Narrow graphene nanoribbons exhibit substantial electronic bandgaps and optical
properties fundamentally different from those of graphene. Unlike graphene—which shows a …

Electrically tuned photonic crystals are produced by applying fields across shear-assembled
elastomeric polymer opal thin films. At increasing voltages, the polymer opal films stretch …

The bottom-up fabrication of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) has opened new opportunities
to specifically tune their electronic and optical properties by precisely controlling their atomic …

We report a combined reflectance difference spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy
study of ultrathin α-sexithiophene (6T) films deposited on the Cu(110)-(2×1)O surface. …

In the present work reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) is evaluated as a new tool for
the mechanical characterization of metallic thin films on viscoelastic substrates. Cu and Cu–…

We have studied the growth of para-sexiphenyl (p-6P) on the Cu(110)–(2×1)O surface
using reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS) in combination with scanning tunneling …

The Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) of metallic nanowire arrays was studied
as a function of wire thickness and composition. Ripple-like periodic structures on polymer …

The magnetism and morphology of thin Ni films deposited on the Cu (110)-Cu (110)-(2× 1)
O surface (Cu-CuO stripe phase) have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) …

A detailed overview is provided for the possible patient exposure to highly potent active
pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) from potential cross-contamination through the …

The process of filling and discharging transport receptacles may cause contamination of bulk
solids by substance or microorganisms in the ambient air. Contamination is prevented by …
