The introduction of direct electron detectors (DED) to cryo-electron microscopy has tremendously increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and quality of the recorded images. We discuss the optimal use of DEDs for cryo-electron crystallography, introduce a ...
The mechanism for the growth of 3D ZnO nanowall networks in nest-like structure by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique have been investigated for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and biosensor applications. As complex oxides shift towards large vol ...
Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained materials show enhanced strain rate sensitivity (SRS) in comparison to their coarse grained counterparts. Majority of SRS measurements on nanocrystalline thin films reported in literature have focused on nanoindentatio ...
Electron crystallography is used to study membrane proteins in the form of planar, two-dimensional (2D) crystals, or other crystalline arrays such as tubular crystals. This method has been used to determine the atomic resolution structures of bacteriorhodo ...
Nickel/ceramic solid oxide fuel cell anodes exhibit a dimensional instability when experiencing a reduction-oxidation cycle. As fuel is supplied on the anode side, the as-sintered nickel oxide phase (NiO) reduces to metallic Ni and then remains in this sta ...
The effects of 107 MeV Kr-84(17+) ion irradiation on YBa2Cu3O7-x-based second-generation coated conductors were investigated using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, diffraction and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry. Defects 3-5 nm in di ...
The stochastic nature of biological systems makes the study of individual cells a necessity in systems biology. Yet, handling and disruption of single cells and the analysis of the relatively low concentrations of their protein components still challenges ...
Until now, only two intrinsically two-dimensional materials have been isolated: graphene and boron nitride (BN). As a consequence, the knowledge of two-dimensional systems is still limited and other classes of two-dimensional materials are needed to enrich ...
Carbon nanotubes with unique physical and mechanical properties have shown great potential for biological applications, including tissue engineering and mimicking the structure and properties of human bones. In the present work, sol-gel synthesized nanocom ...
In this work, the effects of vanadium addition in the range of 0.3-3% (in weight percent) for an oxide dispersion strengthened reduced activation ferritic (ODS RAF) steel were investigated. Samples of the V-modified steel have been prepared using elemental ...
