One-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanomaterials are of particular importance owing to their unique properties and potential applications. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive introduction of 1D La(OH)3nanostructures including nanowires, nanoneedles, nanobelts, and nanorods. Firstly, various strategies developed to fabricate the 1D La(OH)3nanostructures are discussed, such as precipitation and composite-hydroxide-mediated, hydrothermal, and solvothermal methods, accompanying the description of the corresponding growth mechanisms. Then, the unique properties such as novel physical properties of 1D La(OH)3nanostructures resulting from their unique electronic structures and numerous transition modes involving the 4f shells of these ions are represented in detail. Also, the wide applications in photocatalyst, capacitors, and photoluminescence based on the unique properties are discussed. Finally, the paper ends with a summary and some perspectives on the challenges and new directions in this emerging area.

Abstract Atomically sharp heterojunctions in lateral two-dimensional heterostructures can provide the narrowest one-dimensional functionalities driven by unusual interfacial electronic states. For instance, the highly controlled growth of patchworks of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) would be a potential platform to explore unknown electronic, thermal, spin or optoelectronic property. However, to date, the possible emergence of physical properties and functionalities monitored by the interfaces between metallic graphene and insulating h-BN remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate a blue emitting atomic-resolved heterojunction between graphene and h-BN. Such emission is tentatively attributed to localized energy states formed at the disordered boundaries of h-BN and graphene. The weak blue emission at the heterojunctions in simple in-plane heterostructures of h-BN and graphene can be enhanced by increasing the density of the interface in graphene quantum dots array embedded in the h-BN monolayer. This work suggests that the narrowest, atomically resolved heterojunctions of in-plane two-dimensional heterostructures provides a future playground for optoelectronics.

The structures of six symmetrically 4,6-disubstituted 2-aminopyrimidines, four of them containing a 5-nitroso substituent, have been determined. The nitroso compounds, in particular, exhibit polarized molecular–electronic structures leading to extensive charge-assisted hydrogen bonding. The intermolecular interactions observed include hard hydrogen bonds of N—H...N and N—H...O types together with O—H...O and O—H...N types in 2-amino-4,6-bis(2-hydroxyethylamino)-5-nitrosopyrimidine; soft hydrogen bonds of the C—H...O type in both 2-amino-4,6-bis(morpholino)-5-nitrosopyrimidine (3) and 2-amino-4,6-bis(benzylamino)-5-nitrosopyrimidine (4), and of the C—H...π(arene) type in both 2-amino-4,6-bis(piperidino)pyrimidine (1) and 2-amino-5-nitroso-4,6-bis(3-pyridylmethoxy)pyrimidine (5); and aromatic π...π stacking interactions in 2-amino-5-nitroso-4,6-bis(3-pyridylmethoxy)pyrimidine. The supramolecular structures formed by the hard hydrogen bonds are finite, zero-dimensional in (1), one-dimensional in 2-amino-4,6-bis(3-pyridylmethoxy)pyrimidine (2), two-dimensional in both (3) and (4), and three-dimensional in both (5) and 2-amino-4,6-bis(2-hydroxyethylamino)-5-nitrosopyrimidine.

Graphene has attracted great interest in materials science, owing to its novel electronic structures. Recently, magnetism discovered in graphene-based systems has opened up the possibility of their spintronics application. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the magnetic behaviors and electronic structures of graphene systems, including two-dimensional graphene, one-dimensional graphene nanoribbons, and zero-dimensional graphene nanoclusters. Theoretical research suggests that such metal-free magnetism mainly comes from the localized states or edges states. By applying an external electric field, or by chemical modification, we can turn the zigzag nanoribbon systems into half metal, thus obtaining a perfect spin filter.

We briefly describe the structures of open-framework metal phosphates with different dimensionalities, such as the one-dimensional linear-chain and ladder structures, two-dimensional layer structures and three-dimensional structures with channels. We demonstrate the role of the zero-dimensional four-membered ring monomer and of the one-dimensional ladder structure as the starting building units or synthons involved in the formation of the complex architectures. Thus, we show how the one-dimensional ladder structure transforms to two- and three-dimensional structures under mild conditions. The two-dimensional layer structures also transform to three-dimensional structures, while the zero-dimensional monomer transforms to layered and three-dimensional structures under ordinary reaction conditions. These transformations provide an insight into the possible pathways involved in the building up of the complex structures of metal phosphates. The isolation of amine phosphates during the hydrothermal synthesis of metal phosphates and also the facile reactions between amine phosphates and metal ions to yield a variety of open-framework materials have thrown light on the mechanism of formation and design of these structures. The existence of a hierarchy of open-framework metal oxalates and their ready formation by employing amine oxalates as intermediates provides additional support to the observations made earlier with regard to the phosphates.

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C3H7NO)(H2O)] n , each CuII atom is in a Cl3O2 five-coordinate environment with a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. Cu atoms are linked by μ2-Cl ions, resulting in a one-dimensional linear chain structure. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link adjacent chains to form a two-dimensional network.

Abstract Obtaining conductance spectra for a concentration of disordered impurities distributed over a nanoscale device with sensing capabilities is a well-defined problem. However, to do this inversely, i.e., extracting information about the scatters from the conductance spectrum alone, is not an easy task. In the presence of impurities, even advanced techniques of inversion can become particularly challenging. This article extends the applicability of a methodology we proposed capable of extracting composition information about a nanoscale sensing device using the conductance spectrum. The inversion tool decodes the conductance spectrum to yield the concentration and nature of the disorders responsible for conductance fluctuations in the spectra. We present the method for simple one-dimensional systems like an electron gas with randomly distributed delta functions and a linear chain of atoms. We prove the generality and robustness of the method using materials with complex electronic structures like hexagonal boron nitride, graphene nanoribbons, and carbon nanotubes. We also go on to probe distribution of disorders on the sublattice structure of the materials using the proposed inversion tool.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.
