The inhibition in wave propagation at band gap energies plays a central role in many areas of technology such as electronics (electron gaps), nanophotonics (light gaps) and phononics (acoustic gaps), among others. Here we demonstrate that metal surfaces featuring free-electron-like bands may become semiconducting by p…
A biotemplating strategy for fabrication of metallic nanoparticle arrays has been developed. The templates are self-assembled DNA nanostructures, which dictate nanoparticle synthesis in the gas-solid phase (during thermal evaporation).
PCNA (proliferating-cell nuclear antigen) is a ring-shaped protein that encircles duplex DNA and plays an essential role in many DNA metabolic processes. The PCNA protein interacts with a large number of cellular factors and modulates their enzymatic activities. In the present paper, we summarize the structures, funct…
The function of biomolecules is intrinsically linked to their structure and the complexes they form during function. Techniques for the determination of structures and dynamics of these nanometre assemblies are therefore important for an understanding on the molecular level. PELDOR (pulsed electron-electron double res…
In the past year several groups have reported experimental evidence for spin-triplet supercurrents in Josephson junctions containing strong ferromagnetic materials. In this paper we present several new experimental results that follow up on our previous work. We study Josephson junctions of the form S/X/N/SAF/N/X/S, w…
Aluminosilicate and gallosilicate zeolite syntheses via a charge density mismatch (CDM) approach are compared at intermediate-silica compositions (Si/Me = 5-16, where Me is Al or Ga). With a variation of the crystallization temperature and of the type and/or concentration of alkali metal ions added as a crystallizatio…
Combining the one-dimensional tight-binding Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and the extended Hubbard model (EHM), we analyze the scattering and combination in conjugated polymers of two polarons with the same charges and parallel or antiparallel spins using a nonadiabatic evolution method. Results show that collision…
Adenine deaminase (ADE) catalyzes the conversion of adenine to hypoxanthine and ammonia. The enzyme isolated from Escherichia coli using standard expression conditions was low for the deamination of adenine (k(cat) = 2.0 s(-1); k(cat)/K(m) = 2.5 × 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)). However, when iron was sequestered with a metal che…
We investigate the $3.32 \mathrm{eV}$ defect-related emission band in GaN correlating transmission electron microscopy and spatially and spectrally resolved cathodoluminescence at low temperature. The band is unambiguously associated with basal plane stacking faults of type ${I}_{2}$, which are a common defect type in…
Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3) was obtained as large single crystals in high yield from reactions run in liquid indium. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data show that Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3) is an ordered variant of YbAuIn with lattice constants, a = b = 7.3153(8) Å and c = 4.4210(5) Å, and space group P(6)2m. The parent compound YbAuI…
Three-dimensional gel matrices provide specialized microenvironments that mimic native tissues and enable stem cells to grow and differentiate into specific cell types. Here, we show that collagen three-dimensional gel matrices prepared in combination with adhesive proteins, such as fibronectin (FN) and laminin (LN),…
The glass transition behavior and viscoelastic properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) in mixtures with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide are examined at compositions from 10 wt % polymer to pure polymer, over the temperature range from −180 to 230 °C. Polymers of two diffe…
Adult cartilage has a limited healing capacity. Damages resulting from disease or injury increase over time and cause severe pain. One approach to reinstate the cartilage function is tissue engineering (TE). However, the generation of TE cartilage is time consuming and expensive and its properties are so far suboptima…
A versatile nanoplatform based on magnetic glyconanoparticles (glyco-ferrites) to attach well-oriented antibodies is described. An efficient ligand exchange process has been used to prepare water-soluble 6-nm-sized core-shell Fe(3)O(4)@Au nanoparticles bearing amphiphilic carbohydrates and aliphatic ethylene glycol ch…
BACKGROUND: Concerns over the health effects of nanomaterials in the environment have created a need for microscopy methods capable of examining the biological interactions of nanoparticles (NP). Unfortunately, NP are beyond the diffraction limit of resolution for conventional light microscopy (~200 nm). Fluorescence…
A rare example of a microporous metal-organic phosphate, [Co(12)(L)(6)(μ(3)-PO(4))(4)(μ(3)-F)(4)(μ-H(2)O)(6)][NO(3)](2) (1), is synthesized by the reaction of a [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(II)](+)-functionalized terephthalate ligand with Co(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O and phosphate and fluoride ions generated from the in situ hydrolysis…
We propose an experimental scheme to cool and measure the three-dimensional (3D) motion of an optically trapped nanosphere in a cavity. Driven by three lasers on TEM00, TEM01, and TEM10 modes, a single cavity can cool a trapped nanosphere to the quantum ground states in all three dimensions under the resolved-sideband…
The benefits of using kinetic-energy information to aid ion discrimination in atom probe tomography (APT) are explored. Ion peak interferences in time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectra are categorized by difficulty of discrimination using TOF and kinetic-energy information. Several of these categories, which are intractabl…
Lanthanum oxide (La2O3) films were grown by the reactive dc magnetron sputtering and studied their structural, chemical and optical parameters. La2O3 films were deposited onto Si substrates by sputtering La-metal in a reactive gas (Ar+O2) mixture at a substrate temperature of 200 °C. Reflection high-energy electron di…
Variable-angle and Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry are used to determine the effective dielectric tensors of random and aligned silver nanoparticles and nanorods thin films. Randomly arranged particles are uniaxially anisotropic while aligned particles are biaxially anisotropic, with the anisotropy predomina…
