description: It has been shown that the anomalies observed in $\bar B\to D^{(\ast)}τ\barν_τ$ and $\bar B\to \bar K\ell^+\ell^-$ decays can be resolved by adding a single scalar or vector leptoquark to the Standard Model, while constraints from other precision measurements in the flavour sector can be satisfied without fine-tuning. To further explore these two interesting scenarios, in this paper, we study their effects in the semi-leptonic $Λ_b\toΛ_cτ\barν_τ$ decay. Using the best-fit solutions for the operator coefficients allowed by the current data of mesonic decays, we find that (i) the two scenarios give similar amounts of enhancements to the branching fraction $\mathcal B(Λ_b\toΛ_cτ\barν_τ)$ and the ratio $R_{Λ_c}=\mathcal B(Λ_b\toΛ_c τ\barν_τ)/\mathcal B(Λ_b\toΛ_c\ell\barν_\ell)$, (ii) the two best-fit solutions in each of these two scenarios are also indistinguishable from each other, (iii) both scenarios give nearly the same predictions as those of the Standard Model for the longitudinal polarizations of $Λ_c$ and $τ$ as well as the lepton-side forward-backward asymmetry. With future measurements of these observables in $Λ_b\toΛ_cτ\barν_τ$ decay at the LHCb, the two leptoquark scenarios could be further tested, and even differentiated from the other NP explanations for the $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ anomalies. We also discuss the feasibility for the measurements of these observables at the LHC and the future $e^+e^-$ colliders.

D1.5: DESCRIPTION AND SIMULATION OF GPR INVESTIGATION IN A MARTIAN ENVIRONMENT
Creators: name: Allemand, Pascal
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: This deliverable presents models of the response of the FlyRadar instrument to different lithological and geometric
 configurations of the Martian subsurface. The GprMax software was used to model the response of a lava tube,
 ice lenses, a horizontal layer and an inclined layer. In addition, the effects of surface roughness were also
 evaluated. Model results show that each modelled object produces a backscattered signal that can be recorded by
 the instrument. The surface roughness does not alter the quality of the signal. The models produced are simplified
 cases since the transmitting and receiving antennas are not modelled. Similarly, the complexity of geological cases
 has been simplified to evaluate only the response of geological objects. This instrument will now have to be tested
 in terrestrial conditions.
Transversely isotropic rheology in numerical models of large scale lithospheric deformation

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Experimental and seismological studies have shown rocks with embedded faults and stratified rocks have a directionally dependent response to stress, dominated by transversely isotropic rheology. In mantle convection simulations, dynamically evolving faults and plate boundaries have, in the majority, been represented as isotropic shear bands and isotropic weak zones. Transversely isotropic constitutive models are regularly employed in the field of solid rock mechanics but have very seldom been used in the field of geodynamics. This thesis presents an exploration of transversely isotropic rheology in models of large scale lithospheric deformation. It was found that models using transversely isotropic rheology within a fault zone, produce more realistic results with regards to stress transference across the fault and displacement along the fault. The use of a transversely isotropic plasticity in time dependent models of extension resulted in more realistic lithospheric strength profiles, fault angle distributions and fault interaction. The use of a transversely isotropic plasticity in time dependent subduction zone models which include an overriding plate, facilitated asymmetric subduction from initiation to steady state subduction. In addition its use enabled the plate boundary interface to accurately evolve with time as a function of the plate boundary stresses, which led to a more accurate measurement of the stress state, dynamic topography and plate coupling in the subduction zone models. The results from all models discussed in this thesis show that a transversely isotropic rheology provides a more accurate representation of large scale deformation in the Earth's lithosphere.

description: We use the Fisher matrix formalism to study the expansion and growth history of the Universe using galaxy clustering with 2D angular cross-correlation tomography in spectroscopic or high resolution photometric redshift surveys. The radial information is contained in the cross correlations between narrow redshift bins. We show how multiple tracers with redshift space distortions cancel sample variance and arbitrarily improve the constraints on the dark energy equation of state $ω(z)$ and the growth parameter $γ$ in the noiseless limit. The improvement for multiple tracers quickly increases with the bias difference between the tracers, up to a factor $\sim4$ in $\text{FoM}_{γω}$. We model a magnitude limited survey with realistic density and bias using a conditional luminosity function, finding a factor 1.3-9.0 improvement in $\text{FoM}_{γω}$ -- depending on global density -- with a split in a halo mass proxy. Partly overlapping redshift bins improve the constraints in multiple tracer surveys a factor $\sim1.3$ in $\text{FoM}_{γω}$. This findings also apply to photometric surveys, where the effect of using multiple tracers is magnified. We also show large improvement on the FoM with increasing density, which could be used as a trade-off to compensate some possible loss with radial resolution.

description: Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typically, for most biomedical applications, the handling of complex, non-Newtonian fluids is involved, e.g. synovial and salivary fluids, collagen, and gel scaffolds. In this study we investigate the problem of droplet formation occurring in a microfluidic T-shaped junction, when the continuous phase is made of shear thinning liquids. At first, we review in detail the breakup process providing extensive, side-by-side comparisons between Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids over unexplored ranges of flow conditions and viscous responses. The non-Newtonian liquid carrying the droplets is made of Xanthan solutions, a stiff rod-like polysaccharide displaying a marked shear thinning rheology. By defining an effective Capillary number, a simple yet effective methodology is used to account for the shear-dependent viscous response occurring at the breakup. The droplet size can be predicted over a wide range of flow conditions simply by knowing the rheology of the bulk continuous phase. Experimental results are complemented with numerical simulations of purely shear thinning fluids using Lattice Boltzmann models. The good agreement between the experimental and numerical data confirm the validity of the proposed rescaling with the effective Capillary number.

description: Using Maxwell's equal area law, we discuss the phase transition of higher dimensional charged topological dilaton AdS black holes with a nonlinear source. The coexisting region of the two phases is found and we depict the coexistence region in $P-v$ diagrams. The two-phase equilibrium curves in $P-T$ diagrams are plotted, and we take the first order approximation of volume $v$ in the calculation. To better compare with a general thermodynamic system, the Clapeyron equation is derived for higher dimensional charged topological black hole with a nonlinear source. The latent heat of isothermal phase transition is investigated. We also study the effect of the parameters of the black hole on the region of two-phases coexistence. The results show that the black hole may go through a small-large phase transition similar to those of usual non-gravity thermodynamic systems.

description: Hybrid percolation transitions (HPTs) induced by cascading processes have been observed in diverse complex systems such as $k$-core percolation, breakdown on interdependent networks and cooperative epidemic spreading models. Much effort has been devoted to describe the properties of HPTs of individual systems. Yet the fundamental question about the possible universal mechanism underlying those HPTs has not been investigated at a microscopic level. Here, we find that the discontinuity in the order parameter in such HPTs results from two steps: a durable critical branching (CB) and an explosive, supercritical (SC) process. In a random network of $N$ nodes at the transition the CB process persists for $O(N^{1/3})$ time and the remaining nodes become vulnerable. Those vulnerable nodes are activated then in the short SC process. This crossover mechanism and scaling behavior are universal for different HPT systems.

An experimental study of creation of optimal fracture network for heat extraction from engineered geothermal reservoirs
Creators: name: Singh, Banambar
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Enhanced geothermal system has been successfully able to increase the permeability of the reservoir and hydro-fracturing is the conventional method of creating artificial fracture system. But more precise technique is required to reduce the cost of the geothermal energy extraction and this will require proper understanding of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the reservoir rocks i.e. Granites. Current research work has focused on the thermo-mechanical properties of granites under various temperature and strain rate condition. Granites of two different areas i.e. Bundelkhand granite, India and Harcourt granite, Australia have been investigated for the research work. 4 different strain rates i.e. 0.05 mm/min, 0.5 mm/min, 5.0 mm/min and 50 mm/min at 3 different temperatures i.e. room temperature (25 °C), 200 °C and 400 °C were considered for experimental analysis. It was observed that at room temperature, with increasing strain rate the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock increases and the same trend is also observed at higher temperatures conditions. Whereas at low strain rate the compressive strength decreases with increase in temperature, while the trend is irregular at higher strain rates. Bundelkhand granites have thermal conductivity values between 3.1 to 3.6 W/m.K whereas that of Harcourt granite is 2.4 W/m.K. Sieve analysis of the fragmented particles due to UCS test suggested that there is no effect of strain rate on particle size distribution whereas higher temperatures produces more finer particles. It was observed that more than 75% of the fragmented particles are having diameter of greater than 11.3 mm. Effective size i.e. D10 was analysed and found that at room temperature (25 °C) 10% of fragmented particles are finer than 3.0 mm whereas at 200 °C and 400 °C 10% of finer particles are finer than 1.9 mm and 1.5 mm respectively. Numerical simulation results of the numerical simulation are quite analogous to the lab experimental data.

title: Modifying the self-assembled nanostructures of perylene bisimides in water and their applications
Creators: name: Egan, Jacquelyn Grace
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Perylene bisimide (PBI) performance in photovoltaic applications is highly dependent on their ability to form photogenerated radicals. Their aggregation and self-assembled nanostructures can have a large impact on their ability to form the photoconductive radical. Currently, the literature has been primarily focused on changing their aggregation and self-assembled nanostructures in organic solvents. However, there is a desire to move away from organic solvents and towards water as it is more environmentally friendly. The addition of pH sensitive groups onto the PBI chemical structure allows for them to be solubilised in water. This also allows for their aggregation and self-assembled nanostructures to be tailored through pH change. First, this work looked at how the counterion used to make the basic solution which solubilises the PBI could be used to change the aggregates and molecular packing in solution. This is a simple method and less time consuming compared to changing the PBI chemical structure to form new structures. The different metal ions used to form the PBI aggregates had different pH sensitivities and showed different nanostructures forming over a range of pHs. This also led to a change in the gelation kinetics for pH-triggered hydrogels and a difference in the bulk rheological properties. The solutions of PBI solubilised with different counterions at pH 6 were used to fabricate multilayer photovoltaic devices which showed varying degrees of power conversion efficiency depending on counterion choice. Next, the chemical structure was changed in the imide position with three similar amino acids. These PBIs were then characterised across various length scales to see how their self-assembled structures influenced their ability to form photoconductive radical at different pHs. This difference in molecular packing led to a difference in radical anion formation over a range of pHs. The difference in pH sensitivity led to a difference in the gelation kinetics when a pH trigger was used. It was also observed that the different pH sensitivities led to an increase in gel stiffness for one of the PBIs. Lastly the synthesis of three PBIs with different amino acid side chains that have been core-substituted with pyrrolidine groups were examined. The change in the functional group on the core is expected to change the π-π stacking. The addition of the electron density to the core leads to a dramatic change in the optical and redox properties. The PBIs were able to form radical cation instead of radical anion when irradiated. Their ability to self-assemble as pH was lowered showed that amino acid choice has a major impact on the nanostructures formed. They could be used to make pH-triggered hydrogels when the initial solution concentration was increased, however, these hydrogels could no longer form radical cation.

description: This is the second in a series of papers on preheating in inflationary models comprised of multiple scalar fields coupled nonminimally to gravity. In this paper, we work in the rigid-spacetime approximation and consider field trajectories within the single-field attractor, which is a generic feature of these models. We construct the Floquet charts to find regions of parameter space in which particle production is efficient for both the adiabatic and isocurvature modes, and analyze the resonance structure using analytic and semi-analytic techniques. Particle production in the adiabatic direction is characterized by the existence of an asymptotic scaling solution at large values of the nonminimal couplings, $ξ_I \gg 1$, in which the dominant instability band arises in the long-wavelength limit, for comoving wavenumbers $k \rightarrow 0$. However, the large-$ξ_I$ regime is not reached until $ξ_I \geq {\cal O} (100)$. In the intermediate regime, with $ξ_I \sim {\cal O}(1 - 10)$, the resonance structure depends strongly on wavenumber and couplings. The resonance structure for isocurvature perturbations is distinct and more complicated than its adiabatic counterpart. An intermediate regime, for $ξ_I \sim {\cal O} (1 - 10)$, is again evident. For large values of $ξ_I$, the Floquet chart consists of densely spaced, nearly parallel instability bands, suggesting a very efficient preheating behavior. The increased efficiency arises from features of the nontrivial field-space manifold in the Einstein frame, which itself arises from the fields' nonminimal couplings in the Jordan frame, and has no analogue in models with minimal couplings. Quantitatively, the approach to the large-$ξ_I$ asymptotic solution for isocurvature modes is slower than in the case of the adiabatic modes.

description: We study the problems of deconfinement, chiral symmetry restoration and localisation of the low Dirac eigenmodes in a toy model of QCD, namely unimproved staggered fermions on lattices of temporal extension $N_T=4$. This model displays a genuine deconfining and chirally-restoring first-order phase transition at some critical value of the gauge coupling. Our results indicate that the onset of localisation of the lowest Dirac eigenmodes takes place at the same critical coupling where the system undergoes the first-order phase transition. This provides further evidence of the close relation between deconfinement, chiral symmetry restoration and localisation of the low modes of the Dirac operator on the lattice.

Understanding denitrification in permeable sands

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Sandy sediments cover the majority of the continental shelf, and yet are poorly understood compared with the cohesive, muddy sediments often observed in rivers, lakes and estuaries. A major difference between the two types of benthos lies in solute transport – slow, homogenous diffusion in muds, compared with rapid, two-dimensional advection through sands. This difference massively affects the biogeochemistry of permeable sediments, but its effects on denitrification – the major process for N removal from most systems – are poorly understood. In this thesis, denitrification in permeable sediments is investigated under a variety of scenarios. First, a combined laboratory and modelling approach is used to demonstrate that the rapid transport in permeable sediments limits the effectiveness of coupled nitrification-denitrification, significantly limiting overall denitrification rates in permeable sediments. Second, the effect of these transport phenomena on 15N isotope fractionation during denitrification is investigated. The apparent effect observed is consistent with low denitrification rates and supports the low isotope fractionation observed in global oceans. Third, a modelling investigation seeks to test a hypothesis that carbonate sands are capable of higher denitrification rates compared with quartz sands, due to pores within the grains themselves facilitating high rates of coupled nitrification-denitrification. The models indicate that this sort of intragranular reaction is plausible, and could indeed lead to higher denitrification rates in a real system. Finally, a further computational study investigates the effect that migrating ripples may have on denitrification in permeable sediments. While moving ripples drive very different transport and solute distribution, the rates of denitrification in sediments with moving ripples is similar to those with stationary ripples.

Nucleophilic catalysis of compounds in the ester oxidation state
Creators: name: Kowalczyk, Marcin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Nucleophilic catalysis, and more specifically N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis is a powerful tool that can transform carbonyl containing starting materials to more complex products. The type of transformation that occurs depends on the nature of the intermediate that can be accessed which in turn is controlled by the nature of starting material, reaction conditions and catalyst. This thesis describes studies into exploring completely new intermediates in nucleophilic catalysis or exploiting established intermediates in new ways. The first chapter provides an overview of the reactivity patterns that can be seen in this field of catalysis, with transformations categorised by the key reactive intermediate. The acyl azolium, α,β- unsaturated acyl azolium, acyl azolium enolate, β-azolium enolate and hemiacetal azolium are all discussed. Chapter two describes studies towards the use of the novel α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediate in reaction discovery, in this context in an all carbon formal (4 + 2) cycloaddition reaction. The development of this reaction is discussed and limitations in this methodology described and addressed. Chapter three describes the use of enol esters in an attempt to access similar intermediates. Through the use of harsher reaction conditions, novel bicyclo[2.2.2]octane materials were synthesised. The generality of the reaction was explored and mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction proceeded via a hemiacetal azolium intermediate, through at [1,5] shift mechanism to access an unstable unconjugated intermediate before thermal (4 + 2) cycloaddition. The reactivity of the products was further investigated and a brief study into an enantioselective variant of the reaction was also undertaken. Chapter four describes the investigation into utilizing NHCs as nucleophilic catalysts in intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions where the diene and dienophile are tethered by an ester. This synthetically challenging transformation arises due to the conformational resting state of the molecule and studies on using nucleophilic catalysis to address this are described in this chapter. Chapter five describes the application of nucleophilic catalysis in developing novel autocatalysts. This study introduces the possibility of exploiting nucleophilic catalysis to activate acyl and alkyl halide starting materials to nucleophilic attack by azido alcohols. Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition completes the catalytic cycle and produces another molecule of catalyst which is free to re-enter the catalytic cycle.

Cytokinesis by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is compromised by the loss of anillin/Mid1p and they assemble slowly into an abnormal contractile ring. Phosphorylation by aurora and polo kinase during different cell cycle steps regulates several aspects of Mid1p function. In this thesis, we focussed on understanding the genetic interactions between the mid1 and vps4 genes, the physical interactions between Mid1p and Vps4p proteins, and the mechanisms by which they work together to regulate one another during cytokinesis. In this thesis, we identified genetic interactions between mid1 phospho-mutants plo1-ts35, ark1-ts11, and vps4∆ genes using tetrad analysis. Synthetic viabilityand morphological studies identified potentially important Mid1p amino acid residues that are required for successful cytokinesis. We observed defective growth and morphology in cells with mutations in Mid1p at serine positions 332, 523, and 531. This analysis suggested a strong genetic interaction between mid1 and vps4 genes. Furthermore, Mid1p is phosphorylated by aurora ark1 and polo plo1 kinases, genetic interactions between mid1, ark1, and plo1 kinase genes is essential for cell viability, and it is also required for the correct cellular localization of Mid1p protein. Such analysis revealed serine residues S332, S523, and S531 to be required for the Mid1p function and its interaction with vps4, ark1, and plo1 genes. Pull-down assay was used to determine the physical interaction between the Nterminal domain, middle and C-terminal domains of Mid1p with Vps4p. We observed a positive physical interaction between the C-terminal domain and Vps4p, suggesting physical interaction between C-terminal and Vps4p. However, a negative physical interaction between N-terminal and Middle with Vps4p was observed. Bioimage analysis showed septation defects and mislocalization at serine positions S332, 523, and 531 of mid1 phospho-mutant indicating the importance of phosphorylation of Mid1p in cortical anchorage and nuclear localization during cell division. The mislocalization patterns observed present evidence that Mid1p is implicated in the recruitment of nodes and endosomal vesicle elements to drive cytokinesis processes. Combined, these data suggest a genetic and biochemical interaction between Mid1p and Vps4p is important for cytokinesis and further implied that phosphorylation of Mid1p by aurora and polo kinases is significant for this processes.

description: This thesis is primarily concerned with the synthesis of low oxidation state alkaline earth metal complexes featuring novel β-diketiminate ligands and their derivatives. The syntheses of a variety of different β-diketiminates possessing extreme steric bulk, as well as those that have been electronically modified are detailed. These ligands have been used to produce a variety of different alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and lanthanide complexes. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to low oxidation state alkaline earth metal chemistry. Particular attention is given to metal complexes featuring β-diketiminates, given their central role in the research making up this thesis. Chapter 2 deals with the synthesis of a range of novel, sterically hindered β-diketimines. These pro-ligands were targeted in the belief that their extreme bulk would allow the synthesis of currently unknown structural motifs. Chapter 3 is primary concerned with the exploitation of the developed sterically hindered β-diketimines in the synthesis of a variety of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and lanthanide complexes. A range of three coordinate magnesium complexes were produced using the developed ligands, most notably, the first crystallographically characterised β-diketiminato magnesium hydride. In our quest for a calcium(I) dimer, a complex type which is currently unknown, a variety of β-diketiminato calcium iodides were produced. The attempted reduction of these heteroleptic metal iodide complexes resulted not in the targeted low oxidation state complexes, but in two different calcium(II) dimers. In Chapter 4, the β-diketimine ligand was adapted, resulting in two separate classes of pro-ligands. The first, a 1,3,5-triazapentadiene, has had the central carbon replaced by nitrogen. The second, instead of having the typical methyl groups on the ligand backbone, has dialkylamino groups. In each instance, it was envisaged that the ligands would donate additional electron density, and bind more strongly to the metal centre in coordination complexes, when compared to the standard β-diketiminate ligand class. Six separate heteroleptic magnesium(II) iodide complexes have been developed from these ligands, the majority of which show promise as precursors to low oxidation state magnesium complexes. Chapter 5 details several new secondary amines which have been produced as pro-ligands for low oxidation state main group chemistry. In addition, preliminary studies have shown that these ligands have potential in coordination chemistry.

description: In this paper we address the problem of constructing a feature extractor which combines Mallat's scattering transform framework with time-frequency (Gabor) representations. To do this, we introduce a class of frames, called uniform covering frames, which includes a variety of semi-discrete Gabor systems. Incorporating a uniform covering frame with a neural network structure yields the Fourier scattering transform $\mathcal{S}_\mathcal{F}$ and the truncated Fourier scattering transform. We prove that $\mathcal{S}_\mathcal{F}$ propagates energy along frequency decreasing paths and its energy decays exponentially as a function of the depth. These quantitative estimates are fundamental in showing that $\mathcal{S}_\mathcal{F}$ satisfies the typical scattering transform properties, and in controlling the information loss due to width and depth truncation. We introduce the fast Fourier scattering transform algorithm, and illustrate the algorithm's performance. The time-frequency covering techniques developed in this paper are flexible and give insight into the analysis of scattering transforms.

description: Privacy analysis is critical but also a time-consuming and tedious task. We present a formalization which eases designing and auditing high-level privacy properties of software architectures. It is incorporated into a larger policy analysis and verification framework and enables the assessment of commonly accepted data protection goals of privacy. The formalization is based on static taint analysis and makes flow and processing of privacy-critical data explicit, globally as well as on the level of individual data subjects. Formally, we show equivalence to traditional label-based information flow security and prove overall soundness of our tool with Isabelle/HOL. We demonstrate applicability in two real-world case studies, thereby uncovering previously unknown violations of privacy constraints in the analyzed software architectures.

description: This paper concludes our semi-analytic study of preheating in inflationary models comprised of multiple scalar fields coupled nonminimally to gravity. Using the covariant framework of paper I in this series, we extend the rigid-spacetime results of paper II by considering both the expansion of the universe during preheating, as well as the effect of the coupled metric perturbations on particle production. The adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations are governed by different effective masses that scale differently with the nonminimal couplings and evolve differently in time. The effective mass for the adiabatic modes is dominated by contributions from the coupled metric perturbations immediately after inflation. The metric perturbations contribute an oscillating tachyonic term that enhances an early period of significant particle production for the adiabatic modes, which ceases on a time-scale governed by the nonminimal couplings $ξ_I$. The effective mass of the isocurvature perturbations, on the other hand, is dominated by contributions from the fields' potential and from the curvature of the field-space manifold (in the Einstein frame), the balance between which shifts on a time-scale governed by $ξ_I$. As in papers I and II, we identify distinct behavior depending on whether the nonminimal couplings are small ($ξ_I \lesssim {\cal O} (1)$), intermediate ($ξ_I \sim {\cal O} (1 - 10)$), or large ($ξ_I \geq 100$).

Nanostructured manganese oxide catalysts for water oxidation

description: The storage of solar energy into chemical bonds, such as hydrogen or hydrocarbon fuels, through system mimicking photosynthesis is attracting intensive attention at the moment as a potential pathway to provide cheap and affordable source of renewable energy. The obstacle for the practical application of the artificial photosynthesis system is the low efficiency of the solar energy conversion. The development of active and efficient catalysts based on earth abundant elements is critically important for improving the efficiency of solar driven systems, especially in respect of the water oxidation process. These catalysts can be semiconductors capable of converting light into chemical bonds either by harvesting solar energy in their own right or combined with light harvesting materials, as in Photosystem II (PSII). Manganese, which has been identified as one of the key elements in water oxidation catalysis in PSII, is of great interest in the development of catalytic water oxidation systems. The activity of catalysts is highly determined by the fabrication technology and post treatment. In this work, a novel low-cost method for the synthesis of manganese oxide films was developed by electrodeposition from an ionic liquid at high temperature. By varying the acidity of the deposition electrolytes, the chemical composition of the obtained films was controlled from birnessite (manganese dioxide), Mn₂O₃ to hausmannite (Mn₃O₄), and the micro-structure varies from a porous to a dense morphology. Films composed of birnessite and Mn₂O₃ exhibits highly catalytic performance in water oxidation, while the Mn₃O₄ exhibits low activity. In addition, a facile heat treatment of the as-grown manganese oxide was proven to remarkably improve the water oxidation performance. Investigation into the effects of the heat treatment reveals that the dehydration process removes structural water and hydroxyl groups, and the growth of reduced Mn species (Mnᴵᴵ or Mnᴵᴵᴵ) in the heat treated MnOₓ contributes to the higher catalytic water oxidation activity. The light-harvesting and conversion performance on manganese oxide were also investigated. Although the manganese oxide exhibits good harvesting of visible light, previous studies have shown that the solar energy conversion efficiency is very low. This work developed a buffered organic/inorganic electrolyte for solar water splitting, in which the manganese oxide nanomaterial is capable of effectively using solar energy to promote water oxidation with photocurrents as high as 4.5 4.5 mA cm⁻² at η =540 mV. Long-term stability is another important property for practical water splitting. It is still a big challenge for MnOx to maintain high performance in long-term testing, as its activity decays with time. This research shows that the doping of nickel or iron into the manganese structure improves the water oxidation activity and long-term stability.

description: Given a representation of a C*-algebra, thought of as an abstract collection of physical observables, together with a unit vector, one obtains a state on the algebra via restriction. We show that the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction furnishes a left adjoint of this restriction. To properly formulate this adjoint, it must be viewed as a weak natural transformation, a 1-morphism in a suitable 2-category, rather than as a functor between categories. Weak naturality encodes the functoriality and the universal property of adjunctions encodes the characterizing features of the GNS construction. Mathematical definitions and results are accompanied by physical interpretations.
