TL;DR: In this paper, photo-induced superhydrophilicity was used on the surface of a wide-band gap semiconductor like titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) for photocatalytic activity towards environmentally hazardous compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role played by biological calcium phosphates in bone regeneration is presented, where the synthesis procedures to obtain in the laboratory calcium deficient carbonate nanoapatite both in bulk and thin film forms, as well as the characterization methods applied to these materials are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple relationship to calculate values of energy-band gaps, for metal oxides, from values of their enthalpies of formation, is presented, and a qualitative theoretical account for such different behaviors is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetoresistance effect of the low temperature phase of silver selenide (α -Ag 2+ δ Se) is studied with both bulk and thin film samples within a wide range of composition, i.e. metal content.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of high-temperature superconducting thick films by liquid phase epitaxy is reviewed, which are most promising for electronic device and coated conductor applications.
