The site-selective NW growth was enabled by a rectangular array of gold droplets on silicon (Si) tips with an Au nuclei density below 0.25 μm−2 on the surrounding silicon oxide (SiO2). The initial growth of Ge NWs starting from Si–Au droplets with SixGe1−x nucleation from ternary alloy is discussed from a thermodynamic point of view. The in-plane NW elongation occurred within ⟨110⟩ directions on the substrate and NWs were mainly bounded by two 55◦ inclined 111 facets and a less pronounced planar (001) top facet. Fully relaxed crystal lattices of Ge NWs were observed from two-dimensional reciprocal space maps of x-ray diffraction measurements.

The crystal structure is a twofold superstructure of the aristotype ZrSSi and consists of puckered cationic [GdS]+ double slabs that are sandwiched by planar sulfur sheets containing S22– dumbbells. The thermal decomposition of GdS2 proceeds via the sulfur-deficient polysulfides GdS1.9, GdS1.85 and GdS1.77 and eventually results in the sesquisulfide Gd2S3. GdS2 is a paramagnetic semiconductor which orders antiferromagnetically at TN = 7.7(1) K. A metamagnetic transition is observed in the magnetically ordered state.

The previously known bismuth telluride iodides, BiTeI and Bi₂TeI, offer physical properties relevant for spintronics. Herewith a new cousin, Bi₃TeI (sp.gr. R3m, a = 440.12(2) pm, c = 3223.1(2) pm), joins the ranks and expands this structural family. Bi₃TeI = [Bi₂][BiTeI] represents a stack with strictly alternating building blocks. Conditions for reproducible synthesis and crystal-growth of Bi₂TeI and Bi₃TeI are ascertained, thus yielding platelet-like crystals on the millimeter size scale and enabling direct measurements. The crystal structures of Bi₂TeI and Bi₃TeI are examined by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. DFT calculations predict metallic properties of Bi₃TeI and an unconventional surface state residing on various surface terminations. This state emerges as a result of complex hybridization of atomic states due to their strong intermixing. Our study does not support the existence of new stacking variants BiₓTeI with x > 3; instead, it indicates a possible homogeneity range of Bi₃TeI. The series BiTeI–Bi₂TeI–Bi₃TeI illustrates the influence of structural modifications on topological properties.

Since there is a lack of technical literature on this topic, most students working on projects or theses related to this topic send their inquiries. A time of general and quick changes results in a large number of daily publications. Therefore it is difficult to understand why there is a lack of lit-erature about floating structures. One has to consider that sea levels will continue to rise and consequently a larger number of people will have to live on the surface of the sea. Obviously, some expert knowledge is required which needs a longer period of time to be gained through scientific advancements and experience. The publishers, who have been dealing with the topic of floating houses for some years, are grateful to the authors for their agreement to allow the publication of their papers on floating architecture. These papers were mainly prepared for two conferences on floating architecture held in the study centre of the IBA building, Großräschen. Therefore, the reader should know that, along with the usual papers, only a selection of self-explaining transparencies is shown in order to meet the printing requirements. The included list of both the authors and their addresses makes it easy for interested people to send any inquiries to them. A short introduction as well as an outlook at the end of each paper is meant to draw attention to current events in order to be able to promptly identify opportunities and risks connected with living on the water.

The thermal behavior of the ionic liquids is relevant for a number of emerging large-scale applications at elevated temperature. Knowledge about the degradation products is indispensable for treatment and recycling of the used ionic liquids. The objective of this paper was an investigation of the short- and long-term stability of several 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides, determination of the degradation products, and the elucidation of their decomposition patterns and structure–stability relations. Short-term stability and mechanism of thermal degradation were investigated by a self-developed, innovative thermal analysis single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry device with Skimmer coupling. The applied technology provides real-time monitoring of the forming species and allows tracing their change during the course of the decomposition. Therein, the almost fragment-free soft ionization with vacuum ultraviolet photons plays a crucial role. We have detected unfragmented molecules whose formation was only assumed by electron ionization. Nevertheless, the main decomposition products of the selected ionic liquids were alkyl imidazoles, alkenes, alkyl halides, and hydrogen halides. From the decomposition products, we have deduced the fragmentation patterns and discussed their interrelation with the length of the alkyl chain and the type of the halide anion. Our results did not suggest the evaporation of the investigated ionic liquids prior to their decomposition under atmospheric conditions. Long-term thermal stability and applicability were determined based on thermogravimetric analysis evaluated with a kinetic model. Thus, the time-dependent maximum operation temperature (MOT) for the respective ionic liquids has been calculated. As a rule, the short-term stability overestimates the long-term decomposition temperatures; the calculated MOT are significantly lower (at least 100 K) than the standardly obtained decomposition temperatures.

To determine proper synthesis conditions for the desired target composition, the binary phase diagram Gd-Te was evaluated by CalPhaD methods. The compounds are isostructural to SmTe1.8 and crystallize in space group P4/n (no. 85) with lattice parameters of a = 966.10(4), 960.00(3), and 957.33(2) pm and c = 1794.15(10), 1785.77(6), and 1779.38(5) pm for GdTe1.8, TbTe1.8 and DyTe1.8, respectively. The structures consist of puckered [RETe] double slabs and planar telluride layers composed of Te2 dumbbells and linear Te3 units in accordance with ELI-D based bonding analyses. The latter can be understood as a Te3(4–) anion. GdTe1.8 is a semiconductor with a bandgap of 0.19 eV/0.17 eV (experimental / calculated). Magnetization data confirm trivalent RE ions and indicate antiferromagnetic order at T(N) = 12 K for TbTe1.8 and T(N) = 9.8 K for DyTe1.8, whereas GdTe1.8 remains paramagnetic down to 2 K.

A1 - Falta, Jens T1 - Growth of Epitaxial 3,4,9,10-Perylene Tetracarboxylic Dianhydride on Bi-Terminated Silicon T2 - Journal of Physical Chemistry C N2 - The epitaxial quality of thin films crucially depends on their interaction with the substrate. Up to now, Ag-terminated Si(111) has been employed as the model substrate for the growth of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on semiconductors. In this study, we will show that Bi termination results in PTCDA films of superior epitaxial quality. We have studied the growth of PTCDA on bismuth-passivated Si(111) in detail by means of spot profile analysis of low-energy electron diffraction (SPA-LEED), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorptionfine structure (NEXAFS), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The XPS results reveal the presence of intact PTCDA molecules on the surface upon adsorption. NEXAFS data indicate the PTCDA molecules being oriented with their molecular plane parallel to the surface. STM shows a very smooth growth front of the PTCDA film, preserving the step structure of the substrate. High-resolution SPA-LEED data demonstrate the presence of a multidomain surface with a rich variety of PTCDA surface structures, which were identified to be most prominently herring-bone polytypes. However, in the monolayer range, quadratic brick-wall structures and a nearly square-like structure as well as a perylene-like structure have also been found. Despite the simultaneous presence of multiple domains, the individual domains show excellent lateral ordering, with larger domain sizes as compared to the case of Ag-terminated Si(111).

A new synthesis technique is used to obtain thin sheets of α-TiCl₃ that show exceptional physical properties in contrast to their bulk counterparts, due to an enlarged surface-to-volume ratio. Chemical vapor transport (CVT) of α-titanium(III) chloride directly on substrates results in microsheets that exhibit an improved catalytic effect. For rational planning of synthesis conditions, thermodynamic simulations of occurring gas-phase equilibria were performed. Based on these calculation results, crystal growth was achieved by adding GaCl₃via pure short term CVT in a temperature gradient of 700–600 K on yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. Phase pure, as-grown, single crystal sheets with high crystallinity and a thickness of around 4 μm were obtained. These thin sheets of α-TiCl₃ on YSZ substrates were implemented as catalysts for the ethylene polymerization reaction. A significant improvement of catalytic activity of 16% was achieved, probably due to an increased surface-to-volume ratio. As a highlight, the as-grown microsheets were exfoliated subsequently to a thickness lower than 200 nm and an even higher catalytic activity of up to 24% was confirmed experimentally due to delamination effects. This is the first time that an improved catalytic effect of α-TiCl₃ is observed as a result of downscaling from bulk to microsheets by CVT.

S was supplied from an electrochemical Ag2S cell. For room temperature adsorption and subsequent annealing, no ordered S induced reconstruction can be observed with spot profile analysis low-energy electron diffraction (SPALEED). S deposition at temperatures above about 400°C, however, leads to a well-ordered reconstruction. Judging from the LEED pattern, the same reconstruction was already observed by Metzner et al. [Surf. Sci. 377–379(1997) 71–74] who identified it as 4 × 4 reconstruction. The upper temperature limit for the pre-paration of this superstructure depends on S flux, which is needed to compensate for desorption. Prolonged S exposure leads to surface roughening, as observed with SPALEED and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), pointing to surface etching by S. From our SPALEED data, we can conclude that the observed reconstruction is not a 4 × 4 reconstruction, but a 20/12 superstructure with a rectangular unit cell that exists in three rotational domains, as confirmed by STM. Different structural trial models have been assessed with density functional theory. Among these model structures, a configuration with dimers adsorbed on bridging sites, with a S coverage of 1 monolayer, is most likely, since it is energetically favorable and is in agreement with all experimental results.

Employing epitaxial stress on rutile TiO2(001) substrates, the transition can be tuned to occur close to room temperature. Striving for applications in oxide-electronic devices, the lateral homogeneity of such samples must be considered as an important prerequisite for efforts towards miniaturization. Moreover, the preparation of smooth surfaces is crucial for vertically stacked devices and, hence, the design of functional interfaces. Here, the surface morphology of VO2/TiO2(001) films was analyzed by low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction as well as scanning probe microscopy. The formation of large terraces could be achieved under temperature-induced annealing, but also the occurrence of facets was observed and characterized. Further, we report on quasi-periodic arrangements of crack defects which evolve due to thermal stress under cooling. While these might impair some applicational endeavours, they may also present crystallographically well-oriented nano-templates of bulk-like properties for advanced approaches.

The desolvated framework can be obtained in the open pore form (op) or in the closed pore form (cp), depending on the crystal size regime. In the present work, we report on the behaviour of desolvated DUT-8(Ni) at elevated temperatures. For both, op and cp variants, heating causes a structural transition, leading to an new, crystalline compound, containing two interpenetrated networks. The state of the framework before transition (op vs. cp) influences the transition temperature: the small particles of the op phase transform at significantly lower temperature in comparison to the macroparticles of the cp phase, transforming close to the decomposition temperature. The new compound, confined closed pore phase (ccp), was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques, such as IR, EXAFS, and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Thermal effects of structural cp to ccp transitions were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), showing an overall exothermic effect of the process, involving bond breaking and reformation. Theoretical calculations reveal the energetics, driving the observed temperature induced phase transition.

The catalytic activity may further be enhanced by alloying ceria with trivalent, catalytically active metals, such as Sm, promoting the formation of Ce3+ active sites. In this work, the structural and chemical properties of (111)- and (100)- oriented CeOx islands alloyed with samarium were explored by low-energy electron microscopy and X-ray photoemission electron microscopy. After Sm deposition on the as-grown CeOx islands, the near-surface region of (100)-oriented CeOx is reduced after exposure to H2 at 470 ∘C, whereas the deeper layers as well as the whole (111)-oriented islands retain the Ce4+ state. Subsequent reoxidation with O2 leads to the complete Ce4+ state recovery, suggesting the healing of oxygen vacancies. Additional annealing at 470 ∘C induces samarium diffusion into the ceria matrix. Yet, subsequent exposure to H2 reduces neither the (111)- nor the (100)-oriented CeSmOx islands, suggesting a quite unexpected stability of this system.

T1 - Active protease formulation in commodity polymers withstands melt processing into compounds and blown films T2 - Materials Today Communications N2 - Integrating enzymes into thermoplastic polymers is challenging due to their lack of robustness with respect to temperature and shear fields during conventional melt processing. In the present study, blown films from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were prepared containing a technical protease from Bacillus sp. First, LDPE/protease compounds were produced followed by blown film extrusion, both processes at melt mass temperatures of 130 °C or higher. Enzyme activity was proven, both for the LDPE/protease compound and the blown film. The highest enzyme activity in the compound was determined for processing at 132 °C and a screw speed of 75 rpm. The influence of melt temperature and shear fields was studied in detail. Enzyme activities were determined for melt temperatures up to 160 °C and for screw speeds ranging from 75 to 300 rpm during compounding by twin-screw extrusion. The process was also applied for biobased and biodegradable polyesters, where similar protease activity after compounding was verified. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry served to analyze components and morphology of the enzyme formulation used here. It is proposed that the porous morphology of the protease particles is beneficial for the enzyme to remain active after processing. Additionally, the polymer matrix surrounding the particles protects the protease at elevated temperatures, which can be attributed to thermal insulation. Thus, the right combination of a suited technical enzyme formulation with appropriate mild melt compounding conditions allows enzymes to be incorporated into thermoplastics and retain their activity. This opens the way to use the abundant biological functions of enzymes in thermoplastic applications.

Our results show that samarium oxide grows in a hexagonal A-Sm2O3 phase on Ru(0001), exhibiting a (0001) oriented-top facet and (113) side facets. Upon annealing, a structural transition from the hexagonal to cubic phase occurs, in which the Sm cations exhibit the +3 oxidation state. The unexpected initial growth in the A-Sm2O3 hexagonal phase and its gradual transition to a mixture with cubic C-Sm2O3 showcases the complexity of the system and the critical role of the substrate in the stabilization of the hexagonal phase, which was previously reported only at high pressures and temperatures for bulk samaria. Besides, these results highlight the potential interactions that Sm could have with other catalytic compounds with respect to the here gathered insights on the preparation conditions and the specific compounds with which it interacts.

We have investigated the growth and redox properties of ceria nanoislands grown on Au(111) between 700 and 890 °C, which yields the CeO2–Au(111) model catalyst system. We have observed a distinct correlation between deposition temperature, structural order, and oxide composition through low-energy electron microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, intensity–voltage curves, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Improved structural order and thermal stability of the oxide have been achieved by increasing the oxygen chemical potential at the substrate surface using reactive oxygen (O/O2) instead of molecular O2 during growth. In situ characterization under reducing (H2) and oxidizing atmospheres (O2, CO2) indicates an irreversible loss of structural order and redox activity at high reduction temperatures, while moderate temperatures result in partial decomposition of the ceria nanoislands (Ce3+/Ce4+) to metallic cerium (Ce0). The weak interaction between Au(111) and CeOx would facilitate its reduction to the Ce0 metallic state, especially considering the comparatively strong interaction between Ce0 and Au0. Besides, the higher reactivity of atomic oxygen promotes a stronger interaction between the gold and oxide islands during the nucleation process, explaining the improved stability. Thus, we propose that by driving the nucleation and growth of the ceria/Au system in a highly oxidizing regime, novel chemical properties can be obtained.

Seven laboratories are involved, and each participant has measured an individual reference substrate fabricated from a high-resistivity silicon wafer in the same batch. One- and two-port co-planar waveguide (CPW) structures are designed, simulated, and fabricated. The measurements from 10 GHz to 1.1 THz, extending across six frequency bands, are conducted using different equipment in terms of vendors and specifications (e.g., probe pitch size). Despite such differences, this interlaboratory study has shown a generally good agreement between results from different participants when uncertainties are considered. The comparison with simulated reference values demonstrates agreement within 0.08 for |S11| and 2 dB for |S21| measurements of matched devices up to 1.1 THz. The measurement comparison demonstrates the need for a standardized measurement approach and, with that, a potential to achieve accurate on-wafer CPW measurements up to THz frequencies, underpinning the development of integrated circuits for such high frequencies.

LEED shows the evolution of a new surface structure, which could be identified as an incommensurate rectangular reconstruction with lattice parameters of a = (6.4 ± 0.1) Å and b = (8.6 ± 0.1) Å present in three domains rotated by 120° with respect to each other. This structure can be related to the zigzag reconstructions found for similar ultra-thin oxide systems. Contrarily, the ()R30° structure showed no oxide formation even after extensive exposure to molecular oxygen. The usage of atomic oxygen, however, allows for oxidation of this surface and the growth of thicker oxides on both types of overlayers. At 500 °C this process is accompanied by substantial roughening of the surface.

Only the (100)-oriented ceria islands undergo substantial initial reduction upon samarium deposition at 740 K via a pathway similar to the strong Ce–ceria interfacial interaction, while the (111)-oriented islands remain in the Ce4+ oxidation state. This remarkable structure sensitivity is explained by the different energies required for oxygen vacancy formation for both oxide orientations. Subsequent mild re-oxidation with O2 results in the complete recovery of the Ce4+ oxidation state in the (100)-oriented islands, indicating the complete healing of oxygen vacancies. In contrast, extended annealing at moderate temperatures likely induces persistent samarium incorporation into the cerium oxide matrix. Our results provide new insights into the complex structure–activity relationships in mixed rare-earth metal oxide systems and have promising implications for optimizing catalytic reactions over such compounds in reducing environments.

T1 - Molecular dosimetry of estragole and 1′-hydroxyestragole-induced DNA adduct formation, clastogenicity and cytotoxicity in human liver cell models T2 - Archives of toxicology N2 - The phenylpropene estragole (ES) is found in essential oils of herbs and spices, such as bitter fennel and basil. Humans are exposed to ES through the diet and phytomedicines. After its absorption, ES undergoes metabolic activation by CYP1A2 and SULT1A1 in the liver, which can give rise to DNA adducts and hepatocarcinogenesis. Until now, quantitative genotoxicity data for ES in human liver cells are scarce, correlating DNA adduct levels with critical effects such as clastogenicity. Here, we used human HepG2 and HepG2-CYP1A2 cells as well as primary human hepatocytes (PHH) to study the genotoxic, clastogenic and cytotoxic potential of ES and its crucial metabolite 1′-hydroxyestragole (1′OH-ES). In addition, primary rat hepatocytes (PRH) were used for selected endpoints. Treatment of HepG2-CYP1A2 cells with ES (0–2 mM) led to the concentration-dependent formation of E3′- N 2 -dG adducts. Apart from a moderate γH2AX induction, neither p53 accumulation nor cytotoxicity was observed. However, clastogenicity was demonstrated at ES concentrations ≥ 1 mM. Incubation of HepG2 cells with 1′OH-ES (0—35 µM) led to 10–50-fold higher E3′- N 2 -dG adduct levels compared to equimolar ES concentrations. Furthermore, 1′OH-ES caused γH2AX formation, p53 accumulation and cytotoxicity, which was confirmed in PHH. In agreement, 1′OH-ES induced clastogenicity at concentrations ≥ 25 µM. Molecular dosimetry revealed that a certain E3′- N 2 -dG adduct level is required to trigger clastogenicity and cytotoxicity. This was confirmed by Benchmark Concentration (BMC) modelling, showing that the BMC for clastogenicity is 12–17-fold higher than the respective BMC for DNA adduct formation. Our data indicate that a threshold level of DNA adducts is required, both in rat and human liver cells, to trigger markers of clastogenicity. These levels are unlikely to be reached in humans following chronic ES exposure through phytomedicines or the diet.
