1. Copper(II) bromide complexes : crystal structures, magnetic properties, and hydrogen-bond-mediated exchangeŽan Zakošek, Evgeny A. Goreshnik, Zvonko Jagličić, Srečo D. Škapin, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Copper(II) compounds exhibit interesting magnetic properties due to halide–halide, copper–halide, and intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. In this study, seven new copper(II) bromide complexes were synthesised, six of which contain Dabco (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) as a ligand. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were refined using both conventional spherical-atom models and a non-spherical-atom approach implemented in NoSpherA2. Magnetic properties were investigated by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetisation measurements, analysed using a molecular field approximation. Crystallographic analysis shows that NoSpherA2 significantly improves the description of hydrogen atom positions, yielding C–H and N–H bond lengths closer to neutron diffraction values than conventional refinement. Magnetic measurements indicate that interactions between mononuclear copper(II) centres are determined primarily by the nature of intermolecular exchange pathways rather than copper–copper separations alone. Despite comparable Cu···Cu distances, complexes lacking N–H···Br hydrogen bonds exhibit only weak antiferromagnetic interactions, whereas stronger coupling, effective up to 150 K, is observed when such hydrogen bonds connect neighbouring complexes. These results highlight the importance of hydrogen-bond topology and three-dimensional connectivity in governing magnetic behaviour in mononuclear copper(II) systems.

2. Pick-up of organic molecules by mixed Ar clusters : a function of gas properties and compositionJernej Ekar, Oksana Plekan, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Clusters present an intriguing field of research, with their properties bridging the gap between an isolated atom/molecule and a bulk. They can act as a substrate for dopant molecules picked up on the fly and located on or inside the cluster. Our research on Ar clusters reveals that gas pressure and composition are crucial parameters determining the pickup probability for molecules such as adenine, uracil, glycine, and ascorbic acid. For pure Ar expansion, the most intense molecular signals are observed in the stagnation pressure range between 10 and 30 bar. Adding up to 33 mol% of He or O2 at fixed total pressure causes no change in the intensity of dopant and Ar oligomer signals. The addition of N2O or CO2 results in a significant intensity drop, with signals from the molecule and Ar oligomers disappearing above 3 mol% of N2O or CO2. The opposite effects are observed with the Ar-H2 mixture at a pressure of 25 bar. Optimal results are obtained for H2 concentrations between 40 and 50 mol% versus D2 concentrations between 20 and 35 mol%. Substitution of Ar with an Ar-H2 mixture causes signal intensities of dopants and Ar oligomers to increase by more than threefold.

6. Anisotropy limitations in additive manufacturing with material extrusionBenjamin Podmiljšak, Matej Komelj, Anubhav Vishwakarma, Petra Jenuš, Sašo Šturm, Kristina Žužek Rožman, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Achieving anisotropy in additively manufactured composites is essential for high-performance functional materials but remains challenging in fused filament fabrication (FFF). This study investigates a field-assisted FFF approach using strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19)–polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites, in which particle alignment is induced by processing on top of a high-strength neodymium–iron–boron (Nd–Fe–B) magnet. Two configurations were compared: (i) a continuous setup, where the growing printed material remains in direct contact with the magnet and can act as a flux-guiding core, and (ii) a spacer-based setup, where non-magnetic spacers separate the print from the field source. Structural, functional (magnetic) measurements and finite element simulations (FEMM) were used to quantify the evolution of anisotropy as a function of build height. In the continuous configuration, particle alignment—and thus macroscopic anisotropy—remains high up to about 20 mm, with 0.90, and then gradually declines while still being detectable at 57.5 mm. Spacer-printed samples lose anisotropy much earlier, with approaching isotropic values (∼0.5) beyond 20–25 mm. Simulations reproduce these trends and show that previously deposited material acts as a flux-guiding path, sustaining a predominantly uniaxial field with height. The results define practical limits for static-field alignment in material-extrusion processing and provide geometry-dependent design rules for scalable fabrication of anisotropic ceramic–polymer composites. The findings are relevant for materials and process design in applications where controlled anisotropy is required over centimetre-scale dimensions.

8. Asymptotic limits of the axisymmetric solution of the Brinkman equation for a point force near a no-slip wallAbdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Andrej Vilfan, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We derive the far-field and near-field solutions for the Green’s function of a point force acting perpendicular to a no-slip wall in a Brinkman fluid, focusing on the regime where the distance between the force and the wall is much smaller than the screening length. The general solution is obtained in closed form up to a single integral, and can be systematically expanded in a Taylor series in both the far-field and near-field limits. The flow can then be expressed as a series of source-multipole singularities with an additional, analytically known, correction in the proximity of the wall. Comparisons with numerical integration demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the asymptotic expansions. The results are also applicable to the unsteady Stokes flow driven by a localised assembly of forces, such as a beating cilium protruding from a flat surface.

9. Human biomonitoring in support of the Minamata Convention : a case of phasing out dental amalgamVanja Usenik, Adna Alilović Osolin, Janja Snoj Tratnik, Marta Jagodic Hudobivnik, Darja Mazej, David Kocman, Davor Kontić, Milena Horvat, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: This study analysed urinary mercury (U-Hg) concentrations in 1412 Slovenian children across four human biomonitoring campaigns conducted between 2007 and 2024. Median U-Hg levels declined from 0.76 ng mL−1 (0.72 µg g−1 creatinine) in the 2007 PHIME cohort to 0.22 ng mL−1 (0.21 µg g−1 creatinine) in the 2018–2024 SLO-HBM-II cohort, paralleling a decrease in the prevalence (from 65 to 3%) and the average number of dental amalgam fillings in children. Multilevel mixed-effects models showed a consistent temporal decline in U-Hg that persisted after adjustment for demographic and environmental covariates. In contrast, the inclusion of the amalgam number substantially attenuated the time trend, indicating that reduced amalgam use likely contributed to the observed decrease. As amalgam prevalence fell, other sources of exposure, such as fish consumption, became relatively more prominent predictors of U-Hg, while children living in historically Hg-contaminated areas showed persistently higher levels. Although Slovenia had already phased down dental amalgam in children before ratifying the Minamata Convention, these long-term biomonitoring data illustrate how changes in exposure sources are reflected in internal Hg levels. The study demonstrates the value of repeated national HBM programmes for identifying dominant exposure pathways, investigating their evolution over time, and providing evidence relevant to effectiveness-evaluation frameworks under Article 22 of the Minamata Convention.

10. Robust disturbance reconstruction and compensation for nonlinear first-order systemMikuláš Huba, Pavol Bisták, Damir Vrančić, Miroslav Halas, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article discusses the control of nonlinear processes with first-order dominant dynamics, focusing on implementation using modern hardware available in various programmable devices and embedded systems. The first two approaches rely on linearization with an ultra-local process model, considering small changes of the process input and output around a fixed operating point, which can be adjusted through gain scheduling with the setpoint variable. This model is used to configure either the historically established automatic reset controller (ARC) or a stabilizing proportional (P) controller enhanced by an inversion-based disturbance observer (DOB). This solution can be interpreted as an application of modern control theory (MCT), as DOB-based control (DOBC) or as advanced disturbance rejection control (ADRC). Alternatively, they can be viewed as a special case of automatic offset control (AOC) based on two types of linear process models. In the third design method, setpoint tracking by exact linearization (EL) is extended with a nonlinear DOB designed using the inverse of the nonlinear process dynamics (EEL). The fourth approach augments EL-based tracking with a DOB derived from the transfer functions of nonlinear processes (NTF). An illustrative example involving the control of a liquid reservoir with a variable cross-section clarifies motivation for the definition of (linear) local and ultra-local process models as well as their advantages in designing robust control that accounts for process uncertainties. Thus, the speed, homogeneity, and shape of transient responses, the ability to reconstruct disturbances, control signal saturation, and measurement noise attenuation are evaluated according to the assumptions specified in the controller design. The novelty of the paper lies in presenting a unifying perspective on several seemingly different control options under the impact of measurement noise. By explaining their essence, advantages, and disadvantages, it provides a foundation for controlling more complex time-delayed systems. The paper emphasizes that certain aspects of controller design, often overlooked in traditional linearization procedures, can significantly improve closed-loop properties.
