Design and Realization of a Novel Optically Disordered Material: A Demonstration of a Mie Glass
Herein, a diffusive material presenting optical disorder isintroduced, which represents an example of a Mie glass. Comprising spherical crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles randomlydispersed in a mesoporous TiO2 matrix, it is proved that thescattering of light in this...
Electron injection and scaffold effects in perovskite solar cells
In spite of the impressive efficiencies reported for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), key aspects of their working principles, such as electron injection at the contacts or the suitability of the utilization of a specific scaffold layer, are not yet fully understood....
Strong Quantum Confinement and Fast Photoemission Activation in CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite Nanocrystals Grown within Periodically Mesostructured Films
In this Communication, a synthetic route is demonstrated to obtain stabilized MAPbI3nanocrystals embedded in thin metal oxide films that display well-defined and adjustable quantum confinement effects over a wide range of 0.34 eV. Mesostructured TiO2 and SiO2 films...
Structural basis of mitochondrial dysfunction in response to cytochrome c phosphorylation at tyrosine 48
Regulation of mitochondrial activity allows cells to adapt to changing conditions and to control oxidative stress, and its dysfunction can lead to hypoxia-dependent pathologies such as ischemia and cancer. Although cytochrome c phosphorylation—in particular, at...
