Photoelectrochemically Self Improving Si/GaN Photocathode: Figure 2d Raw Data

After 10 hrs of chronoamperometry (CA) photoconductive atomic force microscopy (PC-AFM) measurements were conducted on Si/GaN samples using a commercial AFM system (Bruker Dimension Icon). PeakForce TUNA mode was used to acquire the morphology and current simultaneously. A PtIr conductive probe with spring constant of 2.8 Nm-1 was used for the scanning. A white light source was used to illuminate the surface during the acquisition. Line scan extracting the topography and photocurrent from this 10 hour CA tested Si/GaN sample. The topography mapping is 2 × 2 µm2. No sample bias was applied and this photoconductive AFM measurement was performed under white light front illumination with an angle.

Photoelectrochemically Self Improving Si/GaN Photocathode: Figure 3c Raw Data

XPS after 0hr of chronoampometry. Surface chemical composition and valence band structure of GaN were obtained by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) on a Kratos Axis Ultra DLD system at a takeoff angle of 0° relative to the surface normal. An Al Kα source (hν = 1486.6 eV) was used to excite the core level electrons. Pass energy of 20 eV was used for the narrow scan of core levels and valence band spectra, and step size of 0.05 eV and 0.025 eV, respectively. The Spectral fitting was conducted using CasaXPS analysis software. The binding energy scales of all core levels were corrected to the N 1s of Ga – N bond at 397.8 eV. XPS O1s core level spectra from as-received Si/GaN sample, and deconvolution shows O - Ga bond and OH - H2O bond.

Photoelectrochemically Self Improving Si/GaN Photocathode: Figure 4a Raw Data

Calculated formation energy of (0001 ̅) c-plane GaN surfaces. The density-functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed with the generalized gradient approximation, using the plane-wave pseudopotential quantum-ESPRESSO package. Ultrasoft pseudopotentials were used to describe the interaction between valence electrons and ionic cores, where Ga 3d electrons were explicitly treated as valence electrons. The wave functions and electronic density were expanded in a plane-wave basis set truncated at a cutoff energy of 30 Ry and 240 Ry, respectively. The surface was modeled using a repeated slab geometry using a (2×2) unit cell with a thickness of seven GaN bilayers, where the Ga-terminated bottom side was passivated by pseudo-hydrogen with charge of 1.25e. In addition, the (1010) surface was modeled using 8 GaN atomic layers with a lateral dimension of 9.57 Å x 10.38 Å. A vacuum width of at least 15.0 Å was introduced between consecutive slabs, and a k-point mesh of 5x5x1 and 2x2x1 was used to sample the surface Brillouin zone for the polar and non-polar surfaces, respectively. Calculated formation energy of (0001 ̅) c-plane GaN surfaces with different oxygen configuration within the anion and cation-rich limits: ideal GaN surfaces of c-plane and m-plane; configurations with 100% replacement of nitrogen by oxygen on the surface c-plane and m-plane; 100% replacement of nitrogen by oxygen in the subsurface bilayer c-plane and m-plane; and configurations with 50% replacement of nitrogen of the surface and subsurface bilayers by oxygens c-plane and m-plane. In both cases, the ideal surface is chosen as the reference.

An outbreak of renal failure in asian dogs due to s-triazine adulteration of pet food raw material: Analysis of unique, green kidney stones formed as a result

Renoliths were removed at necropsy from dogs that had died from acute kidney injury in Asia in 2004 and submitted to our laboratories for analysis including elemental composition, mass spectrometry, and microprobe analysis. The presence of a mixed s-triazine matrix comprising melamine, cyanuric acid, and ammelide, but no detectable ammeline, was found in the stone samples we analyzed. The unusual and unique green coloration of these stones was determined to be due to the presence of biliverdin. The occurrence of these green stones distinguished the 2004 incident from another incident in 2007 in the USA and other reported cases. The presence of crystals was reported in renal tubules and collecting ducts in both outbreaks, but no stones were reported in the 2007 incident. Here, this difference suggested a variation in the disease process caused by mixed s- triazine ingestion. Careful monitoring of food additives is warranted to prevent future problems in animals and humans.

Future Projections of EURO‐CORDEX Raw and Bias‐Corrected Daily Maximum Wind Speeds Over Scandinavia

Twenty historical and future Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment ensemble for Europe simulations are bias corrected to investigate the future changes in the daily maximum wind speed over Scandinavia. We use quantile mapping to adjust the wind for the historical period (1985–2014) and quantile delta mapping for two future periods (2041–2070, 2071–2100, RCP8.5) with the 3-km spatial resolution NORA3 hindcast as the reference data set. Decomposing the variance, we find that most of the inter-model spread in the bias and the response to climate change is due to the regional climate model over land and mainly to the general climate model over sea. On average, the mean daily maximum wind speed is projected to increase everywhere except along the western coast of Norway and Denmark. In summer, we see an opposite sign over Sweden and Finland. The Norwegian Sea experiences weaker mean and high wind whereas the Baltic Sea experiences a strengthening. Bias correction influences the amplitude of the response, not the response pattern. Wind speed distributions can have different shapes in the future, with, for example, a flattening of the distribution off the coast of Norway with more frequent weak and very strong winds. Apart from a few locations in Norway, we find an increase in the number of days in the local highest historical wind category. Overall, summer exhibits opposite signals compared to the three other seasons. At country scale, the sign of the change in the mean and 98th percentile varies greatly depending on the region and among the simulations, especially for Norway.
