A protocol for the ab initio crystal structure determination of powdered solids at natural isotopic abundance by combining solid-state NMR spectroscopy, crystal structure prediction, and DFT chemical shift calculations was evaluated to determine the crysta ...
2D crystallography has proven to be an excellent technique to determine the 3D structure of membrane proteins. Compared to 3D crystallography, it has the advantage of visualizing the protein in an environment closer to the native one. However, producing go ...
An innovative class of coupling gratings for efficiently redirecting light beams is described. They are based on symmetric binary gratings equipped with an asymmetric high refractive index coating. This kind of structure exhibits a grating blaze effect and ...
We report on the self-catalysed growth of vertical InAs1-xPx nanowires on Si(111) substrates by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the mixed wurtzite and zincblende structure of the nanowires. Ene ...
Small-angle diffraction of polarized neutrons and resonant contribution to diffraction of synchrotron radiation have been applied to prove chirality of the crystal and magnetic structures of the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3. Similarly to other chiral ...
Organic-inorganic halide perovskite (OIHP) compounds are very interesting materials for device application in, for example, solar cells, electro-optics, and electronic circuits. In this report, we investigated OIHPs reported as CH3NH3PbI3-xClx (MAPbI 3-xCl ...
In the present paper, the performance of Biot's theory is investigated for wave propagation in cellular and porous solids with entrained fluid for configurations with well-known drained (no fluid) mechanical properties. Cellular solids differ from porous s ...
The light transport matrix has become a powerful tool for scene relighting, owing to the versatility of its representational power of various light transport phenomenon. We argue that scenes with an almost planar surface geometry, even with significant amo ...
Traditional neutron tomography allows to reconstruct the attenuation cross section, a measure for the material distribution, at high spatial resolution and non-destructively. However, it does not state anything about the ordering structure of the atoms ins ...
We have used accurate convergent beam electron diffraction to determine the structure factors of the reflections most sensitive to the valence-electron distribution in Mg2Si. The experimental values agree well with calculations of the structure factors bas ...
