In this study, we demonstrated high efficiency InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) with asymmetric triangular multiple quantum wells (MQWs). Asymmetric triangular MQWs not only contribute to uniform carrier distribution in InGaN/GaN MQWs but also yield a low Auger recombination rate. In addition, asymmetric triangu…

The aggregation processes of amyloid-β-(16-22) peptides (Aβ16-22) are investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is found that Aβ16-22 peptides quickly aggregate from monomers to oligomers and flakelike structures and finally to fibrils. In particular, unusual morphology change is observed in an early stage of…

The high-frequency mobility of positive charges (holes) moving along the backbones of an extensive data set of 7 oligomers ( n = 2–16) and 6 polymers (⟨ n ⟩ = 26–138) of fluorene was measured using pulse-radiolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (PR-TRMC) in benzene. As expected, at 8.9 GHz, the measured isotrop…

Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) represent one major motor disability of Parkinson's disease (PD) therapy. Thus, research effort is still devoted to finding agents that may improve parkinsonism and concomitantly reduce or avoid dyskinesia. Rodent and nonhuman primate models provide useful tools to study the molecul…
