Electronic state of cobalt and manganese Prussian blue analogues were systematically investigated against Na+ intercalation by means of the infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The spectroscopies revealed that 3.8 and 3.4 V plateaus in the discharge curve of Na x Co[Fe(CN)6]0.902.9H2O (denoted as NCF90) are a…

Abstract A joint experimental and theoretical study of singlet exciton diffusion in spin‐coated poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films and its dependence on molecular weight is presented. The results show that exciton diffusion is fast along the co‐facial π–π aggregates of polymer chromophores and about 100 times slower…

BACKGROUND: Glioma stem cells in the quiescent state are resistant to clinical radiation therapy. An almost inevitable glioma recurrence is due to the persistence of these cells. The high linear energy transfer associated with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) could kill quiescent and proliferative cells. METHODS:…

We propose a numerical method, based on surface integral equations (SIE), for evaluating the second harmonic (SH) scattering by metal nanoparticles (NPs) of arbitrary shape, considering both nonlocal-bulk and local-surface SH sources, induced by the electromagnetic field at the fundamental frequency. We demonstrate th…

Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) selectively degrades the monomer of amyloidogenic peptides and contributes to clearance of amyloid β (Aβ). Thus, IDE retards the progression of Alzheimer's disease. IDE possesses an enclosed catalytic chamber that engulfs and degrades its peptide substrates; however, the molecular mechan…
