Abstract We studied computationally the effects of TeO defects on the distribution of reduced centers, V4+, in the MoVNbTeO M1 bulk material. To this end, we selected a distribution of V and Mo centers, constructed models with periodic boundary conditions, and applied a hybrid DFT approach. We identified two main fact…

Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates are believed to be one of the main causes of Alzheimer's disease. Aβ peptides form fibrils having cross β-sheet structures mainly through primary nucleation, secondary nucleation, and elongation. In particular, self-catalyzed secondary nucleation is of great interest. Here, we investigate the…

An appropriately designed periodic lattice in graphene can cause plasmonic modes, absorbing a specific THz frequency band, minimizing transmission. A suitable Fabry-Perot cavity, on the other hand, can resonate at another desired frequency in the nearby THz band, enhancing the transmittance. Integrating, these two typ…

Due to mass diffusion issues, it is challenging to prepare black-phase thick formamidinium-based perovskite (FAPbI 3 ) films via vapor approaches. Precursor engineering is employed here to overcome the dilemma of thorough reaction and black-phase stabilization of FAPbI 3 in a sequential vapor approach. For the first t…
