Abstract One of the main challenges in the ongoing development of thin film crystalline silicon solar cells on a supporting silicon substrate is the implementation of a long‐wavelength reflector at the interface between the epitaxial layer and the substrate. IMEC has developed such a reflector based on electrochemical…

Two routes for the de novo biosynthesis of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) have been discovered and reconstituted in vitro. The most common pathway that organisms use is dependent upon the activity of just two enzymes, known as Pdx1 (YaaD) and Pdx2 (YaaE) in bacteria. Pdx2 has been shown to have glutaminase activity and…

Colored passive layers on Ti can be prepared by electrochemical means and their coloration can be switched reversibly between several colors by increasing or decreasing the AC voltage ( V AC ) in a stepwise manner. The coloration, which originates from iridescence, is directly related to the passive layer’s thickness…

Cerium oxide films equivalent to 2 ML of CeO 2 were grown at 520 K in an oxygen atmosphere on a clean Cu(111) substrate in order to prepare a model catalytic system. This “inverse model catalyst” was characterized by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of core levels, and res…

We report the quadratic nonlinearity of one- and two-electron oxidation products of the first series of transition metal complexes of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). Among many MTPP complexes, only CuTPP and ZnTPP show reversible oxidation/reduction cycles as seen from cyclic voltammetry experiments. While centrosymm…
