This letter reports on the negative charge trapping in Al2O3 thin films grown by atomic layer deposition onto oxidized silicon carbide (4H-SiC). The films exhibited a permittivity of 8.4, a breakdown field of 9.2 MV/cm and small hysteresis under moderate bias cycles. However, severe electron trapping inside the Al2O3…

The challenge of mimicking the extracellular matrix with artificial scaffolds that are able to reduce immunoresponse is still unmet. Recent findings have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) infiltrating into the implanted scaffold have effects on the implant integration by improving the healing process. Toward thi…

A new solid-state dedicated circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) instrument (CPL-200CD) was successfully developed for measuring true CPL spectra for optically anisotropic samples on the basis of the Stokes-Mueller matrix approach. Electric components newly installed in the CPL-200CD include a pulse motor-driven sa…

Charge and exciton transport in organic semiconductors is crucial for a variety of optoelectronic applications. The prediction of the material‐dependent exciton diffusion length and the charge carrier mobility is a prerequisite for tailoring new materials for organic electronics. At room temperature often a hopping pr…

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were covalently coated with antioxidant molecules, namely, caffeic acid (MSN-CAF) or rutin (MSN-RUT), in order to diminish the impact of oxidative stress induced after transfection into cells, thus generating safer carriers used for either drug delivery or other applications. Two…

We explore the effect of deliberately increased particle roughness on the rheology of noncolloidal suspensions of spheres, both in Newtonian (polydimethylsiloxane or silicone oil) and non-Newtonian (Boger fluid) matrices. The object of the experiment is to change only the roughness of the spheres, while leaving the de…

We present results from the comparison of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) simulations with data from the implosions of inertial confinement fusion capsules with separated reactants performed on the OMEGA laser facility. Each capsule, referred to as a “CD Mixcap,” is filled with tritium and has a polystyrene (CH…

OBJECTIVE: This work aimed at preparing ginsenoside compound K (GCK)-loaded liposomes modified with TPGS (GCKT-liposomes) to enhance solubility and targeting capability of GCK, as well as inhibit the efflux of GCK from tumour cells. METHODS: GCKT-liposomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method and characteri…

Specially designed intermediate carrier blocking layers (ICBLs) in multi-active regions of III-nitride LEDs were shown to be effective in controlling the carrier injection distribution across the active regions. In principle, the majority of carriers, both holes and electrons, can be guided into targeted quantum wells…

We explore the emergence of chiral magnetism in one-dimensional monatomic Mn, Fe, and Co chains deposited at the Pt(664) step edge carrying out an ab initio study based on density functional theory (DFT). The results are analyzed employing several models: (i) a micromagnetic model, which takes into account the Dzyalos…

Poor adsorption of reactants and intermediates as well as low mineralization rate greatly restrict the application of common semiconductor photocatalyst TiO 2 for air purification. A plausible solution would be to integrate metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) materials with good gas adsorption property with traditional ph…

Core Ideas The formation and dissolution of CdS were investigated in low‐ and high‐S soils. CdS reached 90% in the high‐S soil but did not exceed 35% in the low‐S soil. Cd dissolved rapidly at soil Eh >435 mV (low‐S soil) and >529 mV (high‐S soil). A prolonged flooding during rice ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivation is rec…

A striking prediction in topological insulators is the appearance of the quantized Hall resistance when the surface states are magnetized. The surface Dirac states become gapped everywhere on the surface, but chiral edge states remain on the edges. In an applied current, the edge states produce a quantized Hall resist…
