A double quantum dot in the few-electron regime is achieved using local gating in an InSb nanowire. The spectrum of two-electron eigenstates is investigated using electric dipole spin resonance. Singlet-triplet level repulsion caused by spin-orbit interaction is observed. The size and the anisotropy of singlet-triplet repulsion are used to determine the magnitude and the orientation of the spin...

Indium is a critical element mainly produced as a by-product of zinc mining, and it is largely used in the production process of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. End-of-life LCDs represent a possible source of indium in the field of urban mining. In the present paper, we apply, for the first time, cross-current leaching to mobilize indium from end-of-life LCD panels. We carried out a series...

The phase diagram of the ternary system L i I n S b is determined at 400 °C by electrochemical techniques. The lithium content of samples with different In : Sb ratios is varied by coulometric titration. The equilibrium lithium activities are obtained from emf measurements. Two new ternary compounds, Li3InSb2 and Li6InSb3 with a wide range of stoichiometry, exist along the quasibinary cut InSb-...

Natural photosynthesis harnesses solar energy to convert CO2 and water to value-added chemical products for sustaining life. We present a hybrid bioinorganic approach to solar-to-chemical conversion in which sustainable electrical and/or solar input drives production of hydrogen from water splitting using biocompatible inorganic catalysts. The hydrogen is then used by living cells as a source o...

A simple and robust protocol is detailed for the preparation of enantioenriched α-substituted (1,4-pentadien-3-yl)amine derivatives. The methodology involves the addition of an in situ formed pentadienyl indium reagent to chiral tert-butylsulfinimines, previously formed in the same pot. The addition takes place with excellent γ-regio- and diastereoselectivity for a wide range of carbonyl compou...

Methods for spectrally controlling light absorption in optoelectronic devices have attracted considerable attention in recent years. It is now well known that a Fabry-Perot nanocavity comprising thin semiconductor and metal films can be used to absorb light at selected wavelengths. The absorption wavelength is controlled by tailoring the thickness of the nanocavity and also by nanostructure pat...

Polymer filling of the air holes of Indium Phosphide based two-dimensional photonic crystals is reported. After infiltration of the holes with a liquid monomer and solidification of the infill in situ by thermal polymerization, complete filling is proven using scanning electron microscopy. Optical transmission measurements of a filled photonic crystal structure exhibit a redshift of the air ban...

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are recognized as promising candidates for next generation displays. QLEDs can be fabricated by low-cost solution processing except for the metal electrodes, which, in general, are deposited by costly vacuum evaporation. To be fully compatible with the low-cost solution process, we herein demonstrate vacuum-free and solvent-free fabrication of...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the human organ absorbed dose of [111In]In-DTPA-antiMUC1, as a newly developed radioimmunoconjugate. Methods: [111In]In-DTPA-antiMUC1 was prepared at optimized conditions while the radiochemical purity of the tracer was investigated using ITLC method. Biodistribution of the radiolab...

Intravascular mechanical support has been proposed as a solution to the frequent occurrence of vascular narrowing and occlusion after transluminal balloon angioplasty or surgical endarterectomy. Although several endovascular stents are currently in clinical use for angioplasty of larger vessels, acute thrombosis is a troublesome complication of their use with coronary angioplasty. To study thro...
