Nanowires and nanorings at the atomic level.
The step-flow growth mode is used to fabricate Si and Ge nanowires with a width of 3.5 nm and a thickness of one atomic layer (0.3 nm) by self-assembly. Alternating deposition of Ge and Si results in the formation of a nanowire superlattice covering the whole surface. One atomic layer of Bi terminating the surface is used to distinguish between the elements Si and Ge. A difference in apparent h...
متن کاملCancer risk assessment at the atomic level.
A flurry of articles on the structure of different domains of BRCA1 and BRCA2 have not only shed light on the biology of these proteins but have also raised hopes that these data could eventually be used to infer cancer association for a large number of inherited missense mutations whose effect on protein function is unclear.
متن کاملProbing Single Vacancies in Black Phosphorus at the Atomic Level
Utilizing a combination of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and electronic structure calculations, we characterize the structural and electronic properties of single atomic vacancies within several monolayers of the surface of black phosphorus. We illustrate, with experimental analysis and tight-binding calculations, that we can depth profile these vacancies ...
متن کاملMembrane fusion: what may transpire at the atomic level
Target membrane proteins, SNAP-25 and syntaxin (t-SNARE), and secretory vesicleassociated membrane protein (v-SNARE), are part of the conserved protein complex involved in fusion of opposing bilayers in biological systems in the presence of calcium. It is known that SNARE interaction allows opposing bilayers to come close within a distance of approximately 3 Å, enabling calcium to drive membran...
متن کاملTailoring magnetoresistance at the atomic level: An ab initio study
The possibility of manipulating the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of antiferromagnetic nanostructures is predicted in the framework of ab initio calculations. By the example of a junction composed of an antiferromagnetic dimer and a spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy tip we show that the TMR can be tuned and even reversed in sign by lateral and vertical movements of the tip. Moreo...
