    Abstract The present study deals with the anomalous heat capacity peak and thermal conductivity of BaVS 3 near the metal-insulator transition present at 69 K. The transition is related to a structural transition from an orthorhombic to monoclinic phase. Heat capacity measurements at this temperature exhibit a significant and relatively broad peak, which is also sample dependent. The present study calculates the entropy increase during the structural transition and we show that the additional entropy is caused by enhanced electron scattering as a result of the structural reorientation of the nuclei. Within the model it is possible to explain quantitatively the observed peak alike structure in the heat capacity and in heat conductivity.

    Abstract Silicon carbide (SiC) is a very promising platform for quantum information processing, as it can host room temperature solid state defect quantum bits. These room temperature quantum bits are realized by paramagnetic silicon vacancy and divacancy defects in SiC that are typically introduced by irradiation techniques. However, irradiation techniques often introduce unwanted defects near the target quantum bit defects that can be detrimental for the operation of quantum bits. Here, we demonstrate that by adding aluminum precursor to the silicon and carbon sources, quantum bit defects are created in the synthesis of SiC without any post treatments. We optimized the synthesis parameters to maximize the paramagnetic defect concentrations-including already established defect quantum bits-monitored by electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

    Abstract DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects mismatched DNA bases arising from multiple sources including polymerase errors and base damage. By detecting spontaneous mutagenesis using whole genome sequencing of cultured MMR deficient human cell lines, we show that a primary role of MMR is the repair of oxygen-induced mismatches. We found an approximately twofold higher mutation rate in MSH6 deficient DLD-1 cells or MHL1 deficient HCT116 cells exposed to atmospheric conditions as opposed to mild hypoxia, which correlated with oxidant levels measured using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The oxygen-induced mutations were dominated by T to C base substitutions and single T deletions found primarily on the lagging strand. A broad sequence context preference, dependence on replication timing and a lack of transcriptional strand bias further suggested that oxygen-induced mutations arise from polymerase errors rather than oxidative base damage. We defined separate low and high oxygen-specific MMR deficiency mutation signatures common to the two cell lines and showed that the effect of oxygen is observable in MMR deficient cancer genomes, where it best correlates with the contribution of mutation signature SBS21. Our results imply that MMR corrects oxygen-induced genomic mismatches introduced by a replicative process in proliferating cells.

    Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (BP) represents one of the most appealing 2D materials due to its electronic, optical, and chemical properties. Many strategies have been pursued to face its environmental instability, covalent functionalization being one of the most promising. However, the extremely low functionalization degrees and the limitations in proving the nature of the covalent functionalization still represent challenges in many of these sheet architectures reported to date. Here we shine light on the structural evolution of 2D-BP upon the addition of electrophilic diazonium salts. We demonstrated the absence of covalent functionalization in both the neutral and the reductive routes, observing in the latter case an unexpected interface conversion of BP to red phosphorus (RP), as characterized by Raman,

    Abstract Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of 2D anionic materials exhibiting wide chemical versatility and promising applications in different fields, ranging from catalysis to energy storage and conversion. However, the covalent chemistry of this kind of 2D materials is still barely explored. Herein, the covalent functionalization with silanes of a magnetic NiFe-LDH is reported. The synthetic route consists of a topochemical approach followed by anion exchange reaction with surfactant molecules prior to covalent functionalization with the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) molecules. The functionalized NiFe-APTES was fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry and

    Abstract We investigate the critical line separating isotropic from polar phases in an amphiphilic bulk fluid by means of density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble. The intermolecular interactions are described by a Lennard-Jones potential in which the attractive contribution is modified by an orientation-dependent function. The latter consists of two terms: The first one has the orientation dependence of a classical three-dimensional Heisenberg interaction, whereas, the second one has the orientation dependence of a classical dipole-dipole interaction. However, both contributions are short range. Employing DFT together with a modified mean-field (MMF) approximation for the orientation-dependent pair correlation function, we derive an analytical expression for the critical line separating isotropic from polar liquidlike phases. In parallel MC simulations, we locate the line of critical points through an analysis of Binder's second-order cumulant of the polar-order parameter. Comparison with DFT shows that the dipolelike contribution is irrelevant for the isotropic-polar phase transition. As far as the Heisenberg contribution is concerned, the MC data are in semiquantitative agreement with the DFT predictions for sufficiently strong coupling between molecular orientations. For weaker coupling, the variation in the ratio of critical density and temperature ρ(c)/T(c) with the Heisenberg coupling constant ε(H) is underestimated by the MMF treatment. The MC results suggest that this is because ρ(c) increases with decreasing ε(H) such that the assumption on which the MMF approach rests becomes less applicable in the weaker-coupling limit.

    Abstract An efficient route to synthesize macroscopic amounts of graphene is highly desired and bulk characterization of such samples, in terms of the number of layers, is equally important. We present a Raman spectroscopy-based method to determine the typical upper limit of the number of graphene layers in chemically exfoliated graphene. We utilize a controlled vapour-phase potassium intercalation technique and identify a lightly doped stage, where the Raman modes of undoped and doped few-layer graphene flakes coexist. The spectra can be unambiguously distinguished from alkali doped graphite, and modeling with the typical upper limit of the layers yields an upper limit of flake thickness of five layers with a significant single-layer graphene content. Complementary statistical AFM measurements on individual few-layer graphene flakes find a consistent distribution of the layer numbers.
