Defect engineered nanostructured LaFeO3 photoanodes for improved activity in solar water oxidation

Kevin Sivula, Mounir Driss Mensi, Liang Yao, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Yongpeng Liu, Xavier Pereira Da Costa

LaFeO3 (LFO) is recognized as a candidate material for solar water oxidation, but its photoelectrochemical response remains modest and stagnant. With the aim of advancing LFO photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), here, a nanorod array-type e ...

Effects of quantum-well indium content on deep defects and reliability of InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes with under layer

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Haller

We investigate the density of defects and the degradation rate in InGaN light-emitting diodes having identical dislocation density and epitaxial structure, but different indium content in the quantum well (QW; 12%, 16%, 20%). Our results, based on combined ...

Catalyzing Bond-Dissociation in Graphene via Alkali-Iodide Molecules

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Atomic design of a 2D-material such as graphene can be substantially influenced by etching, deliberately induced in a transmission electron microscope. It is achieved primarily by overcoming the threshold energy for defect formation by controlling the kine ...

Systematic design of millisecond gasification reactor for the incorporation of gas-sieving nanopores in single-layer graphene

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li

Etching an ensemble of vacancy defects (nanopores) in single-layer graphene (SLG) to obtain a high density of nanopores with an effective size that enables high-performance gas sieving is challenging. This is because nanopore nucleation and expansion are u ...

Computational methods for live heart imaging with speed-constrained microscopes

Olivia Mariani

Imaging methods to capture the beating and developing heart inside embryonic animal models such as the zebrafish are a key component for the study of fundamental biological processes such as cardiac birth defects or tissue regeneration. However, live heart ...

Finite-size corrections of defect energy levels involving ionic polarization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Julia Anna Wiktor

We develop a scheme for finite-size corrections of vertical transition energies and single-particle energy levels involving defect states with built-in ionic polarization in supercell calculations. The method accounts on an equal footing for the screening ...

Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers

Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecular monomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions. In recent years, great efforts have been directed toward perfecting ...

Improving delamination resistance through tailored defects

John Botsis

Delamination is a well-known damage mode exhibited by laminated composites which has been extensively studied in unidirectional laminates (UD). In this work, a novel strategy consisting of the introduction of a small interlaminar defect to enhance the frac ...

GaAs nanoscale membranes: prospects for seamless integration of III-Vs on silicon

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Luca Francaviglia, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Vladimir Dubrovskii, Sara Marti Sanchez, Andres Maria Raya Bejarano

The growth of compound semiconductors on silicon has been widely sought after for decades, but reliable methods for defect-free combination of these materials have remained elusive. Recently, interconnected GaAs nanoscale membranes have been used as templa ...

Template-assisted electrodeposition of nickel and nickel copper 3D microcomponents

Patrik Schürch

New types of metamaterials and architectured material require metallic materials with precise structural design in the microscale. However, additivemanufacturing of metallic structures in themicroscale has proven difficult, as the demand for the material q ...

Template-assisted grown III-V semiconductor nanowires: A transmission electron microscopy study

Nicolas Bologna

III-V semiconductor nanowires are, due to their unique properties, one of the most promising nanostructures developed in the last decades. However, the realization of commercial devices made of III-V nanowires, such as transistors and solar cells, has not ...

Vertical Ionization Energies and Electron Affinities of Native and Damaged DNA Bases, Nucleotides, and Pairs from Density Functional Theory Calculations: Model Assessment and Implications for DNA Damage Recognition and Repair

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Polydefkis Diamantis

To assess the effect of an 8-oxoguanine (8OG) defect base on the vertical ionization energies (VIEs) and electron affinities (VEAs) of DNA, density functional theory calculations were carried out for native and defect DNA bases and nucleotides, as well as ...

Increasing N content in GaNAsP nanowires suppresses the impact of polytypism on luminescence

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Luca Francaviglia

Cathodoluminescence (CL) and micro-photoluminescence spectroscopies are employed to investigate effects of structural defects on carrier recombination in GaNAsP nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates. In the NWs with a low N conte ...

Mutations in Bcl9 and Pygo genes cause congenital heart defects by tissue-specific perturbation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling

Michel Aguet

Bcl9 and Pygopus (Pygo) are obligate Wnt/beta-catenin cofactors in Drosophila, yet their contribution to Wnt signaling during vertebrate development remains unresolved. Combining zebrafish and mouse genetics, we document a conserved, beta-catenin-associate ...
