, Ying, Wang, Jun, Ma, Jie, Ni, Meng, Lin, Hui, Zhang, Jian, Liu, Peng, Xu, Xiaodong, Tang, Dingyuan

“…It was also found that the charge states of the Pr ions could be changed through regulating the annealing atmospheres, resulting in different absorption and emission characteristics in the visible wavelength region. …”

Barnacle cement protein as an efficient bioinspired corrosion inhibitor by Bui, My Hanh, Hiew, Shu Hui, Salim, Teddy, Saw, Wan Geok, Webster, Richard David, Grüber, Gerhard, Mu, Yuguang, Miserez, Ali

“…We reveal that these anti-corrosion properties are linked to the protein’s biophysical properties, namely its strong adsorption to surfaces combined with its interaction with Fe ions released by steel substrates, which forms a stable layer that increases the coating’s impedance and delays corrosion. …”

Synthesis and reactivity of electron-deficient phosphorus(III) compounds by Dordevic, Nemanja

“…In this view, we tuned the electronic properties of phosphenium ions by increasing their overall positive charge and by varying the extent of π-donation from the neighboring substituents to the central P atom. …”

Electrochemical modification of electrodes with metal nanoparticles by Mavrokefalos, C

“…For the first time, this study contradicts the classical theories for electrochemical nucleation and growth which proceed only by the fresh reduction of ions. It demonstrates that electrochemical nucleation and growth at the early stages is overpotential dependent and in fact proceed also by the aggregation of small clusters through surface diffusion when deposited at relatively higher overpotentials. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…This thesis explores the structural ice analogue cadmium cyanide, Cd(CN)2, a cubic negative thermal expansion (NTE) material, in which the orientation of cyanide ions maps onto the spin orientation in spin-ices. …”

Electronic structure of paramagnetic transition metal complexes by Al-Ameed, K

“…The distribution of metal ions across sites of different coordination geometry is a fundamental problem in inorganic chemistry (the text-book example is the spinel family) and we show here that the ligand-field stabilisation energy available to Ni^II dominates the site distribution. …”

Studies on the physicochemical, biomechanical and biological properties of novel decellularized bovine scaffold for bone regeneration by Qabbani, Ali Abdul Qader Hameed Al

“…RAMAN spectroscopy showed an increased abundance of collagen and bone minerals, particularly phosphate ions (PO43-), in DCC scaffolds. In conclusion, the decellularization technique effectively produced an acellular DCC scaffold with minimal ECM damage and superior osteogenic potential in both in vitro and in vivo models. …”

Quantitative analysis of 10 classes of phospholipids by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry by Huang, Qingxia, Lei, Hehua, Dong, Manyuan, Tang, Huiru, Wang, Yulan

“…The method takes three steps: first and second steps identified phospholipid structures in a mixture containing aliquots of all the samples using the combinations of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), product ion scan and retention time in the positive and negative ion modes. …”
