aluminum phosphide (alp) as 3 g tablet is widely used in iran to protect stored food grains from pests. hyperglycemia following its ingestion has been already reported in the recent years but severe hypoglycemia is uncommon. here, we report a 19 year old male who attempted suicide with one tablet of alp and demonstrated severe hypoglycemia. despite restoration of blood glucose concentration to ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate potential oxidative stress in patients with acute phosphide poisoning and the effect of vitamin C. METHODS Participants were females and divided into three groups; group I: healthy volunteers group II: healthy volunteers received vitamin C, group III: patients with acute phosphide poisoning received the supportive and symptomatic treatment and group IV: patients with acu...

We demonstrate second harmonic generation in photonic crystal nanocavities fabricated in the semiconductor gallium phosphide. We observe second harmonic radiation at 750 nm with input powers of only nanowatts coupled to the cavity and conversion effciency P(out)/P(2)(in,coupled)=430%/W. The large electronic band gap of GaP minimizes absorption loss, allowing effcient conversion. Our results are...

Nickel phosphide-embedded graphene, prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of red phosphorus, nickel chloride, and graphene oxide in a mixture of ethylene glycol-water, is investigated as the counter electrode of DSSCs. It is demonstrated that the DSSC with the nickel phosphide-embedded graphene as the new counter electrode presents an excellent performance competing with that of the Pt electrode.

We present Raman spectra of InP measured under nonresonant conditions revealing multiphonon processes up to fifth order. Using an incident photon energy in the absorption region of the compound but far from any of its interband transitions, nonresonant multiphonon processes of order higher than two, which have not been reported so far in a zinc-blende-type semiconductor, have been observed in i...
