Assessing the importance of nitric acid and ammonia for particle growth in the polluted boundary layer

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Houssni Lamkaddam

Aerosols formed and grown by gas-to-particle processes are a major contributor to smog and haze in megacities, despite the competition between growth and loss rates. Rapid growth rates from ammonium nitrate formation have the potential to sustain particle ...

Supramolecular interactions using β-cyclodextrin in controlling perovskite solar cell performance

Kevin Sivula, Jun Ho Yum, Parnian Ferdowsi, Jiyoun Seo

In the context of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), enhancing device performance often involves adding a small excess of lead iodide (PbI2) to the precursor solution. However, the presence of unreacted PbI2 can lead to accelerated degradation compromising lon ...

The molecular scale mechanism of deposition ice nucleation on silver iodide

Athanasios Nenes, Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas, André Welti

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is a ubiquitous process in the natural and built environment. Deposition ice nucleation, i.e. heterogeneous ice nucleation that - according to the traditional view - occurs in a subsaturated water vapor environment and in the a ...

Monolithic InSb nanostructure photodetectors on Si using rapid melt growth

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Heera Menon

Monolithic integration of InSb on Si could be a key enabler for future electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this work, we report the fabrication of InSb metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors directly on Si using a CMOS-compatible process known ...

Investigating the Effect of Crystal Morphology on Optoelectronic Properties of Zinc Phosphide Thin Films via Optical-pump Terahertz Probe Spectroscopy

Elias Zsolt Stutz, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall, Rajrupa Paul, Mirjana Dimitrievska, Léa Buswell

Zinc phosphide ( Zn3P2) is a promising earth-abundant material for solar cell applications but calls for the further understanding of its optoelectronic properties. In this work, we perform contact-free and noninvasive optical-pump terahertz probe (OPTP) s ...

Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Mihnea Surdu, Lubna Dada, André Welti, Houssni Lamkaddam

The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid ...

Surface Chemistry Dictates the Enhancement of Luminescence and Stability of InP QDs upon c-ALD ZnO Hybrid Shell Growth

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Ona Segura Lecina, Petru Pasquale Albertini, Philippe Benjamin Green, Jari Leemans, Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Mark Adrian Newton

Indium phosphide quantum dots (InP QDs) are a promising example of Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS)-compliant light-emitting materials. However, they suffer from low quantum yield and instability upon processing under ambient conditions ...

Microfluidic study in a meter-long reactive path reveals how the medium’s structural heterogeneity shapes MICP-induced biocementation

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Ariadni Elmaloglou

Microbially induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP) is one of the major sustainable alternatives to the artificial cementation of granular media. MICP consists of injecting the soil with bacterial- and calcium-rich solutions sequentially to ...

Site-selective overgrowth of Ag nanocrystals by Polyvinylpyrrolidone-mediated atom deposition by Ostwald ripening

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Alejandro Lapresta Fernandez

The growth modulation of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by Ostwald ripening (OR) involves control of the relocation of matter by diffusional mass transfer from the dissolution of small nanocrystals (SNCs) towards large nanocrystals whose surface energy is lower. ...
