Solid Solutions of Rare Earth Cations in Mesoporous Anatase Beads and Their Performances in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Sci. Rep. 5 , 16785, (2015)

Solid solutions of the rare earth (RE) cations Pr(3+), Nd(3+), Sm(3+), Gd(3+), Er(3+) and Yb(3+) in anatase TiO2 have been synthesized as mesoporous beads in the concentration range 0.1-0.3% of metal atoms. The solid solutions were have been characterized by ...

Analysis of gadolinium-based contrast agents in tap water with a new hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ZIC-cHILIC) hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 407(9) , 2415-22, (2015)

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were optimised for the direct determination of gadolinium-based contrast agents in tap water. In comparison to our previous work, a new developed...

A composite double-/single-stranded RNA-binding region in protein Prp3 supports tri-snRNP stability and splicing.

Elife 4 , e07320, (2015)

Prp3 is an essential U4/U6 di-snRNP-associated protein whose functions and molecular mechanisms in pre-mRNA splicing are presently poorly understood. We show by structural and biochemical analyses that Prp3 contains a bipartite U4/U6 di-snRNA-binding region c...

Selective recognition of Pr3+ based on fluorescence enhancement sensor.

Mater. Sci. Eng. C. Mater. Biol. Appl. 33(7) , 4140-3, (2013)

(E)-2-(1-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (L) has been used to detect trace amounts of praseodymium ion in acetonitrile-water solution (MeCN/H2O) by fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescent probe undergoes fluorescent emis...

Pr3+/Yb3+ co-doped beta-phase NaYF4 microprisms: controlled synthesis and upconversion luminescence.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 14(6) , 4308-12, (2014)

Pr3+/Yb3+ co-doped hexagonal NaYF4(beta-NaYF4) microprisms were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was introduced to control the size of the microcrystal samples. Bright upconverted fluorescence emission was obs...

Spectroscopic investigations on Pr³+ and Nd³+ doped strontium-lithium-bismuth borate glasses.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 97 , 963-74, (2012)

Spectroscopic investigations on different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mol%) of Pr(3+) and Nd(3+) doped strontium lithium bismuth borate glasses have been done. X-ray diffraction, SEM with EDS, absorption and luminescence spectra were recorded fo...

Anomalous Schottky specific heat and structural distortion in ferromagnetic PrAl2.

Phys. Rev. Lett. 110(18) , 186405, (2013)

Unique from other rare earth dialuminides, PrAl(2) undergoes a cubic to tetragonal distortion below T = 30 K in a zero magnetic field, but the system recovers its cubic symmetry upon the application of an external magnetic field of 10 kOe via a lifting of the...

Spectroscopic properties and upconversion in Pr3+:YF3 nanoparticles.

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13(39) , 17453-60, (2011)

The synthesis and spectroscopic investigation of Pr(3+):YF(3) nanoparticles with nominal concentration between 0.05% and 5 at% Pr(3+) are reported. Pr(3+) emission in the visible range of the spectrum is investigated at room temperature and at 10 K as well as...

Analysis of structural and electronic properties of Pr2NiO4 through first-principles calculations.

J. Phys. Condens. Matter 24(40) , 405504, (2012)

The structural and electronic properties of bulk Pr(2)NiO(4+δ) (δ = 0 and 0.031) were analyzed using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) for application to electrode materials in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Two struc...

Pr3+-sensitized Er3+-doped bismuthate glass for generating high inversion rates at 2.7 µm wavelength.

Optics Letters 37(16) , 3387-9, (2012)

With a 980 nm laser diode pumping, the 2.7 µm emission and energy transfer processes of Er3+/Pr3+ codoped germanium-gallium-bismuthate glasses have been investigated. For Er3+ (1 mol. %) and Pr3+ (1 mol. %) molar concentrations, an intense 2.7 µm emission was...
