Biomass burning emissions often contain brown carbon (BrC), which represents a large family of light-absorbing organics that are chemically complex, thus making it difficult to estimate their absorption of incoming solar radiation, resulting in large uncer ...
This work reports experimental results of the quantitative determination of oxygen and band gap measurement in the TiNx electrodes in planar TiNx top/La:HfO2/TiNx bottom MIM stacks obtained by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition on SiO2. Methodological ...
Understanding chemical processes leading to the formation of atmospheric aerosol particles is crucial to improve our capabilities in predicting the future climate. However, those mechanisms are still inadequately characterized, especially in polar regions. ...
This paper provides accurate analytic models for a computationally efficient estimation of the natural con- vection cooling coefficients for typical geometries, such as those encountered in transformers. Proper thermal coordination is an essential step of ...
Organic radicals are highly active species that can undergo various transformations. Electrochemistry and photochemistry are efficient methods for the generation of these species of high energy, through single electron transfer processes under mild conditi ...
Lead adulteration of spices, primarily via Pb chromate compounds, has been documented globally as a growing public health concern. Currently, Pb detection in spices relies primarily on expensive and time-consuming laboratory analyses. Advancing rapid Pb de ...
Electronic nearsightedness is one of the fundamental principles that governs the behavior of condensed matter and supports its description in terms of local entities such as chemical bonds. Locality also underlies the tremendous success of machine-learning ...
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has the potential to mitigate the rising CO2 levels while storing renewable energy in chemical bonds. Copper is the only single metal electrocatalyst producing high energy dense hydrocarbons, albeit into 1 ...
Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms involved increases, the number of pathways, transition states and product chann ...
