Enhanced Photoluminescence Emission Intensity and Stability of Deep Blue-Emissive (Et 3 Nh)pbbr 3 Perovskite Nanocrystals by Using Metal-Organic Frameworks
No full textNaghipour, Ali/0000-0003-4151-9178; Sahraei, Reza/0000-0001-7104-2126; Soheyli, Ehsan/0000-0002-1403-7934The primary obstacle faced by researchers in the field of luminescent metal-halide perovskites is their inherent instability, prompting a shift in focus towards enhancing the stability of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). One of the promising approaches to address this challenge involves the utilization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to fabricate PNCs@MOF composites. The present study reports a facile and low-cost colloidal strategy to prepare (Et3NH)PbBr3 PNCs followed by their encapsulation within UiO-67 to enhance their photoluminescence (PL) emission stability. The PNCs and modified UiO-67 were prepared separately via simple and efficient ligandassisted reprecipitation (LARP) and hydrothermal methods, respectively. After modification of the UiO-67, the pore sizes experienced a substantial increase from 1.90 to 28.84 nm which significantly facilitated the localization of PNCs within the porous matrix. Under a full survey of experimental conditions, the resulting (Et3NH) PbBr3@UiO-67 composite exhibited a bright deep-blue emission at around 410 nm with an emission quantum yield of 52 %. The emission durability of the fabricated PNCs@MOF composites was assessed against temperature and long-time of storage, confirming the superior advantages of MOF even at elevated temperatures of up to 100 degrees C. The stable and luminous deep-blue emission displayed by the PNCs@MOF composites in this investigation, offers a promising advancement in materials development for optoelectronic applications.Ilam UniversityThe authors would like to acknowledge Ilam University for its financial support
Designed Optimization of Photoluminescence Emission for Carbon Dots With Bright Blue Emission at 416 NM and Mono-Exponential Decay Lifetime
No full textSoheyli, Ehsan/0000-0002-1403-7934; Sahraei, Reza/0000-0001-7104-2126The presented study introduces optimized blue-emissive carbon dots (CDs) with high photoluminescence efficiency up to 65 % at 416 nm, large Stokes shift (69 nm), and full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 73 nm. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of carbon-based bonds as the main component of CDs, with reliable amounts of O, S, and N as dopant components. These features, along with single-exponential time-decay profile at long average lifetime of 10.05 ns, supported the significant role of uniformly distributed mid-gap energy levels in the recombination process. The simplicity, low-cost, non-toxicity, and short reaction time of CDs, along with their excellent emission properties in the deep-blue region, make them suitable for use in environmental monitoring and high-contrast bioimaging.Iran National Science Foundation (INSF) [4013040]The E.S. and R.S. would like to acknowledge funding support received from the Iran National Science Foundation (INSF) with the Grant Number of 4013040
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Rational Design of Chemical Bath Deposition Technique for Successful Preparation of Mn-Doped CdS Nanostructured Thin Films With Controlled Optical Properties
No full textMutlugun, Evren/0000-0003-3715-5594; Sahraei, Reza/0000-0001-7104-2126; Ghavidel, Elham/0009-0001-6469-692X; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk/0000-0003-2747-7856; Soheyli, Ehsan/0000-0002-1403-7934The introduction of a rational design for depositing internally-doped nanostructured thin films is of great importance for optoelectronics. In this presented work, Mn-doped CdS thin films with high purity in composition were prepared through the chemical bath deposition technique using a nucleation-doping strategy. This work focuses on an improved chemical design to eliminate mostly ignored property of conventionally doped nanoscale thin films. The synthesis strategy was initiated by the initial formation of MnS nuclei in a colloidal depositing solution followed by injection of cadmium precursor to diffuse into the initial nuclei and play the role of host CdS matrix which was the beginning of the deposition process. Upon optimization of the PL-emission, it was revealed that relative intensity of Mn2+-related peak to the excitonic peak has significantly increased (similar to 100 times) in 80 degrees C, pH = 6, and precursor molar ratio of Cd:Mn:EDTA:S equal to 1:3:0.4:5, at deposition time of 300-min. The TRPL measurements further revealed the effective contribution of Mn-related midgap states with long-lived decay curve character, which confirms the success of the designed approach to reach internally doped thin films. It was found that the deposition temperature, amount of Cd/Mn/TA precursors, and deposition time are the most important experimental parameters in the proposed synthesis approach. Due to the versatility, generality, and colloidal advantages of this method, it can be extended to the other structures with various types of dopant agent
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
