Micro- and macro-droplet evaporation and condensation upon micropatterned superhydrophobic surfaces built of flattop pillars are investigated with the use of Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope. It is shown that the contact angle hysteresis depends

Detecting the spectroscopic signature of crystalline order in ultra-thin HfO2 gate dielectric films has been particularly challenging, yet essential to the explanation of atomic structure based mechanisms responsible for electrical performance. Atomic

A thermodynamic approach has been used to describe the formation and magnetoelectric response of composite multiferroic films. Experimental and theoretical results that address the origins of different phase morphologies in epitaxial spinel-perovskite
Recently, combinatorial phage display has emerged as a powerful method to design peptides capable of selective and enhanced binding affinity to organic, inorganic and ion-doped polyelectrolytes. This approach offers significant advantages over de novo

One common method for probing cell-material interactions is direct visualization via confocal laser scanning microscopy, a technique widely used for studying biological systems. However, confocal microscopy has limited depth penetration for imaging cells

Variable-temperature X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the internal strains that arise from a ferroelectric phase transition in self-assembled multiferroic nanostructures CoFe2O4-PbTiO3 on (001) SrTiO3. The constraints from CoFe2O4 suppressed the c
Abstract. The effects of local B-cation distribution and octahedral tilting on the pre-edge structure in the Ti X-ray absorption K-spectra of the CaTi1-xZrxO3 perovskite solid solutions were investigated. Experimental spectra for the disordered CaTi1
