Tuning the Magnetization of Manganese (II) Carbonate by Intracrystalline Amino Acids
Arad Lang, Iryna Polishchuk, Giorgia Confalonieri +5
Incorporation of organic molecules into the lattice of inorganic crystalline hosts is a common phenomenon in biomineralization, and has been shown to alter various properties of th…
Insights on the interaction of calcein with calcium carbonate and its implications in biomineralization studies
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Jonathan Erez +3
The effects of calcein, a marker commonly used to assess mineral growth in calcifying organism, on calcite and aragonite structure have been investigated. Calcein is entrapped with…
Strong Quantum Confinement Effects and Chiral Excitons in Bio-Inspired ZnO-Amino Acid Co-Crystals
Madathumpady Abubaker Habeeb Muhammed, Marlene Lamers, Verena Baumann +10
Elucidating the underlying principles behind band gap engineering is paramount for the successful implementation of semiconductors in photonic and optoelectronic devices. Recently…
Effect of surface chemistry on incorporation of nanoparticles within calcite single crystals
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Francesco Palomba +5
Inclusion of additives into calcite crystals allows one to embed non-native proprieties into the inorganic matrix and obtain new functional materials. Up to now, few parameters hav…
Formation and Stability of Ordered and Disordered Ba-substituted Calcite Phases
E. Seknazi, D. Levy, I. Polishchuk +2
Calcite has the ability to host large amounts of intracrystalline inclusions, a phenomenon that is known to be the case in biominerals and has been demonstrated in bio-inspired syn…
Calcite single crystals as hosts for atomic-scale entrapment and slow release of drugs
Giulia Magnabosco, Matteo Di Giosia, Iryna Polishchuk +8
This study presents a complete structural and biological characterization of Doxorubicin CaCO3 single crystals as a pH responsive drug carrier. Using a biomimetic approach, it was…
