Using Raman spectroscopy and lysozyme, this latter as model protein, we investigate the differences in protein conformation before and after LB nanotemplate-induced crystal nucleation and growth. It was found that the main difference in lysozyme conformation is associated to the higher amount of S-S bonds in lysozyme…

Silicon carbide N H-SiC polytypes with N = 2, 4, 6, and 8 are considered as substrates for the epitaxial formation of graphene. The density of states for the substrates is described using the Haldane-Anderson model. It is shown that this model always leads to the appearance of two gaps in the graphene spectrum, which…

Polydentate ligands were used to support planar methoxo-bridged {Ni(6-x)Co(x)} (x = 0, 1 or 2) clusters which were structurally characterized by single crystal analyses. The homometallic {Ni6} complex displayed overall ferrimagnetic interactions between metal centres, and increasing the cobalt content led to a proport…

The nanowire with an aspect ratio of 3 : 1 possesses a higher bending stress of 15.85 GPa. It can be observed that the initial Si-Si bond and N atom defects with a coordination number of 2, subsequently evolving to 0 and 1, with Si evolving from 5 to 6 and 7, are mainly responsible for the final fracture.
