The structure and resistive properties of buried ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3}$ layers between two insulating ${\mathrm{LaVO}}_{3}$ layers are investigated by varying the thickness of the ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3}$ layers between 3 and 35 monolayers. The thickest ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3}$ layer shows a bulklike metallic behavior, while…

Two diazaporphyrin (DAP)-porphyrin hetero dimers, in β-meso and β-β configurations, were prepared to study their photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer properties. The two meso nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin ring of DAP change its redox potential, making DAP more easily reduced, compared to its porphyrin count…

The electronic structure of CaO films of 10--60 monolayer thickness grown on Mo(001) has been investigated with synchrotron-mediated x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Upon annealing or reducing the thickness of the film, a rigid shift of the CaO bands to lower energy is re…

An effective and facile route of solvent-transfer assisted photolithography (STAP) was explored to successfully fabricate uprightly standing high-density (HD) and high-aspect-ratio (HAR) micropillar arrays with excellent superhydrophobicity. The collapse problem that frequently occurs with the HAR micro or nano-struct…

Self‐organized pattern formation is a phenomenon that can be used for nanoscale pattering of large surface areas in a cost‐effective manner. We exploit the phenomenon and fabricate sub‐micron polystyrene wrinkle structures and demonstrate that after being coated with silver, they can be used as surface‐enhanced Raman…
