Abstract

The effect of luminescent enhancement under exchange of the auxiliary ligand in Europium(III) tris(1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato) monohydrate was investigated by steady-state and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. The excited state relaxation dynamics of this complex was analyzed through a comparison of the experimental data obtained for several model compounds, namely Eu(DBM)3.NH3, Eu(DBM)3.EDA, Eu(DBM)3.Phen, Al(DBM)3 and dibenzoyl methane (DBM) in various solutions and polymer matrices. The results show there is no linear relationship between enhancement of the emission quantum yield and the luminescent lifetime, which suggests that the auxiliary ligand reduces the rate of nonradiative relaxation of the lanthanide ion, but also affects the excited state energy transfer from ligand to metal ion. Transient absorption data shows a clear correlation between the efficiency of the energy transfer and the degree of triplet state population expressed by an amplification of the signal for its excited state absorption band on going from Eu(DBM)3.H2O to the Eu(DBM).L complex. The results show that this auxiliary ligand exchange acts as a switch turning the intersystem crossing on or off as a competitive pathway for excited state relaxation of the europium(III) complexes.

Intrinsic Matching Frustration in Fluctuating Finite Systems

We formulate intrinsic matching frustration (IMF), a fluctuation-induced, kinetics-independent reduction in the mean capacity permitted by a prescribed matching rule. For complementary one-to-one matching, the instantaneous capacity is set by the minority population, so fluctuations produce a nonzero mean deficit even when the two populations are balanced on average. At finite size, this deficit depends on the full distribution of the population difference and is determined by its variance alone only in the Gaussian limit. Compartmentalization hides matching capacity by preventing cancellation between local imbalances of opposite sign. Fusion releases this hidden capacity monotonically under coarse graining, producing a measurable recovery of product yield following local reaction to completion.

Phonon chirality as an additive control of CISS: a symmetry-protected law

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is usually associated with molecular handedness. The possible contribution of chiral phonons is less established. We study a helical tight-binding model in which local phonon angular momentum modulates spin-dependent nearest-neighbor hopping. Fewest-switches surface hopping calculations give the transmitted spin polarization $\mathrm{SP}=aC+b\mathrm{PH}$. Here $C$ is the molecular chirality and $\mathrm{PH}$ is the phonon chirality. A mirror symmetry reverses $C$, $\mathrm{PH}$, and $\mathrm{SP}$ simultaneously. This symmetry excludes both a chirality-independent offset and a $C\cdot\mathrm{PH}$ term. The phonon contribution can therefore enhance, cancel, or reverse the molecular CISS signal.

A fast physics-based matrix model for the impedance of a PEM fuel cell: Incorporating functionally graded catalyst layer and channel impedances

We extend a recent physics-based matrix model for calculating PEM fuel cell impedance (doi:10.1149/2754-2734/ad6ce8) to cases of low air flow stoichiometry and functionally graded cathode catalyst layers (CCLs). We demonstrate that the matrix model produces accurate spectra and is almost three orders of magnitude faster than a model based on the standard boundary-value problem solver. The physics-based matrix model can compete with equivalent circuit models for fitting experimental EIS spectra, particularly those measured from cells with functionally graded CCL.
