methodology and the research value of numismatic sources
Swelling of asymmetric pom-pom polymers in dilute solutions
No full textIn this paper we continue our recent analysis [K. Haydukivska et al., J. Mol. Liq., 2021, 328, 115456] of complex
molecules with two branching points at both ends of the linear backbone with 1 and 2 side arms starting
from them, known as the pom-pom polymers. Here, we analyze the asymmetric case, 1 ≠ 2, by applying both
the analytical approach, based on the direct polymer renormalization, and computer simulations using both
dissipative particle dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. We study the role played by the molecular asymmetry
of average polymer conformations, considering the infinite dilution regime and good solvent conditions.The
quantitative estimates are reported for the set of universal size and shape characteristics of such molecules and for their individual branches, all the functions of 1 and 2. In particular, we evaluate the size ratio of the gyration radii of symmetric and asymmetric pom-pom topologies with the same molecular weight and quantitatively reveal an increase of the effective size of a molecule caused by its asymmetry. We also introduce and analyse the asymmetry factor and estimate the shift of the center of mass caused by the presence of side stars, which can serve as another characteristic of the asymmetry of pom-pom structure
Synthesis and Characterization of New Conjugated Azomethines End-Capped with Amino-thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylic Acid Diethyl Ester
No full textA new series of thiophene-based azomethines differing in the core structure was synthesized. The effect of the central core structure in azomethines on the thermal, optical and electrochemical properties was investigated. The obtained compounds exhibited the ability to form a stable amorphous phase with a high glass transition temperature above 100 °C. They were electrochemically active and undergo oxidation and reduction processes. The highest occupied (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular (LUMO) orbitals were in the range of −3.86–−3.60 eV and −5.46–−5.17 eV, respectively, resulting in a very low energy band gap below 1.7 eV. Optical investigations were performed in the solvents with various polarity and in the solid state as a thin film deposited on a glass substrate. The synthesized imines absorbed radiation from 350 to 600 nm, depending on its structure and showed weak emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield below 2.5%. The photophysical investigations were supported by theoretical calculations using the density functional theory. The synthesized imines doped with lithium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide were examined as hole transporting materials (HTM) in hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite solar cells. It was found that both a volume of lithium salt and core imine structure significantly impact device performance. The best power conversion efficiency (PCE), being about 35–63% higher compared to other devices, exhibited cells based on the imine containing a core tiphenylamine unit
O Polakach i Słoweńcach – w kręgu językowo-kulturowych stereotypów
No full textThe monograph is focused on the ethnolinguistic description of the perception of a Pole (Poles) and Slovene (Slovenes) which can be reconstructed on the basis of the data collected from the statements of the respondents from both Poland and Slovenia. The research aims at capturing the “common”, “everyday” understanding of the perceptions of the representatives of both nations. We observe the two national and ethnic communities which the research is interested in – Polish and Slovenian – through the prism of their languages. This is because language is the most important tool for transmitting culture, which influences the shaping of the perceived image of the world within a given culture; language serves not only for naming, but also for appropriate classification and interpretation of extra-linguistic reality. One of the functions of any natural language is to convey stereotypes common to a given group and its culture. The way our research tackles the focal issue places it within the scope of broadly understood ethnolinguistic studies related to the linguistic image of the world. This approach tries to reconstruct the stereotypical linguo-cultural image of a Pole (Poles) and Slovene (Slovenes), including appropriately valued obligatory and relevant features, as well as contextually dependent elements.
The issues of national and ethnic stereotypes have been of interest to researchers of many disciplines for years. A great deal has been written about the stereotypical perception of a Pole, including in a linguistic context, similarly, a number of research papers have dealt with the stereotypical perception of various Slavs (and other nations). Moreover, there is no shortage of works that fit into the (stereo)typical approach to researching Slovenian people and their way of living. Yet there are almost no papers dealing with the mutual stereotypical images of Slovenes and Poles (especially with a linguistic inclination). For our research, the comparison of both models (that of Poles and that of Slovenes) – showing the mutual perception of each other in both nations – is particularly important. Therefore, this monograph attempts to at least partially fill this gap. It has been created on the basis of our previous experiences, partly included in the framework of this study, representing both their synthesis and in-depth analysis in a special way – the results from previous studies have been supplemented, recalculated and interpreted anew.
The monograph is lexicocentric in its approach as it emphasizes the surplus of connotations and the sender’s intention that determines an adequate point of view. The book consists of seven chapters and a summary that concludes the work. Chapter I represents a fundamental introduction to the subject of the thesis: it presents considerations in the field of stereotype theory, including the linguistic approach, briefly discusses the research tools adopted, the main assumptions and purpose of the work, the material basis and methodology used to analyse linguistic data (with an emphasis on questionnaires as a research method). Next, it characterizes the method of research and shows the preliminary division of the material into semantic categories
(i.e. definition, appearance, character, free time, attitude to money), which serves as the basis for the reconstruction of selected fragments of the stereotypical image of a Pole and a Slovene in chapters II–VI. The indicated chapters constitute an essential part of the work – in them, specific descriptor features and their semantic classes are distinguished in search of an answer to the following questions: What exactly do the
respondents have in mind when describing a (male/female) Pole, a (male/female) Slovene, their appearance, character, behaviour and attitudes? And how do they conceptualize their way of spending free time and attitude to money. In the reconstruction all excerpts obtained from the material (including those only registered once)
are considered valuable – and therefore included. Chapter VII represents a specific complement to the reconstructed concept of representatives of both nations, and at the same time its verification. It contains a brief approximation of the results of our other surveys – focusing on the conceptualization of a “true” Pole/Slovene. The modifier “true” places the analysis directly within the EUROJOS (European linguistic
worldview) research methodology. The said operator includes both typical elements and representative patterns. The summary concluding the monograph collects the obtained results: it features a brief overview of the reconstruction of the collective, culturally and linguistically diverse image/images of a Pole and a Slovene, showing their respective specificities. Stereotypes are known for their tendency towards an intersubjective simplification, and as such cannot be treated as an objective source of knowledge about oneself
and others. It is, however, important to be aware both of their existence and mechanisms
of functioning. The respondents proved to be well aware of the dangers of easy
labelling – considering it too simplistic. Schematic judgments, while culturally stabilized
in some way, can be subject to change. One needs to know stereotypes, including
ethnic stereotypes, and be aware of their emotional value in order to better understand
oneself and others. By drawing on positive opinions and undermining negative
mental structures, it becomes possible to create bridges rather than barriers
Prediction of the speed of sound in ionic liquids as a function of pressure
No full textIn this work, we demonstrate the possibility of calculating the speed of sound of Ionic Liquids as a function of temperature and pressure using the fluctuation-based approach. The density, speed of sound, and heat capacity at atmospheric pressure are used for the calculations. The collected experimental data from the ILThermo database were used as input. The high-pressure speed of sound for nine ionic liquids was used to compare and analyze. Using the proposed method, the relative average absolute deviation is close to 0.85%
First-principles insights into the spin-valley physics of strained transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers
No full textTransition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are ideal candidates to explore the manifestation of
spin-valley physics under external stimuli. In this study, we investigate the influence of strain on
the spin and orbital angular momenta, effective g-factors, and Berry curvatures of several
monolayer TMDCs (Mo andWbased) using a full ab initio approach. At the K-valleys, we find a
surprising decrease of the conduction band spin expectation value for compressive strain,
consequently increasing the dipole strength of the dark exciton by more than one order of
magnitude (for ∼1%–2% strain variation).We also predict the behavior of direct excitons
g-factors under strain: tensile (compressive) strain increases (decreases) the absolute value of
g-factors. Strain variations of ∼1% modify the bright (A and B) excitons g-factors by ∼0.3(0.2)
forW(Mo) based compounds and the dark exciton g-factors by ∼0.5 (0.3) forW (Mo)
compounds. Our predictions could be directly visualized in magneto-optical experiments in
strained samples at low temperature. Additionally, our calculations strongly suggest that strain
effects are one of the possible causes of g-factor fluctuations observed experimentally. By
comparing the different TMDC compounds, we reveal the role of spin–orbit coupling (SOC): the
stronger the SOC, the more sensitive are the spin-valley features under applied strain.
Consequently, monolayerWSe2 is a formidable candidate to explore the role of strain on the
spin-valley physics.We complete our analysis by considering the side valleys, Γ and Q points, and
by investigating the influence of strain in the Berry curvature. In the broader context of valley- and
strain-tronics, our study provides fundamental microscopic insights into the role of strain in the
spin-valley physics of TMDCs, which are relevant to interpret experimental data in monolayer
TMDCs as well as TMDC-based van der Waals heterostructures
Near-IR Luminescence of Rare-Earth Ions (Er3+, Pr3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) in Titanate-Germanate Glasses under Excitation of Yb3+
No full textInorganic glasses co-doped with rare-earth ions have a key potential application value in the field of optical communications. In this paper, we have fabricated and then characterized multicomponent TiO2-modified germanate glasses co-doped with Yb3+/Ln3+ (Ln = Pr, Er, Tm, Ho) with excellent spectroscopic properties. Glass systems were directly excited at 980 nm (the 2F7/2 → 2F5/2 transition of Yb3+). We demonstrated that the introduction of TiO2 is a promising option to significantly enhance the main near-infrared luminescence bands located at the optical telecommunication window at 1.3 μm (Pr3+: 1G4 → 3H5), 1.5 μm (Er3+: 4I13/2 → 4I15/2), 1.8 μm (Tm3+: 3F4 → 3H6) and 2.0 μm (Ho3+: 5I7 → 7I8). Based on the lifetime values, the energy transfer efficiencies (ηET) were estimated. The values of ηET are changed from 31% for Yb3+/Ho3+ glass to nearly 53% for Yb3+/Pr3+ glass. The investigations show that obtained titanate–germanate glass is an interesting type of special glasses integrating luminescence properties and spectroscopic parameters, which may be a promising candidate for application in laser sources emitting radiation and broadband tunable amplifiers operating in the near-infrared range
Luminescence of SiO2-BaF2:Tb3+, Eu3+ nano-glass-ceramics made from sol-gel method at low temperature
Get PDFThe synthesis and characterization of multicolor light-emitting nanomaterials based on rare
earths (RE3+) are of great importance due to their possible use in optoelectronic devices, such as LEDs
or displays. In the present work, oxyfluoride glass-ceramics containing BaF2 nanocrystals co-doped
with Tb3+, Eu3+ ions were fabricated from amorphous xerogels at 350 C. The analysis of the thermal
behavior of fabricated xerogels was performed using TG/DSC measurements (thermogravimetry
(TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)). The crystallization of BaF2 phase at the nanoscale was
confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM),
and the changes in silicate sol–gel host were determined by attenuated total reflectance infrared
(ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The luminescent characterization of prepared sol–gel materials was carried
out by excitation and emission spectra along with decay analysis from the 5D4 level of Tb3+. As
a result, the visible light according to the electronic transitions of Tb3+ (5D4 ! 7FJ (J = 6–3)) and
Eu3+ (5D0 ! 7FJ (J = 0–4)) was recorded. It was also observed that co-doping with Eu3+ caused the
shortening in decay times of the 5D4 state from 1.11 ms to 0.88 ms (for xerogels) and from 6.56 ms
to 4.06 ms (for glass-ceramics). Thus, based on lifetime values, the Tb3+/Eu3+ energy transfer (ET)
efficiencies were estimated to be almost 21% for xerogels and 38% for nano-glass-ceramics. Therefore,
such materials could be successfully predisposed for laser technologies, spectral converters, and
three-dimensional displays
Histories of Neutrino Oscillation of Consistency Induced by the Presence of Normal Matter
Get PDFOscillation of two-flavour neutrinos is considered within a quantum mechanical framework
of consistent (decoherent) dynamic histories. We investigate how consistency of selected three-time
histories is affected by oscillation parameters. We show that the presence of normal matter is crucial
to maintain consistency of certain classes of neutrinos’ dynamic histories and that the consistency
does not depend on a Majorana phase and remains insensitive to a potential CP violation
