Intermetallics with crystals derived from body-centered cubic structures are promising materials to enhance the performance and high temperature capability of high-strength alloys both as matrix strengthening precipitates. Given ordered nature these materials, defect that ultimately mediate plasticity can be complex strongly dependent on processing vis-à-vis extent disorder inherited phases. Here, we elucidate elementary characteristics in Heusler (L21) intermetallic MnCu2Al investigated by...
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically-protected spin textures that manifest in certain noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets under the right conditions of temperature and field. In thin-film skyrmion hosts, demagnetization effects combined with geometric confinement can result two distinct types textures: those their axis symmetry plane film (IP) pointing out-of-plane (OOP). Here we present Lorentz transmission electron microscopy evidence conjunction numerical modeling showing a flop transition...
A combination of nonionic, cationic, and zwitterionic surfactants is shown both to stabilize the transmembrane protein proteorhodopsin, as well direct coassembly into robust transparent mesostructured silica–surfactant films containing high loadings functionally active guests. Proteorhodopsin a that exhibits light-activated H+ transport properties, photocycle kinetics which are quantified by time-resolved UV–visible spectroscopy demonstrated be similar proteorhodopsin in abiotic compared...
