We present a high-speed light-emitting-diode (LED) design for efficient modulation at speeds higher than 10 GHz. It relies on a tensile-strain GaAsP quantum well coupled with surface plasmon polaritons on a silver surface. We present optical pumping experiments showing a tenfold reduction in carrier lifetime when the…

Abstract Three for the price of one : The reaction of tetracyanoquinodimethane with an aromatic amine is shown to follow an unusual course leading to three products in a single pot. The product molecules form a family of materials with contrasting optical responses, in that they exhibit light emission of different col…

Nanogrowth twins (GTs) have been observed in CoFe2O4 (CFO) epitaxial thin films deposited on (111) oriented SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The GTs form during nucleation and growth and consist of CFO growth regions that have a mirror relationship with respect to each other. We show that the films with G…

Heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth of twin-free diamond on Ir(111) is reported. The bias enhanced nucleation (BEN) technique was applied in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition setup to induce diamond nucleation on the new multilayer stack Ir/YSZ/Si(111). We demonstrate that the gathering of the diamond nuc…

Vitamin B(6) is essential in all organisms, due to its requirement as a cofactor in the form of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) for key metabolic enzymes. It can be synthesized de novo by either of two pathways known as deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate (DXP)-dependent and DXP-independent. The DXP-independent pathway is the pred…
