    Abstract We report on the measurement of the ^{7}Be(n,p)^{7}Li cross section from thermal to approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area (EAR2) of the n_TOF facility at CERN. This reaction plays a key role in the lithium yield of the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) for standard cosmology. The only two previous time-of-flight measurements performed on this reaction did not cover the energy window of interest for BBN, and they showed a large discrepancy between each other. The measurement was performed with a Si telescope and a high-purity sample produced by implantation of a ^{7}Be ion beam at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. While a significantly higher cross section is found at low energy, relative to current evaluations, in the region of BBN interest, the present results are consistent with the values inferred from the time-reversal ^{7}Li(p,n)^{7}Be reaction, thus yielding only a relatively minor improvement on the so-called cosmological lithium problem. The relevance of these results on the near-threshold neutron production in the p+^{7}Li reaction is also discussed.

    Abstract Biogeochemical cycles in the ocean are strongly affected by the elemental stoichiometry (C:N:P) of phytoplankton, which largely reflects their macromolecular content. A greater understanding of how this macromolecular content varies among phytoplankton taxa and with resource limitation may strengthen physiological and biogeochemical modeling efforts. We determined the macromolecular basis (protein, carbohydrate, lipid, nucleic acids, pigments) of C:N:P in diatoms and prasinophytes, two globally important phytoplankton taxa, in response to N starvation. Despite their differing cell sizes and evolutionary histories, the relative decline in protein during N starvation was similar in all four species studied and largely determined variations in N content. The accumulation of carbohydrate and lipid dominated the increase in C content and C:N in all species during N starvation, but these processes differed greatly between diatoms and prasinophytes. Diatoms displayed far greater accumulation of carbohydrate with N starvation, possibly due to their greater cell size and storage capacity, resulting in larger increases in C content and C:N. In contrast, the prasinophytes had smaller increases in C and C:N that were largely driven by lipid accumulation. Variation in C:P and N:P was species-specific and mainly determined by residual P pools, which likely represent intracellular storage of inorganic P and accounted for the majority of cellular P in all species throughout N starvation. Our findings indicate that carbohydrate and lipid accumulation may play a key role in determining the environmental and taxonomic variability in phytoplankton C:N. This quantitative assessment of macromolecular and elemental content spanning several marine phytoplankton species can be used to develop physiological models for ecological and biogeochemical applications.

    Abstract The cycling of soil organic matter (SOM) and carbon (C) within the soil is governed by the presence of key macronutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The relative ratio of these nutrients has a direct effect on the potential rates of microbial growth and nutrient processing in soil and thus is fundamental to ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of changing soil nutrient stoichiometry on the small organic molecule (i.e., metabolite) composition and cycling by the microbial community remains poorly understood. Here, we aimed to disentangle the effect of stoichiometrically balanced nutrient addition on the soil metabolomic profile and apparent microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) by adding a labile C source (glucose) in combination with N and/or P. After incorporation of the added glucose into the microbial biomass (48 h), metabolite profiling was undertaken by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). 494 metabolites were identified across all treatments mainly consisting of lipids (n = 199), amino acids (n = 118) and carbohydrates (n = 43), >97% of which showed significant changes in concentration between at least one treatment. Overall, glucose-C addition generally increased the synthesis of other carbohydrates in soil, while addition of C and N together increased peptide synthesis, indicative of protein formation and turnover. The combination of C and P significantly increased the number of fatty acids synthesised. There was no significant change in the PLFA-derived microbial community structure or microbial biomass following C, N and P addition. Further, N addition led to an increase in glucose-C partitioning into anabolic processes (i.e., increased CUE), suggesting the microbial community was N, but not P limited. Based on the metabolomic profiles observed here, we conclude that inorganic nutrient enrichment causes substantial shifts in both primary and secondary metabolism within the microbial community, leading to changes in resource flow and thus soil functioning, however, the microbial community illustrated significant metabolic flexibility.

    Abstract The p-i-n structure for perovskite solar cells has recently shown significant advantages in minimal hysteresis effects, and scalable manufacturing potential using low-temperature solution processing. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite p-i-n structure remains low mainly due to limitations using a flat electron transport layer (ETL). In this work, we demonstrate a new approach using spray coating to fabricate the [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) ETL. By creating a rough surface, we effectively improve the light trapping properties inside the PCBM ETL. We reveal that the spray coated PCBM can form a cross-linked network, which may facilitate better charge transport and enhance extraction efficiency. By improving the contact between the perovskite film and the PCBM ETL, a reduction in the trap states is observed resulting in a PCE increase from 13% to >17%.

    Abstract A quantum-dot (QD) p-i-n heterojunction solar cell with an increased depletion region is demonstrated by depleting the QD layer from both the front and back junctions. Due to a combination of improved charged extraction and increased light absorption, a 120% increase in the short-circuit current is achieved compared with that of conventional ZnO/QD devices.

    Abstract The methanolysis and ethanolysis of the Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II) complexes of N,N-bis(2-picolyl)-p-nitrobenzamide (1) and N,N-bis((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)-p-nitrobenzamide (2) were studied under pH-controlled conditions at 25 °C. Details of the mechanism were obtained from plots of the kobs values for the reaction under pseudo-first-order conditions as a function of [M2+]. Such plots give saturation kinetics for the Cu(II)-promoted reactions of 1 and 2 in both solvents, the Zn(II)-promoted reaction of 1 in methanol, and the Zn(II)- and Ni(II)-promoted reactions of 2 in methanol and ethanol. Logs of the maximal observed rate constants obtained from the latter plots, (kobs(max)), when plotted versus s(s)pH, are curved downward only for the Cu(II) complexes of 1 and 2 in both solvents and the Zn(II) complex of 1 in methanol. Despite differences in the metal-binding abilities and pKa values for formation of the active form, there is a common reaction mechanism, with the active form being 1:M(II):(–OR) and 2:M(II):(–OR), where M(II):(–OR) is the metal-bound alkoxide. The acceleration provided by the metal ion is substantial, being 10(14)–10(19) relative to the k2(¯OMe) value for the alkoxide-promoted alcoholysis of the uncomplexed amide.

    Abstract The aminophosphane ligand 1-amino-2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane [Ph2P(CH2)2NH2] reacts with dichloridotris(triphenylphosphane)ruthenium(II), [RuCl2(PPh3)3], to form chloridobis[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethanamine-κ(2)P,N](triphenylphosphane-κP)ruthenium(II) chloride toluene monosolvate, [RuCl(C18H15P)(C14H16NP)2]Cl·C7H8 or [RuCl(PPh3){Ph2P(CH2)2NH2}2]Cl·C7H8. The asymmetric unit of the monoclinic unit cell contains two molecules of the Ru(II) cation, two chloride anions and two toluene molecules. The Ru(II) cation is octahedrally coordinated by two chelating Ph2P(CH2)2NH2 ligands, a triphenylphosphane (PPh3) ligand and a chloride ligand. The three P atoms are meridionally coordinated, with the Ph2P- groups from the ligands being trans. The two -NH2 groups are cis, as are the chloride and PPh3 ligands. This chiral stereochemistry of the [RuCl(PPh3){Ph2P(CH2)2NH2}2](+) cation is unique in ruthenium-aminophosphane chemistry.

    Abstract We report the first measurement using a solid polarized target of the neutron electric form factor G(n)(E) via d-->(e-->,e(')n)p. G(n)(E) was determined from the beam-target asymmetry in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from polarized deuterated ammonia ( 15ND3). The measurement was performed in Hall C at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in quasifree kinematics with the target polarization perpendicular to the momentum transfer. The electrons were detected in a magnetic spectrometer in coincidence with neutrons in a large solid angle segmented detector. We find G(n)(E) = 0.04632+/-0.00616(stat)+/-0.00341(syst) at Q2 = 0.495 (GeV/c)(2).
