Dichlorido(4,5-diaza­fluoren-9-one-κ2 N,N′)palladium(II)

The structure of the title compound, [PdCl2(C11H6N2O)], shows a nearly square-planar geometry for the PdII atom within a Cl2N2 donor set

Enhanced surface acceleration of fast electrons by using sub-wavelength grating targets

Surface acceleration of fast electrons in intense laser-plasma interaction is improved by using sub-wavelength grating targets. The fast electron beam emitted along the target surface was enhanced by more than three times relative to that by using planar target. The total number of the fast electrons ejected from the front side of target was also increased by about one time. The method to enhance the surface acceleration of fast electron is effective for various targets with sub-wavelength structured surface, and can be applied widely in the cone-guided fast ignition, energetic ion acceleration, plasma device, and other high energy density physics experiments.Comment: 14 pages, 4figure

{6,6′-Dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[4-bromo-o-phenyl­enebis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}nickel(II) methanol solvate

In the title compound, [Ni(C22H17BrN2O4)]·CH3OH, the NiII ion is in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry involving an N2O2 atom set of the tetra­dentate Schiff base ligand. The asymmetric unit contains one nickel complex and one methanol solvent mol­ecule. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes of the central aromatic ring and other two aromatic rings are 10.8 (3) and 6.0 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br and by intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
