Here, we constructed Pb-free Cu-DABDT-MOFs-based (DABDT = 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol dihydrochloride) X-ray detectors. Combined with the advantage of high activation energy, Cu-DABDT-MOFs-based detector can effectively generate and capture electron under X-ray exposure...

SummaryThe maghemitization process, by which magnetic minerals with spinel structure become progressively oxidized but remain single phase spinels, seems to be an important feature of submarine weathering. Whether the process takes place by the minerals acquiring oxygen from the sea-water or by the sea-water leaching out iron, the controlling process is the diffusion of Fe2+ in the spinel structure. Magnetic studies have suggested that during maghemitization the availability for oxidation of Fe2+ in the tetrahedral (A) sites of the spinel structure is much less than that in octahedral (B) sites. In this study the Fe2+-containing spinels FeAl2O4, FeCr2O4, FeGa2O4, and Fe2GeO4, in which Fe2+ is predominantly in either A or B sites were prepared, and the diffusion of Fe2+ was studied by (1) interdiffusion experiments with the Mg2+ counterparts and (2) oxidation experiments in air. Fe2GeO4 (Fe2+ in B sites) was found to be associated with a higher interdiffusion coefficient and lower activation energy than FeAl2O4 (75% Fe2+ in A sites). Oxidation/diffusion activation energies of 0.27 and 0.71 eV were assigned to Fe2+ in B and A sites respectively. The experiments thus provide support for the maghemitization model in which Fe2+ in B sites is preferentially oxidized.

The torquoselectivity of ring opening of 3-CF<sub>3</sub>-cyclobutene, 3-CHF<sub>2</sub>-cyclobutene, 3-CH<sub>2</sub>F-cyclobutene, 3-CF<sub>3</sub>-oxetene and perfluoro-3-CH<sub>3</sub>-cyclobutene have been studied at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory and the results analysed by using the differential activation energy approach and also differential NBO interactions of the breaking ring bond with the substituent bonds. The outward or inward ring opening that has lower activation energy in the differential activation energy approach or larger interaction in the differential NBO interaction approach constitutes the preferred mode. The predictions from the two approaches are largely found to be contradicting each other, specifically when the substituent is electron-deficient. The CHF<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>2</sub>F substituents on cyclobutene and oxetene can adopt three distinct conformations with respect to the cleaving ring bond. It has been discovered that each conformer exhibits a distinct level of torquoselectivity and some may even contribute to the overall selectivity substantially. The conformational profile of the substituent, therefore, is recommended to be taken into account in any serious treatment of the subject. The experimental torquoselectivity, if otherwise, is a likely consequence of secondary reactions, specifically equilibration through reaction reversal while honouring the relative thermodynamic stabilities of the ring opened products.

The electronic structure and the corresponding electrical conductive behavior of the Cu/Cr2C/TiN stack were assessed according to a newly developed first-principle model based on density functional theory. Using an additional Cr2C layer provides the metal-like characteristic of the Cu/Cr2C/TiN stack with much larger electrical conduction coefficients (i.e., mobility, diffusivity, and electrical conductivity) than the conventional Ag/Ti3C2/Pt stack due to the lower activation energy. This device is therefore capable of offering faster switching speeds, lower programming voltage, and better stability and durability than the memristor device with conventional Ti3C2 MXene.
