Pure 2-iodo-9,9'-spirobifluorene was synthesized by an efficient method without troublesome iodination of 9,9-spirobifluorene (SP) or the Sandmeyer reaction of 2-amino-9,9'-spirobifluorene. A series of main group element-bridged bis-9,9'-spirobifluorene derivatives were synthesized via coupling reactions of 2-iodo-9,9…

In this paper, we present a method for the mathematically formulated phase engineering of interfering laser beams through a spatial light modulator for a holographic fabrication of graded photonic lattices. The desired phases can be programmed at specific locations by assigning gray levels in cellular structures. The…

To answer the growing need for more versatile integrated spectral filters, we show that weak one-dimensional gratings can be designed towards any desired target spectrum. We follow a very straightforward design procedure to demonstrate the performance of these devices. Measurements and simulations show a very good cor…

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has potential to treat various neurological disorders noninvasively and safely. There has been significant work on coil designs for use on the human brain; however, there are fewer reports on the coil design for small animal brains, such as mice. Such work is essential to valida…

Orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) directly solves for the ground-state electron density. It scales linearly with respect to system size, providing a promising tool for large-scale material simulations. Removal of the orbitals requires use of approximate noninteracting kinetic energy density functionals. I…

Despite many years of intensive studies, γ-secretase complex assembly and maturation as well as the precise localization of its active form are still the subject of some controversy (St George-Hyslop and Fraser, 2012). Many lines of evidence show that γ-secretase subunits localize to almost all compartments of the cel…

Amorphous silicon/crystalline silicon (a-Si/c-Si) micromorph tandem cells, with best confirmed efficiency of 12.3%, have yet to fully approach their theoretical performance limits. In this work, we consider a strategy for improving the light trapping and charge collection of a-Si/c-Si micromorph tandem cells using ran…

The Hartman–Perdok analysis has been carried out on the monoclinic P 2 1 / c polymorph of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) in order to find the character of the main {hkl} forms and foresee the possible profiles of the related surfaces. Then, the corresponding specific surface energies have been calculated, at 0 K, by ab initio q…
