Efficient Gate-tunable light-emitting device made of defective boron nitride nanotubes: from ultraviolet to the visible

Boron nitride is a promising material for nanotechnology applications due to its two-dimensional graphene-like, insulating, and highly-resistant structure. Recently it has received a lot of attention as a substrate to grow and isolate graphene as well as for its intrinsic UV lasing response. Similar to carbon, one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have been theoretically predicted and later synthesised. Here we use first principles simulations to unambiguously demonstrate that i) BN nanotubes inherit the highly efficient UV luminescence of hexagonal BN; ii) the application of an external perpendicular field closes the electronic gap keeping the UV lasing with lower yield; iii) defects in BNNTS are responsible for tunable light emission from the UV to the visible controlled by a transverse electric field (TEF). Our present findings pave the road towards optoelectronic applications of BN-nanotube-based devices that are simple to implement because they do not require any special doping or complex growth

Congreso “Humanizar la educación” : 27, 28, 29 junio 2014

El Congreso "Humanizar la Educación / Hezkuntza Gizatiartu", desarrollado en Bilbao los días 27, 28 y 29 de junio de 2014, es una propuesta dirigida a todos los agentes que constituyen la comunidad educativa. La finalidad de este evento consiste en generar un espacio de dimensión humana para compartir experiencias de trabajo, propiciar vivencias técnicas orientadas al autoconocimiento, y estimular actitudes responsables y creativas que posibiliten humanizar la educación. Está dirigido a todas las personas implicadas y comprometidas con la educación, independientemente del nivel, ámbito y rol en el que ésta se desarrolle; nos referimos a personas receptivas y que confíen en que el cambio comienza en uno mismo. Este marco ofrece una oportunidad para reconocer y hacer visibles realidades educativas ya existentes en esta línea y para nutrir aquellas que pudieran gestarse. Este evento, organizado por la UPV/EHU, se oferta en el marco de los Cursos de Verano / Cursos Europeos de la Fundación Cursos de Verano de la UPV/EHU y cuenta con la colaboración especial de la Fundación Claudio Naranjo. Para su desarrollo, además, cuenta con la ayuda de numerosas entidades, asociaciones, centros y profesionales que tienen la convicción de que educar es mucho más que compartir conocimiento; es una responsabilidad conjunta de todos los que configuramos el mapa educativo.

Data Gathering Bias: Trait Vulnerability to Psychotic Symptoms?

Background Jumping to conclusions (JTC) is associated with psychotic disorder and psychotic symptoms. If JTC represents a trait, the rate should be (i) increased in people with elevated levels of psychosis proneness such as individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and (ii) show a degree of stability over time. Methods The JTC rate was examined in 3 groups: patients with first episode psychosis (FEP), BPD patients and controls, using the Beads Task. PANSS, SIS-R and CAPE scales were used to assess positive psychotic symptoms. Four WAIS III subtests were used to assess IQ. Results A total of 61 FEP, 26 BPD and 150 controls were evaluated. 29 FEP were revaluated after one year. 44% of FEP (OR = 8.4, 95% CI: 3.9-17.9) displayed a JTC reasoning bias versus 19% of BPD (OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 0.8-7.8) and 9% of controls. JTC was not associated with level of psychotic symptoms or specifically delusionality across the different groups. Differences between FEP and controls were independent of sex, educational level, cannabis use and IQ. After one year, 47.8% of FEP with JTC at baseline again displayed JTC. Conclusions JTC in part reflects trait vulnerability to develop disorders with expression of psychotic symptoms.

Photorelease of Pyridyl Esters in Organometallic Ru(II) Arene Complexes

New Ru(II) arene complexes of formula [((6)-p-cym)Ru(N-N)(X)](2+) (where p-cym = para-cymene, N-N = 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpm) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and X = m/p-COOMe-Py, 1-4) were synthesised and characterized, including the molecular structure of complexes [((6)-p-cym)Ru(bpy)(m-COOMe-Py)](2+) (3) and [((6)-p-cym)Ru(bpy)(p-COOMe-Py)](2+) (4) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1-4 are stable in the dark in aqueous solution over 48 h and photolysis studies indicate that they can photodissociate the monodentate m/p-COOMe-Py ligands selectively with yields lower than 1%. DFT and TD-DFT calculations (B3LYP/LanL2DZ/6-31G**) performed on singlet and triplet states pinpoint a low-energy triplet state as the reactive state responsible for the selective dissociation of the monodentate pyridyl ligands.
