Abstract

We report single-phase syntheses of undoped 2H-MoS2 as well as Mn and Fe doped MoS2 by a facile hydrothermal route. The formation of the 2H-MoS2 phase was confirmed by XRD and was corroborated with Raman spectra. The morphology of the doped and undoped MoS2 nanostructures comprised sheets, as revealed by TEM and STEM images. The fine granular structure was observed by high resolution TEM micrographs. The STEM-EDS results show dopant concentrations of ∼1 atom% corresponding to Mn and Fe in doped MoS2. The undoped MoS2 revealed diamagnetic behavior at room temperature and paramagnetic behavior in the range (100 to 300 K). The Mn-MoS2 sample displayed ferromagnetism below 20 K with a coercive field of ∼50 Oe. Such a sample may be utilized for magnetic switching purposes at low temperatures. The onset of the antiferromagnetic interaction was observed below 145 K in Fe-MoS2 samples. They have been understood in terms of long-range magnetic interactions amongst the dipole moments mediated via surface defects as well as the interaction between the dipoles and the surface charges. The findings are corroborated with the help of EPR studies.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
