The crystal structures of red and blue-black tin(II) oxide, SnO, have been determined for the first time by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Blue-black SnO crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nmm, representing a layer structure consisting...
Tissue engineering (TE) and nanomedicine require devices with hydrophilic surfaces to better interact with the biological environment. This work presents a study on the wettability of cubic silicon-carbide-based (SiC) surfaces. We developed four cubi...
This article mainly studies the improvement of the properties of the 1Cr18Ni9Ti material after laser shock peening. The 1Cr18Ni9Ti material is the main material used to make aviation ducts, and improving the fatigue life of aviation ducts can signifi...
The insulator-to-metal transition upon the thermal reduction of perovskites is a well-known yet not completely understood phenomenon. By combining different surface-sensitive analysis techniques, we analyze the electronic transport properties, electr...
Low fracture toughness has been a major barrier for the structural applications of cast Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys. In this work, the tensile properties and fracture toughness of a direct-chill-cast Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.5Zr (VW94K) alloy were investigated in different...
This study is devoted to the morphological/dynamic instability analysis of directional crystallization processes in finite domains with allowance for melt convection. At first, a linear instability theory for steady-state crystallization with a plana...
Monolayer MoS2 has emerged as a highly promising candidate for next-generation electronics. However, the production of monolayer MoS2 with a high yield and low cost remains a challenge that impedes its practical application. Here, a significant break...
Aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) catalyzes the biosynthesis of several essential amino acids, including lysine, methionine, and threonine, and bacterial cell components. Thus, ASADH is a crucial target for developing new antimicrobial age...
High-quality single crystals with empirical composition Y2.96Sm0.04Ga5O12 (YGG: Sm3+) were successfully prepared by the optical floating zone method for the first time and compared with related single crystals of Y2.96Sm0.04Al5O12 (YAG: Sm3+). With b...
We present the results of a twofold experimental and computational study of (0001) GaN/AlN multilayers forming pseudomorphic superlattices. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) shows that heterostructures with four c-lattice param...
