Second‐Order Optical Nonlinearities in Coordination Chemistry: The Case of Bis(salicylaldiminato)metal Schiff Base Complexes

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the NLO capabilities of bis(salicylaldiminato) metal Schiff base complexes is presented, where chromophores with enhanced hyperpolarizabilities (β) can be obtained by virtue of the coordinated metal center.
Journal ArticleDOI

A massive rock and ice avalanche caused the 2021 disaster at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya

Dan H. Shugar, +60 more
- 16 Jul 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of satellite imagery, seismic records, numerical model results, and eyewitness videos reveals that ~27x106 m3 of rock and glacier ice collapsed from the steep north face of Ronti Peak.
Journal ArticleDOI

Life and death of slow-moving landslides

TL;DR: In the most destructive and catastrophic landslide events, rocks, soil and fluids can travel at speeds approaching several tens of metres per second as discussed by the authors, but slow-moving landslides rarely claim lives, they can cause major damage to infrastructure and sometimes fail catastrophically, transitioning into fast moving landslides that can result in thousands of casualties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, crystal structures, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of new Schiff-base nickel(II) complexes. Toward a new type of molecular switch?

TL;DR: Qualitative ZINDO/SCI quantum chemical calculations indicate that, in [Ni(L)(MePhCHNH2)], the beta orientation strongly depends on the laser wavelength, raising the possibility for a new type of molecular switch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, structures, and physical properties of copper(II)-gadolinium(III) complexes combining ferromagnetic coupling and quadratic nonlinear optical properties.

TL;DR: Two copper(II)-gadolinium(III) metal complexes of formula CuIIGdIIILX3 are reported, where H2L stands for the Schiff base ligand obtained by condensation of 3,4-dimethoxysalicylaldehyde with ethylenediamine or 1R,2R-(+)-1,2-diphenylethylenedienine (complex 2).
