- We demonstrate that muon tomography can be used to precisely measure the properties of various materials. The materials which have been considered have been extracted from an experimental blast furnace, including carbon (coke) and iron oxides, for which measurements of the linear scattering density relative to the mass density have been performed with an absolute precision of 10%. We report the procedures that are used in order to obtain such precision, and a discussion is presented to address the expected performance of the technique when applied to heavier materials. The results we obtain do not depend on the specific type of material considered and therefore they can be extended to any application.

- We investigate the performance of four Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) as catalysts for the selective degradation of ciprofloxacin in water, under both dark and illumination conditions. We show that no light is actually needed to induce a selective degradation of the molecular target, while light irradiation spurs the process, without, however, resulting in the commonly reported photolysis-supported breaking down. We present a systematic characterization of the PBAs aiming at interpreting the catalytic outcomes in the light of a classic coordination chemistry analysis, empowered by the most recent findings in literature. We show that varying the transition metal binding the N atom of the cyanide bridge is key to promote photoinduced charge generation and transfer, which effectively disrupts the molecular target. The analysis of the materials before and after the irradiation with solar simulated light results in a change of the lattice parameters, indicating the possibility of a light-induced spin cross-over.
