Grand canonical Brownian dynamics simulations of adsorption and self-assembly of SAS-6 rings on a surface

The Spindle Assembly Abnormal Protein 6 (SAS-6) forms dimers, which then self-assemble into rings that are critical for the nine-fold symmetry of the centriole organelle. It has recently been shown experimentally that the self-assembly of SAS-6 rings is st ...

Site-selective overgrowth of Ag nanocrystals by Polyvinylpyrrolidone-mediated atom deposition by Ostwald ripening

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Alejandro Lapresta Fernandez

The growth modulation of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by Ostwald ripening (OR) involves control of the relocation of matter by diffusional mass transfer from the dissolution of small nanocrystals (SNCs) towards large nanocrystals whose surface energy is lower. ...

Direct high-temperature growth of single-crystalline GaN on ScAlMgO4 substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Alessandro Floriduz

In this note, we demonstrate direct high-temperature growth of single-crystalline GaN on c-plane ScAlMgO4 substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, without using low-temperature buffers. We found that a trimethylaluminium preflow was crucial to ...
