TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the paraelectric phase stabilizes below 4 K with a very high dielectric constant and the crossover from classical to quantum behavior on lowering the temperature is discussed, and the coupling of the ferroelectric mode to acoustic ones is important.
Abstract: The dielectric constants ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{〈110〉}$ and their change with uniaxial $〈1\overline{1}0〉$ stress in monodomain $〈001〉$SrTi${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ samples have been measured as a function of temperature. Between 4 K and 0.3 K these quantities are independent of temperature. In one sample $\ensuremath{\epsilon}(T)$ was measured to 0.035 K and found to be constant. This proves the quantum-mechanical stabilization of the paraelectric phase below 4 K with a very high dielectric constant $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$. The crossover from classical to quantum behavior on lowering the temperature is discussed, and it is shown that the coupling of the ferroelectric mode to acoustic ones is important. The $\ensuremath{\epsilon}(T)$ dependence is compared to earlier and recent theories. The former, yielding a coth ($\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\Omega}}{\mathrm{kT}}$) term, are found to be inadequate for the crossover region. A recent biquadratic ferroelectric mode-coupling theory fits the data better.

TL;DR: A way to extend the capabilities of plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition to the synthesis of freestanding few-layer graphene is presented and the resulting graphene flakes are aligned vertically to the substrate surface and grow according to a three-step process.
Abstract: If graphene is ever going to live up to the promises of future nanoelectronic devices, an easy and cheap route for mass production is an essential requirement. A way to extend the capabilities of plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition to the synthesis of freestanding few-layer graphene is presented. Micrometre-wide flakes consisting of four to six atomic layers of stacked graphene sheets have been synthesized by controlled recombination of carbon radicals in a microwave plasma. A simple and highly reproducible technique is essential, since the resulting flakes can be synthesized without the need for a catalyst on the surface of any substrate that withstands elevated temperatures up to 700 °C. A thorough structural analysis of the flakes is performed with electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy. The resulting graphene flakes are aligned vertically to the substrate surface and grow according to a three-step process, as revealed by the combined analysis of electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

TL;DR: It is shown that small alterations in the Aβ42:Aβ40 ratio dramatically affect the biophysical and biological properties of the A β mixtures reflected in their aggregation kinetics, the morphology of the resulting amyloid fibrils and synaptic function tested in vitro and in vivo.
Abstract: The amyloid peptides Aβ(40) and Aβ(42) of Alzheimer's disease are thought to contribute differentially to the disease process. Although Aβ(42) seems more pathogenic than Aβ(40), the reason for this is not well understood. We show here that small alterations in the Aβ(42):Aβ(40) ratio dramatically affect the biophysical and biological properties of the Aβ mixtures reflected in their aggregation kinetics, the morphology of the resulting amyloid fibrils and synaptic function tested in vitro and in vivo. A minor increase in the Aβ(42):Aβ(40) ratio stabilizes toxic oligomeric species with intermediate conformations. The initial toxic impact of these Aβ species is synaptic in nature, but this can spread into the cells leading to neuronal cell death. The fact that the relative ratio of Aβ peptides is more crucial than the absolute amounts of peptides for the induction of neurotoxic conformations has important implications for anti-amyloid therapy. Our work also suggests the dynamic nature of the equilibrium between toxic and non-toxic intermediates.
