Understanding grain morphology and kinetics of solid-phase crystallization is important for controlling the functional properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, in situ coherent X-ray diffraction imaging and transmission electron microscopy elucidate ...

III-V semiconductors outperform Si in many optoelectronics applications due to their high carrier mobility, efficient light emission and absorption processes, and the possibility to engineer their band gap through alloying. However, complementing Si techno ...

In this work, by combining an asymmetric Silicon immersion lens configuration and a complementary resonator design, far-field transmission measurement of a single subwavelength split-ring resonator, ultra-strongly coupled to inter Landau level transitions ...

Biopolymers often show deterministic chain folding templated by repeat unit sequences whose conformations are locked in by intramolecular interactions. In this work, we have used repeat units based on rigid anthracene or acridine scaffolds, which we refer ...

Electron microscopy offers a wide range of techniques to study materials. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), in particular, allows the characterisation of samples at high-temperature using a laser heating stage, and under various gaseous at ...

A series of cross-linked ionic polymers based on styrene-functionalized imidazolium salts with chloride, hexafluorophosphate, or tetrafluoroborate counter anions have been prepared and characterized using a range of analytical and spectroscopic techniques ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an invaluable tool for biologists and neuroscientists to study brain structure at the intra- cellular level. While able to image tissue samples with up to 5nm isotropic resolution, image acquisition is prohibitively sl ...

The core–shell structure of a range of acrylic–acrylic latexes has been investigated by combining different specimen preparation methods with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (DSTEM) and low-volta ...

The aim of this study is to develop coatings on polymer substrates with a combined increase in oxygen barrier performance and toughness, based on SiOx coatings modified with multifunctional organo-silane polymers of controlled polarity and reactivity. As a ...
