Zinc blende-wurtzite polytypism in nanocrystalline ZnO films

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Sylvain Nicolay, Arthur Brian Aebersold, Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Lorenzo Fanni

ZnO is commonly observed and assumed to crystallize fully in a wurtzite structure. Indeed, While polytypism between a wurtzite and a zinc blende phase is often seen in some II-VI compounds, it has only rarely been observed in ZnO. Here, by means of automat ...

Synthesis of Responsive Two-Dimensional Polymers via Self-Assembled DNA Networks

Ulrich Aschauer, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Hao Yu

Despite a growing interest in two-dimensional polymers, their rational synthesis remains a challenge. The solution-phase synthesis of a two-dimensional polymer is reported. ADNA-based monomer self-assembles into a supra-molecular network, which is further ...

Geometrical Effect in 2D Nanopores

Andras Kis, Aleksandra Radenovic, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Davide Deiana, Ke Liu, Dumitru Dumcenco, Martina Lihter, Vasiliki Tileli, Aditya Sarathy

A long-standing problem in the application of solid-state nanopores is the lack of the precise control over the geometry of artificially formed pores compared to the well-defined geometry in their biological counterpart, that is, protein nanopores. To date ...

Protein Corona: Impact of Lymph Versus Blood in a Complex In Vitro Environment

Heinrich Hofmann, Ulrich Aschauer, Marc Moniatte, Diego Chiappe, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Débora Bonvin

In biological environments, the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) are modified by protein corona (PC) that determines their biological behavior. Unfortunately, in vitro tests still give different PC than in vivo tests causing in vitro-in vivo discrepancy; hen ...

Morphology, microstructure, crystallography, and chemistry of distinct CaCO3 deposits formed by early recruits of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Anders Meibom, Melany Melissa Gilis, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Scleractinian corals begin their biomineralization process shortly after larval settlement with the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures at the interface between the larval tissues and the substrate. The newly settled larvae exert variable deg ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles supported on activated carbon fibers catalyze chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes under mild conditions

Lioubov Kiwi, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander

Highly dispersed iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on structured supports of activated carbon fibers (ACF). Systematic catalyst characterizations suggest that ACF-based catalysts remain ultra-microporous after Fe2O3 NPs (similar ...
