Detection Limit for Optically Sensing Specific Protein Interactions in Free-solution

open access: yes, 2017
Optical molecular sensing techniques are often limited by the refractive index change associated with the probed interactions. In this work, we present a closed form analytical model to estimate the magnitude of optical refractive index change arising ...

Domain Nucleation and Growth in an Epitaxially Grown Wurtzite Ferroelectric

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric domain nucleation and growth in epitaxial wurtzite (Al, B, Sc)N films are visualized through in situ transmission electron microscopy. Domains initiate near the bottom electrode and propagate laterally with zigzag walls, while unswitched regions remain near the electrode interfaces.
