Lee J. Richter, Ahmad R. Kirmani, Marine E. Bouduban, Valentine I. Queloz, Valentina M. Caselli, Kyung T. Cho, Sanghyun Paek, Cristina Roldan-Carmona, Jacques E. Moser, Tom J. Savenije, Mohammad K. Nazeeruddin, Giulia Grancini
Combining halide perovskites with tailored dimensionality into two/three-dimensional (2D/3D) systems has revealed a powerful strategy to boost the performances of perovskite photovoltaics (PVs). Despite recent advances, a clear understanding of the

Pumping and decay rates of cold atoms dark states

September 9, 2019
Author(s)
Moshe Shuker, Juniper Pollock, V. I. Yudin, John Kitching, Elizabeth Donley
Coherent dark states in atoms, created by simultaneous interaction of two coherent light fields with an atom, are of prime importance in quantum state manipulation. They are used extensively in quantum sensing and quantum information applications to build

Tailoring Biomimetic Phosphorylcholine-Containing Block Copolymers as Membrane-Targeting Cellular Rescue Agents

September 9, 2019

Jia-Yu Wang, Wei Chen, Michihiro Nagao, Phullara Shelat, Brenton A. G. Hammer, Gregory T. Tietjen, Kathleen Cao, J. Michael Henderson, Lilin He, Binhua Lin, Bulent Akgun, Mati Meron, Shuo Qian, Sarah Ward, Jeremy D. Marks, Todd Emrick, Ka Yee C. Lee
Some synthetic polymers have been found capable of rescuing injured cells from death by targeting cell membranes. However, general principles for designing synthetic polymers to ensure strong, but non-disruptive cell membrane targeting unknown. Here, we

Transport properties of topologically non-trivial bismuth tellurobromides BinTeBr

September 9, 2019
Author(s)
Falk Pabst, Dean Hobbis, Alzahrani Noha, Hsin Wang, I.P. Rusinov, E.V. Chulkov, Joshua B. Martin, Michael Ruck, George S. Nolas
Temperature dependent transport properties of the recently discovered layered bismuth-rich tellurobromides BinTeBr (n = 2, 3) are investigated for the first time. Dense homogeneous polycrystalline specimens prepared for different electrical and thermal
