Diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dots (DMS-QDs) is a class of material prepared by introducing a small percentage of magnetic impurities to impart new magneto-optical properties to the host nanocrystal (NC). Such materials are regarded as promising candidates for their potential application in spintronic devices. The overall functionality of the DMS‑QD is highly dependent on the dopant position within the host structure. A thorough understanding of the doping mechanism is, therefore, critical to gain better control over the dopant speciation in nanocrystal lattice and material properties. In this work, we utilized II‑VI molecular clusters that are analogous to bulk semiconductors as …

"A new method has been demonstrated for the synthesis of monolithic ceramic and purely metallic aerogels from xerogel powder compacts, and the use of polyurethane aerogels based on cyclodextrins as efficient desiccants.
I. Highly porous ( > 80%) monolithic SiC and Si3N4, aerogels were prepared from compressed compacts of polyurea-crosslinked silica xerogel powders. The process is time efficient as solvent-exchange through powders is fast, and energy efficient as it bypasses drying with supercritical fluids. The final ceramic objects were chemically pure, sturdy, with compressive moduli at 37 ±7 MPa and 59 ± 7 MPa, and thermal conductivities …
