A critical factor for electronics based on inorganic layered crystals stems from the electrical contact mode between the semiconducting crystals and the metal counterparts in the electric circuit. Here, a materials tailoring strategy via nanocomposite decoration is carried out to reach metallic contact between MoS2 matrix and transition metal nanoparticles. Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) are ...

In: Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM, 2009, vol. 911, no. 1-3, p. 65-69

The geometries, electronic, and magnetic properties of the Au₇Hn (n = 1–10) clusters have been systematically investigated by using relativistic all-electron density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the Au₇ on the whole retains its triangle structure after hydrogen atoms adsorption and adsorbing hydrogen atoms can...

To overview the gene content of the important pathogen Phytophthora infestans, large-scale cDNA and genomic sequencing was performed. A set of 75,757 high-quality expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from P. infestans was obtained from 20 cDNA libraries representing a broad range of growth conditions, stress responses, and developmental stages. These included libraries from P....
