Ionic Liquid-Driven Modulation of DNA Brush Morphology on Nanoparticle Surfaces

Anuj Chhabra, Sandip Mandal, Yugang Zhang +3

The morphology of DNA is strongly influenced by its surrounding environment, including factors such as pH, salt type and valency, and the presence of polymers. Inorganic salts are…

Localized High-Concentration Electrolytes Get More Localized Through Micelle-Like Structures

Corey M. Efaw, Qisheng Wu, Ningshengjie Gao +15

Liquid electrolytes in batteries are typically treated as macroscopically homogeneous ionic transport media despite having complex chemical composition and atomistic solvation stru…

Local step-flow dynamics in thin film growth with desorption

Xiaozhi Zhang, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Peco Myint +6

Desorption of deposited species plays a role in determining the evolution of surface morphology during crystal growth when the desorption time constant is short compared to the tim…

Measurement of Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier contribution to the self-organized formation of ordered surface patterns on Ge(001)

Peco Myint, Denise Erb, Xiaozhi Zhang +6

Normal incidence 1 keV Ar ion bombardment leads to amorphization and ultrasmoothing of Ge at room temperature, but at elevated temperatures the Ge surface remains crystalline a…

Nanoscale dynamics during self-organized ion beam patterning of Si: II. Kr Bombardment

Peco Myint, Karl F. Ludwig, Lutz Wiegart +4

Despite extensive study, fundamental understanding of self-organized patterning by broad-beam ion bombardment is still incomplete and controversial. Understanding the nanopatternin…

Coherent X-ray measurement of step-flow propagation during growth on polycrystalline thin film surfaces

Randall L. Headrick, Jeffrey G. Ulbrandt, Peco Myint +6

The properties of artificially grown thin films are strongly affected by surface processes during growth. Coherent X-rays provide an approach to better understand such processes an…
