Photophysical and Electrochemical Studies of Multinuclear Complexes of Iron(II) with Acetate and Extended Conjugated N-Donor Ligands by Norbani Abdullah, Suhana Mohd Said, Anita Marlina, Muhamad Faris Roslan, Afiq Azil, Abdul Rahman Nordin

“…Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data suggested that 1 was made up of 56.8% high-spin (HS) and 43.2% low-spin (LS) Fe(II) atoms at 294 K and has a moderate antiferromagnetic interaction (J = −81.2 cm−1) between the two Fe(II) centres, while 2 was made up of 27.7% HS and 72.3% LS Fe(II) atoms at 300 K. The optical band gaps (Eo) for 1 were 1.9 eV (from absorption spectrum) and 2.2 eV (from fluorescence spectrum), electrochemical bandgap (Ee) was 0.83 eV, excited state lifetime (τ) was 0.67 ns, and formal redox potential (E′(FeIII/FeII)) was +0.63 V. …”

Partial Discharge Localization of Gas-Insulated Switchgear via Electromagnetic Time Reversal Enhanced by Windowed Phase Spectrum Cross-Correlation Criterion by Zongyao Wang, Yuan Yan, Lei Jin, Zixing Xu, Shuangzan Ren, Yanliang He, Saike Yang, Hongjie Li

“…The proposed method offers two improvements as follows: on the one hand, the problem of multiple spurious solutions is solved via the phase spectrum cross-correlation analysis between the electric field distributions in GIS stimulated by the two back-injected signals from the two sensors, respectively; on the other hand, a windowed phase spectrum cross-correlation approach is proposed to automatically select the frequency sub-bands with high signal-to-noise ratios for PD localization calculation, thus minimizing the influence of noise interferences. …”
