Direct chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of graphene on any desired substrate is always required to manufacture high-quality heterojunctions with excellent interfacial properties. Herein, the growth cubic-silicon carbide (3C-SiC) surfaces using conventional high-temperature direct thermal CVD and plasma-enhanced (PECVD) explored, which hardly reported date. Since 3C-SiC substrates are not available, controlled self-limited layers Si(100) were grown at different temperatures (900–1200 °C) via...

Summary. The clinical phenotype of patients with haemophilia A (HA) often differs between individuals the same factor VIII (FVIII) gene defect (e.g. within family) or coagulant activity FVIII (FVIII:C). We proposed that because thrombin generation assay in platelet‐poor plasma HA provides more information [peak concentration, endogenous potential (ETP), rate and lag‐time] than a clot‐based it might provide insight into these differences. therefore investigated relation results severity nine...

Hydrogenated graphene is easy to prepare and chemically stable. Besides, hydrogenation of can open the band gap, which vital for electronic optoelectronic applications. Graphene/Si photodetector (PD) has been widely studied in imaging, telecommunications, other fields. The direct contact between Si form a Schottky junction. However, it suffers from poor interface state, where carrier recombination at causes serious leakage current, turn leads decrease detectivity. Hence, this study,...

Abstract 2D material‐based electronic devices like graphene–silicon photodetectors (Gr–Si PDs) have attracted much attention of researchers in the past few years. Due to nature Schottky junction, Gr–Si PDs ultrafast response. However, responsivity is very low, which hinders their practical application. Low work function Gr and poor absorbance Si are mainly responsible for this problem. Here, a novel approach coupling with fractal platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) demonstrated enhance speed up...
