Unveiling the Neutral Forms of Glutamine

Author: Iker León, Elena R. Alonso, Santiago Mata, Carlos Cabezas, Prof. Jose Luis Alonso

Angewandte (2019)

Abstract:
Neutral glutamine has been evaporated by laser ablation of its solid sample to seed a rare gas carrier prior to a supersonic expansion and proved by Fourier transform microwave techniques. We report on three distinct neutral conformers that show a….

2D MaterialsVolume 6Number 2 (2019)

Abstract:
We describe the reversible intercalation of Na under graphene on Ir(1 1 1) by photo-dissociation of a previously adsorbed NaCl overlayer. After room temperature evaporation, NaCl adsorbs on top of graphene forming a bilayer. With a combination of electron diffraction and photoemission….

Neaton & Alexander Weber-Bargioni 

Nature Communications volume 10, Article number: 3382 (2019

Abstract:
Chalcogen vacancies are generally considered to be the most common point defects in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors because of their low formation energy in vacuum and their frequent observation in transmission electron microscopy studies. Consequently….

Abstract:
We report an extensive structural characterization of the surface of 1T-PtTe2 crystals by means of helium atom scattering (HAS) and ultra-high resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). HAS reveals that this bi-dimensional surface presents a large structural corrugation….

ACS Nano 2020, 14, 2, 1895-1901.

Abstract:
The electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) can be precisely tuned by chemical doping. Here we demonstrate that amino (NH2) functional groups attached at the edges of chiral GNRs (chGNRs) can efficiently gate the chGNRs…

Engineering nanostructured cell micropatterns on Ti6Al4V by selective ion-beam inhibition of pitting

Author: R.López, M.D.Ynsa, P.J.de Pablo, F.Lim, M.Manso Silván
Corrosion Science. 9 February 2020, 108528

Abstract:
We have modified Ti6Al4V at the micro and nanoscale by using ion beam irradiation with 5 MeV Si+ ions through 1D micromasks. The passivation layer on irradiated areas inhibits hydrofluoric acid induced etching, leading to pitting contrasts…
