A systematic conceptual study of the properties of tin oxide nanoclusters SnnOm (n = 1–6; 2n+1 ≤ m ≤ 4n+2) with ozonide ion or mixed ozonide with molecular O20, oxide (O2−), peroxide (O−) or superoxide (O2−) was investigated using the ab initio density functional theory perspective. Bader charge calculations revealed the oxidation state of Sn and e...

BackgroundThe WHO recommends that individuals exposed to persons with multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) should be screened for active TB and followed up for 2 years to detect and treat secondary cases early. Resource prioritisation means this is rarely undertaken and where it is performed it’s usually using a paper-based record, without coll...

Good thermoelectric performance is being sought to face major problems related to energy, especially in the concern of the usage of energy on environmental impact. In this work, we investigate the underlying mechanism to enhance the thermoelectric performance of bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) by employing density functional theory (DFT) followed by the ...

Background Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a widely used treatment for depression. However, limited resource availability poses several barriers to patients seeking access to care, including lengthy wait times and geographical limitations. This has prompted health care services to introduce electronically delivered CBT (eCBT) to facilitate a...

Huge attention has been shifted to thermoelectric properties of half-Heusler compounds because of the ability of these compounds to convert heat into electricity. The calculations of thermoelectric properties of these compounds are necessitated by the search for alternatives to fossil fuel. This report presents ab initio calculations of electronic ...

Non-stoichiometric ZnS nanomaterials were prepared using a thermolysis procedure by decreasing the stoichiometric amount of thiourea relative to the amount of zinc acetate as starting precursors: Zn(Ac)/(1−x) thiourea (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5). The high-resolution transmission electron microscope revealed the nanonature of the obtained sam...

Recent photoelectron spectroscopy and computational studies have shown that boron ring–centered transition metal–doped inverse sandwich complexes prefer planar or quasi-planar structures which could be a potential building blocks for designing better nanosystems with tailored properties. Due to promising technological applications of different boro...

Retina nociceptor, as a key sensory receptor, not only enables the transport of warning signals to the human central nervous system upon its exposure to noxious stimuli, but also triggers the motor response that minimizes potential sensitization. In this study, the capability of two-dimensional all-oxide-heterostructured artificial nociceptor as a ...
