We report substantially enlarged lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE) in the ZnO/Ag/Si nanostructures. The maximum LPE sensitivity (55.05 mv/mm) obtained in this structure is about seven times larger than that observed in the control sample (7.88 mv/mm) of ZnO/Si. We attribute this phenomenon to the strong localized surf…

We propose an alternative class of magneto-optical metamaterials offering enhanced angle of rotation in polarization compared to pure magneto-optical materials. In this approach, the permittivity tensor of a magneto-optical material is tailored by embedded wire meshes. We show that the angle of rotation in the magneto…

For phosphor‐converted warm white light‐emitting diodes ( WLED s), it is essential to find highly efficient red oxide phosphors, which are better chemically stable and benign to environment and can be prepared in a much milder condition. Here, we report a red phosphor LiNaGe 4 O 9 :Mn 4+ with a quantum yield up to 78%…

AIM: After in vivo implantation of cell-loaded devices, only the cells close to the capillaries can obtain nutrients to maintain their functions. It is known that factors secreted by stem cells, rather than stem cells themselves, are fundamental to guarantee new vascularization in the area of implant. MATERIALS & METH…

We investigate formation of nano- to microscale peptide fibers and sheets where assembly requires association of two distinct collagen mimetic peptides (CMPs). The multicomponent nature of these designs allows the decoupling of amino acid contributions to peptide folding versus higher-order assembly. While both argini…
