Two-Dimensional Tin-Based Chiral Perovskites with a High Degree of Circularly Polarized Luminescence by Peng Wang (34436)

“…The as-synthesized 2D tin-based chiral perovskite (S-3BrMBA)₂SnI₄ shows an average (maximum) degree of circular polarization (DOCP) of 26.2% (35.8%) at 78 K, which is the highest value in lead-free chiral perovskites reported to date and might be ascribed to the large lattice distortion induced by the chiral ligands. The DOCP decreases with increasing temperature and maintains a constant value with the excitation power. …”

Microbial Diversity Indexes Can Explain Soil Carbon Dynamics as a Function of Carbon Source by Benjamin P. Louis (3072477)

“…An innovative data-mining approach was applied, based on generalized additive models and a predictive criterion. Results showed that microbial diversity indexes can be good covariates to integrate in SOC dynamics models, depending on the C source and the processes considered (native soil organic carbon vs. fresh wheat residue). …”
