Precise monolayer epitaxy is important for two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors toward future electronics. Here, we report a new self-limited approach, liquid phase edge (LPEE), precise-monolayer of transition-metal dichalcogenides. In this method, the solution contacts 2D grains only at edges, which confines grain edges and then precise can be achieved. High-temperature in situ imaging progress directly supports edge-contact mechanism. Typical dichalcogenide monolayers (MX2, M = Mo, W, Re; X...

Twenty-two Vibrio cholerae isolates, including some from "epidemic" (O1 and O139) "nonepidemic" serogroups, were characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using three housekeeping genes, gyrB, pgm, recA; data also obtained for the virulence-associated genes tcpA, ctxA, ctxB. Even with small number of loci used, MLST had better discriminatory ability than did PFGE. On analysis, there was clear clustering epidemic serogroups; much greater...
With the help of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at LaAlO3–SrTiO3 interface, spin and charge currents can be interconverted. However, conversion efficiency has been strongly depressed by LaAlO3, which blocks transmission. It is therefore highly desired to explore 2DEGs sandwiched between ferromagnetic insulators that are transparent for magnons. By constructing epitaxial heterostructure with EuO, conducting current but insulating electric current, KTaO3, we successfully obtained 2DEGs,...
