Negative U‐properties of the oxygen‐vacancy in ZnO
It is shown that the intensity of the oxygen vacancy (VO) related emission in ZnO at 2.45 eV correlates to the concentration of the donor level E4. E4 is located 530 meV below the conduction band and attributed to the VO0/++ recharging. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) experiments with optical excitation locate the VO2+/+ level position 140 meV below the conduction band and give evidence for the “negative- U” properties of the oxygen vacancies in ZnO.

The interplay of landscape composition and configuration: new pathways to manage functional biodiversity and agroecosystem services across Europe
Managing agricultural landscapes to support biodiversity and ecosystem services is a key aim of a sustainable agriculture. However, how the spatial arrangement of crop fields and other habitats in landscapes impacts arthropods and their functions is poorly known. Synthesising data from 49 studies (1515 landscapes) across Europe, we examined effects of landscape composition (% habitats) and configuration (edge density) on arthropods in fields and their margins, pest control, pollination and yields. Configuration effects interacted with the proportions of crop and non-crop habitats, and species’ dietary, dispersal and overwintering traits led to contrasting responses to landscape variables. O…
Die selektive invers-voltammetrische Bestimmung des Antimons in salzsauren Lösungen nach Lösungswechsel in einer einfachen Durchflußzelle
The selective invers-voltammetric determination of antimony in a simple flow-through cell in hydrochloric acid solutions is described. After double medium exchange for post-electrolysis and inverse-voltammetric determination, the determination of antimony is possible in the presence of a large excess of copper, bismuth and other elements. The limit of determination is 0.2–0.3 ppb Sb, the reproducibility 1.5% (10 ppb Sb).
