Epitaxial strain can induce the formation of morphotropic phase boundary in lead free ferroelectrics like bismuth ferrite, thereby enabling the coexistence of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases in the same film. The relative ratio of these phases is governed by the film thickness and theoretical studies suggest that t…

Electrospinning constitutes a simple and versatile approach of fabricating polymer heterostructures composed of nanofibers. A preferred alignment of polymer crystallites stems from complex shear elongational forces and generates a strong intrinsic optical anisotropy in typical electrospun fibers of semicrystalline pol…

The single n-ZnO:In/i-ZnO/p-GaN-heterostructured n-i-p nanorod was deposited using a vapor cooling condensation system. The photoelectrochemical system was used to directly passivate the nanorod sidewall surface with a Zn(OH)2 layer. The electrical performance of the passivated and unpassivated single nanorod was meas…

Force field molecular dynamics simulations on a decapeptide in contact with a rutile (100) surface in aqueous solution are reported. The peptide sequence is part of α(1)-collagen. Force-distance curves yield discrete peaks to the rupture of charged lysine and glutamate side chains from the surface according to the mod…

We have initiated a broad-based program aimed at understanding the molecular basis of fluorine specificity in enzymatic systems, and in this context, we report crystallographic and biochemical studies on a fluoroacetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) specific thioesterase (FlK) from Streptomyces cattleya. Our data establish that FlK…

Interdiffusion has been studied in Ag/Au hemispherical core-shell structures on sapphire substrate. In isothermal heat treatments first a relatively fast growth of nanovoids was observed, which was followed by a slower shrinkage process. The void formation is interpreted by pure Kirkendall-porosity formation since Ag-…

Variable-field Hall measurements were performed on epitaxial graphene grown on Si-face and C-face SiC. The carrier transport involves essentially a single-type of carrier in few-layer graphene, regardless of SiC face. However, in multilayer graphene (MLG) grown on C-face SiC, the Hall measurements indicated the existe…
