Photosensitive multilayered films were fabricated via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly based on 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl-porphyrin (APP) terminated poly-L-lysine (APP-PLL) and DNA (herring sperm). It was found that the distinctive absorbance of porphyrin at 425 nm after light illumination decreased linearly w…

We report a neutron diffraction study of the magnetic phase transitions in the charge-density wave (CDW) TbTe(3) compound. We discover that in the paramagnetic phase there are strong 2D-like magnetic correlations, consistent with the pronounced anisotropy of the chemical structure. A long-range incommensurate magnetic…

Adsorption of Pb monomers (Pb-m) and Pb dimers (Pb-d) on graphene containing single vacancies was studied using density functional theory. We found that both Pb-m and Pb-d can chemically bind to graphene and turn the systems into semiconductors with moderate energy gaps. The spin–orbit (SO) splitting of the bands is s…
