Luminescent mononuclear aluminium(III) complexes that can control molecular arrangements and dielectric properties by exposure to solvent vapor in the solid state have been reported. In this image, left side represents nonpolar structure under MeOH vapor, right polar DMSO vapor. The second harmonic generation (SHG) behavior attributed structural transformation is depicted as red green lights. M...

This paper explores impact melt and vapor generation for a variety of impact speeds and materials using the shock physics code CTH. The study first compares the results of two common methods of impact melt and vapor generation to demonstrate that both the peak pressure method and final temperature method are appropriate for high-speed impact models (speeds greater than 10 km/s). However, for lo...

The system CaO-MgO-SiO2-CO2-H20 is an important model for many igneous and metamorphic processes, including the generation and differentiation of carbonatite and associated silicate magmas. We have experimentally established the vapor-saturated solidus for the system CaO-MgO-CO2-H20 from 595øC/1 kbar to <500øC/40 kbar, about 25øC lower than the corresponding temperatures for the CaOCO•-H•O syst...

We demonstrate highly efficient generation of coherent 420 nm light via up-conversion of near-infrared lasers in a hot rubidium vapor cell. By optimizing pump polarizations and frequencies we achieve a single-pass conversion efficiency of 260% per Watt, significantly higher than in previous experiments. A full exploration of the coherent light generation and fluorescence as a function of both p...

Including the transpiration of leaves, water evaporation from solar irradiation is a universal phenomenon in nature. Currently, vapor generation allows clean to be obtained various waterbodies. Since transported through porous structures and evaporates on their surfaces, properties nano-micro structure, especially surfaces are significantly important. For instance, surface energy, determined by...

MUC1 is a large, heavily glycosylated transmembrane glycoprotein that is proposed to create a protective microenvironment in many adenocarcinomas. Here we compare MUC1 and the well studied cell surface receptor target, EGFR, as gold nanoparticle (AuNP) targets and their subsequent vapor nanobubble generation efficacy in the human epithelial cell line, HES. Although EGFR and MUC1 were both highl...
