Tunable emission properties of Eu ions in KBPO4 (B = Ca, Sr, and Ba) via variation in their valence states
We investigated the luminescent behavior of KBPO4 (KBPO4:Eu) nanocrystals (NC) doped with europium (Eu) ions, where B = Ca, Sr, and Ba. The NC samples were fabricated via the chemical method and annealed in diffe...

Predicting impact of Austropuccinia psidii on populations of broad leaved Melaleuca species in Australia
Melaleucaeae is the second largest angiosperm tribe in Australia containing more than 330 species. Most Melaleuca species are endemic to Australia and are found in a wide variety of habitats. The Melaleuca leucad...

Open AccessComparative genomics of Eucalyptus and Corymbia reveals low rates of genome structural rearrangement
Previous studies suggest genome structure is largely conserved between Eucalyptus species. However, it is unknown if this conservation extends to more divergent eucalypt taxa. We performed comparative genomics be...

Cu-ion-implantation-driven visible emission in SrZrO3 and SrHfO3
We report that visible emissions in the 4d/5d band insulators SrZrO3 and SrHfO3 can be induced by using the Cu-ion implantation technique. A sizable emission near 400 nm was observed clearly in both implanted sam...
