Finally, we found that the tunable electronic structure with varied atomic numbers has significant influence on the spin-Seebeck effect. Correspondingly, the calculated spin-Seebeck coefficient of CoFeCrGa is -60.29 μV K-1 at 300 K, which is larger than that of other quaternary Heusler compounds. Our results provide a band-engineering platform to design Heusler structures with different electronic behaviors in isomorphic compounds, which provide the way for accelerating the pre-screening of materials to advance and for using the quaternary Heusler compounds for potential applications in spin caloritronic devices.The flow of a suspension through a bottleneck often leads to its obstruction. Such a continuous flow to clogging transition has been well characterized when the constriction width to particle size ratio, W/D, is smaller than 3-4. In such cases, the constriction is either blocked by a single particle that is larger than the constriction width (W/D less then 1), or there is an arch formed by several particles that try to enter it together (2 less then W/D less then 4). For larger W/D ratios, 4 less then W/D less then 10, the blockage of the constriction is presumed to be due to the successive accumulations of particles. Such a clogging mechanism may also apply to wider pores. The dynamics of this progressive obstruction remains largely unexplored since it is difficult to see through the forming clog and we still do not know how particles accumulate inside the constriction. In this paper, we use particle tracking and image analysis to study the clogging of a constriction/pore by stable colloidal particles. These techniques allow us to determine the shape and the size of all the objects, be they single particles or aggregates, captured inside the pore. We show that even with the rather monodisperse colloidal suspension we used individual particles cannot clog a pore alone. These individual particles can only partially cover the pore surface whilst it is the very small fraction of aggregates present in the suspension that can pile up and clog the pore. We analyzed the dynamics of aggregate motion up to the point of capture within the pore, which helps us to elucidate why the probability of aggregate capture inside the pore is high.We investigate with in situ surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) experiments the cathodic stability of an ultrathin single-crystalline IrO2(110) film with a regular array of mesoscopic rooflike structures that is supported on a RuO2(110)/Ru(0001) template. It turns out that the planarity of the single-crystalline IrO2(110) film is lost in that IrO2(110) oxide domains delaminate at a cathodic potential of -0.18 V. Purmorphamine agonist Obviously, the electrolyte solution is able to reach the RuO2(110) layer presumably through the surface grain boundaries of the IrO2(110) layer. Subsequently, the single-crystalline RuO2(110) structure-directing template is reduced to amorphous hydrous RuO2, with the consequence that the IrO2(110) film loses partly its adhesion to the template. From in situ XRR experiments we find that the IrO2(110) film does not swell upon cathodic polarization down to -0.18 V, while from in situ SXRD experiments, the lattice constants of IrO2(110) are shown to be not affected. The rooflike mesostructure of the IrO2(110) flakes remains intact after cathodic polarization to -0.18 V, evidencing that the crystallinity of IrO2(110) is retained.Different substituents at the β-diiminato ligand in low-valent [LFe(tol)] (L = β-diiminato) complexes fundamentally change their reactivity towards yellow arsenic. By using dmp (2,6-dimethylphenyl) as flanking groups, the tetranuclear complexes [(LFe)4As8] (L = L1 (1), L2 (2)) are isolated. For dipp (2,6-diisopropylphenyl) substituted ligands, dinuclear complexes [(LFe)2(cyclo-As4)] (L = L3 (3a), L4 (4a)) are obtained. Not only the choice of the ligand impacts the product formation, but also the temperature of the crystallization can shift their ratio in the solid state.Metals are amongst the most efficient developed electrocatalysts for nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) with iron and ruthenium presenting the best catalytic indicators. However, the potential use of metal alloys as NRR electrocatalysts is still underdeveloped. While Co has demonstrated poor electrocatalytic activity for NRR, alloying Co with Mo exhibits an improvement in both N2 physisorption and the stabilisation of the elusive N2H as the first reduced intermediate species. This stabilisation occurs on surface Mo or Co atoms with a high connectivity with Mo. Herein, we report a complete DFT study analysing the potential application of CoMo alloys as catalysts for N2-into-NH3 conversion given the low theoretical overpotentials that they present.A probe, MITO-TPE, was developed for imaging mitochondrial SO2 with good selectivity, high sensitivity, and a fast response time. Cell imaging indicated that SO2-induced oxidative stress may cause damage to cells through O2˙- bursting. MITO-TPE has here been used to image the misregulation of SO2 levels in mitochondria during heat stroke for the first time.The dynamic Schiff base bond is exploited to construct monodisperse dopamine-based nanoparticles with autofluorescence and pH-sensitivity. This allows facile monitoring and pH-responsive drug release in the acidic tumor microenvironment. Anticancer drugs doxorubicin and a photosensitizer chlorin e6 are further loaded into the nanoparticles and synergistic anticancer efficacy is achieved.The self-assembly of a quadruple-stranded Eu(iii) helicate induces the conformation transformation of a DAE-based photochromic ligand from parallel to antiparallel, which brings a significant improvement in the photocyclization quantum yield (Φo-c) as compared with the free ligand. Furthermore, the photocontrolled open- and closed-rings of the ligand realized a reversible modulation toward Eu3+ center emission.Tissue engineering is considered highly promising for the repair of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and accumulating evidence has proved the efficacy of biomaterials and 3D printing. Although collagen is famous for its natural properties, some defects still restrict its potential applications in tissue repair. In this experimental study, we fabricated a kind of scaffold with collagen and heparin sulfate via 3D printing, which possesses favorable physical properties and suitable degradation rate along with satisfactory cytocompatibility. After implantation, the results of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) showed that the latency and amplitude can both be improved in hemiplegic limbs, and the structural integrity of the cerebral cortex and corticospinal tract can be enhanced significantly under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation. Additionally, the results of in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunofluorescence staining also revealed the facilitating role of 3D printing collagen/heparin sulfate scaffolds on vascular and neural regeneration.
