Atomic carbon on Co(0001), deposited by ethylene decomposition, forms islands with a (√3 × √3)R30° structure at low C coverage (∼0.2 ML), whereas a high C coverage (0.5 ML, saturation) induces a reconstruction of the cobalt surface. Atomic carbon weakens the adsorption of CO and H 2, but even a saturated atomic carbon…

Glycerol is considered as an ideal feedstock for producing bioplastics via bacterial fermentation due to its ubiquity, low price, and high degree of reduction substrate. In this work, we study the yield and cause of limitation in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production from glycerol. Compared to glucose-based PHB pro…

Structure-adjustable capsules are fabricated from inorganic components by using a self-template dissolution-regrowth mechanism to give flake-shell silica microcapsules. The capsules shrink under thermal stimulus and their structures can be adjusted by treatment at different pH values. Tuning of shell pore diameters le…

Pristine, single-crystalline graphene displays a unique collection of remarkable electronic properties that arise from its two-dimensional, honeycomb structure. Using in situ low-energy electron microscopy, we show that when deposited on the (111) surface of Au carbon forms such a structure. The resulting monolayer, e…

We have measured the intrinsic exciton dephasing in high-quality zinc blende CdSe/CdS colloidal quantum dots in the temperature range from 5 to 170 K using a sensitive three-beam photon echo technique in heterodyne detection, which is not affected by spectral diffusion. Pure dephasing via acoustic phonons dominates th…

We study experimentally and theoretically a dense ensemble of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond coupled to a high-$Q$ superconducting coplanar waveguide cavity mode at low temperature. The nitrogen-vacancy centers are modeled as effective spin-one defects with inhomogeneous frequency distribution.…

Epitaxial thin films of titanium perovskite oxyhydride ATiO(3-x)H(x) (A = Ba, Sr, Ca) were prepared by CaH(2) reduction of epitaxial ATiO(3) thin films deposited on a (LaAlO(3))(0.3)(SrAl(0.5)Ta(0.5)O(3))(0.7) substrate. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy detected a substantial amount and uniform distribution of hydride…

In this work, we investigated the temperature-dependent luminescence of bovine serum albumin-protected Au 25 nanoclusters and the correlation with their structure. Our experiments reveal that the red luminescence consists of two bands, namely, band I at 710 nm and band II at 640 nm. The temperature dependence of band…

NiO6-octahedral tilts in ultrathin LaNiO3 films were studied using position averaged convergent beam electron diffraction (PACBED) in scanning transmission electron microscopy. Both the type and magnitude of the octahedral tilts were determined by comparing PACBED experiments to frozen phonon multislice simulations. I…

We develop an effective medium approach to characterize the propagation of matter waves in periodic structures, such as graphene or semiconductor superlattices. It is proven that the time evolution of the states that are not more localized in space than the characteristic period of the structure can be described exact…

Numerical simulations of aluminum (Al) and tungsten (W) granular composite rings under various dynamic loading conditions due to explosive loading were performed. Three competing mechanisms of fragmentation were observed: a continuum level mechanism generating macrocracks with a size scale comparable to the case width…

By directly measuring electrical hysteresis loops using the Positive-Up Negative-Down (PUND) method, we determined accurately the remanent ferroelectric polarization ${P}_{r}$ of orthorhombic $R$MnO${}_{3}$ ($R$ $=$ Ho, Tm, Yb, and Lu) compounds below their $E$-type spin ordering temperatures. We found that LuMnO${}_{…

In the Drosophila ovary, germline stem cells (GSCs) physically interact with their niche composed of terminal filament cells, cap cells, and possibly GSC-contacting escort cells (ECs). A GSC divides to generate a self-renewing stem cell that remains in the niche and a differentiating daughter that moves away from the…

We observe a giant spin-orbit splitting in bulk and surface states of the non-centrosymmetric semiconductor BiTeI. We show that the Fermi level can be placed in the valence or in the conduction band by controlling the surface termination. In both cases it intersects spin-polarized bands, in the corresponding surface d…

The rate of degradation of large-scale synthesized polylactide (PLA) of industrial origin was compared with that of laboratory-scale synthesized poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) of similar molar mass. The structural discrepancy between the two material types resulted in a significant difference in degradation rate. Although the…
