TL;DR: This is the first structural model of a hybrid luminescent QD-protein receptor assembly elucidated by using spectroscopic measurements in conjunction with crystallographic and other data and indicates that MBP has a preferred orientation on the QD surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the same GaN growth conditions were used initially, resulting in films with approximately the same dislocation density, after which a single growth parameter was varied and the impurity concentrations measured using SIMS.

TL;DR: In this article, GaN decomposition, Ga desorption, and Ga droplet accumulation, were obtained from weight measurements before and after annealing the GaN films in a close-spaced showerhead reactor.

TL;DR: A series of gold nanoclusters stabilized by ligands containing short ethylene oxide oligomers of fixed length were prepared and characterized in this article, where the thiols CH3(OCH2CH2)nSH (where n = 2, 3, and 4) were substituted onto the surface of 1.8-nm hexanethiol-capped gold clusters by a thiol exchange reaction, and the resulting nanclusters were characterized by NMR, FTIR, and UV/vis spectroscopies; TGA; and TEM analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relaxation of compressively strained heteroepitaxial Si07Ge03 films bonded to high and low viscosity glass compliant layers.
