Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…The introduction of a cooperative octahedral tilt around the crystallographic z-axis leads to a local breaking of the inversion symmetry of the host lattice on fluorination, although the global inversion symmetry of the lattice is retained due to an alternation in the z-tilt direction in adjacent perovskite sheets.</p> <p>The substitution of Sr²⁺ with Ca²⁺ cations in YSr₂Mn₂O₇ led to an increasing distortion of the metal-oxide framework, resulting in the formation of an orthorhombic symmetry in space group <em>Pnnm</em> adopted by YSr_0.5Ca_1.5Mn₂O₇. …”

Multi-colony coral skeletal Ba/Ca from Singapore’s turbid urban reefs : relationship with contemporaneous in-situ seawater parameters by Tanzil, Jani Thuaibah Isa, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank, Sin, T. M., Chen, Mengli, Fabbro, Gareth Nicholas, Boyle, E. A., Lee, A. C., Toh, K. B.

“…Our results highlight the possibility of high heterogeneity in coral responses to environmental conditions, and the need for careful selection of colonies and a site-specific, replicated approach when attempting to apply Ba/Cacoral as a trace element proxy.…”

Dynamics in blue emitting metal halide perovskites for light emitting diodes by Karlsson, Max

“…We first find that compositional heterogeneities, stemming from rapid uncontrolled film growth, both lowers the threshold for further halide segregation as well as serves as centers for non-radiative recombination, resulting in reduced luminescence yield. We show that by carefully moderating the crystallization dynamics it is possible to achieve films with a homogeneous composition, thereby mitigating the negative effects arising from material inhomogeneities. …”
