Semiconductor Materials presents physico-chemical, electronic, electrical, elastic,
mechanical, magnetic, optical, and other properties of a vast group of elemental, binary, and …

ROY is one of the most well-studied families of crystal structures owing to it being the most
polymorphic organic material on record. The various red, orange, and yellow colours of its …

Here, we demonstrate the use of pump-probe microscopy for high-resolution studies of
vermilion degradation. Vermilion (mostly α-HgS), an important red pigment used in historical …

Thermoelectric (TE) property refers to converting thermal energy into electrical energy via
Seebeck effect. Theoretically, the presence of a low thermal conductivity and a high …

The application of no destructive techniques in the field of Cultural Heritage is becoming
fundamental to understanding degradation phenomena. In this study, Transient Absorption …

Based on the combination of first-principles calculations, Boltzmann transport equation, and
electron-phonon interaction (EPI), we investigate the thermal and electronic transport …

We report ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure, the corresponding optical
spectra, and the phonon dispersion relations of trigonal α-HgS (cinnabar). The calculated …

Photoirradiation at> 300 nm of aqueous suspensions of several natural crystal specimens
and synthesized crystallites of mercury (II) sulfide (HgS) induced deaminocyclization of …

Relativistic quantum calculations at the CASSCF-and CCI-levels were performed on the Hg
(SH) 2, HgSH and HgS molecules. The relativistic effects were taken into account by a …
