The mechanism of plastic deformation in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is widely believed to be based on a shear transformation zone (STZ). This model assumes that a shear-induced atomic rearrangement occurs at local clusters that are a few to hundreds of atoms in size. It was recently postulated that the potential ener…

Molybdenum disulfide is a promising candidate for the anode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity. However, volume change during cycling causes poor cycling stability and rate performance, and improving cycle life is a major research challenge. Herein, we present a strategy by…

We report a study of the effects of charge transfer on electrical properties of CdO/SnTe heterostructures. A series of structures with variable SnTe thicknesses were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. Because of an extreme type III band offset with the valence band edge of SnTe located at 1.5 eV above the conductio…

Inspired by the silicide technology in manufacturing silicon devices and the ongoing lack of knowledge on post-metallization annealing in realizing oxide devices, we investigated post-contact annealing for solution-processed InGaZnO transistors. Low-temperature annealing in air is found to significantly improve device…

Abstract We present a comprehensive investigation into the tunable combustion of on‐chip porous silicon energetic materials. The exothermic reaction occurs between high surface area nanoscale porous silicon and a solution‐deposited sodium perchlorate oxidizer that penetrates each pore. The resulting burn rates spanned…

In Mexico Agave angustifolia has traditionally been used to treat inflammation. The aim of this study was to measure the anti-inflammatory effect of the extract of A. angustifolia, the isolation and identification of active compounds. From the acetone extract two active fractions were obtained, (AsF13 and AaF16). For…

Abstract A polymeric film of Alizarin Red S was formed on a glassy carbon electrode and used for electrochemical detection of Levodopa (L‐DOPA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). The sensor represented excellent electrocatalytic activity for their oxidations. The resultant differential…

We examine the internal structure of milk casein micelles using the contrast variation method in Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). Experiments were performed with casein dispersions of different origins (i.e., milk powder or fresh milk) and extended to very low q-values (∼9 × 10(-4) Å(-1)), thus making it possibl…

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been widely used for intraocular lenses (IOL) but may lead to posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after implantation due to its undesirable hydrophilicity and surface morphology. A novel methacrylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-co-poly methyl methacrylate copolymer…

Intrinsic and n-type Ge 1– y Sn y alloys with y = 0.003–0.11 have been grown on Ge-buffered Si via reactions of Ge 3 H 8 and SnD 4 hydrides using UHV-CVD techniques. The films exhibit large thicknesses ( t > 600 nm), low dislocation densities (10 7 /cm 2 ), planar surfaces (AFM RMS ≈ 2 for intrinsic films) and mostly…

We develop a method for realizing coherent perfect absorption in thin metamaterial systems, based on the coupled-mode theory of Fano resonance. Coherent perfect absorption refers to the complete absorption of symmetric plane waves incident on opposite sides of the system, due to critical coupling into the dissipative…

How do the folding mechanisms of multidomain proteins depend on protein topology? We addressed this question by developing an Ising-like structure-based model and applying it for the analysis of free-energy landscapes and folding kinetics of an example protein, Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). DHFR has…
