The 5-diethoxyphosphonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide superoxide spin adduct (DEPMPO-OOH) is much more persistent (about 15 times) than the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide superoxide spin adduct (DMPO-OOH). The diethoxyphosphonyl group is bulkier than the methyl group and its electron-withdrawing effect is much stron…

Many electroforming microstructures need their substrates to be bonded with electroforming layers in micromanufacturing. A controlling current density method to improve the adhesion performance of the copper substrate to the nickel electroforming layer was presented. Lower direct current density was employed to activa…

Two-dimensional periodic corrugation was introduced into the surface of metallic cathodes of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to extract surface plasmon energy, which is trapped in that surface, as free-space photons. The dependence of the improvement factor of the emission efficiency on the modulation depth of t…

MOS capacitors with the ZrHfO-AlOx-ZrHfO gate dielectric structure have been fabricated and studied for memory functions. Without the embedded AlOx film, the capacitor traps negligible amount of charges. With the embedded AlOx layer, the sample traps a large amount of holes or negligible amount of electrons depending…

In most cellular compartments cysteine residues are predominantly reduced. However, in the bacterial periplasm, the ER and the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS), sulfhydryl oxidases catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds. Nevertheless, many IMS proteins contain reduced cysteines that participate in binding me…
