Adhesion and Differentiation of Neuronal Cell on Photoresist Derived Carbon Substrates

Pampuro R., Chen L., Zou T., Zhou H., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

Cellular response to substrate topography and chemistry is a crucial aspect in guided neurite growth for application in neuroregenerative medicine. Experiments investigating cell culture on nanopatterned surfaces have elucidated the nuances of cell-substrate interaction. Among [...]

Molecular Simulation Studies on Adsorption of Mercuric Chloride

Kotdawala R.R., Kazantzis N., Thompson R.W., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

The need to develop technologies capable of achieving high removal efficiencies for mercury chloride emission control led many researchers to focus their attention on the evaluation of the adsorption capacity and selectivity shown by different [...]

Valence-band Energies of GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP V-groove [1-10] Quantum Wires

Lassen B., Lew Yan Voon L.C., Melnik R., Willatzen M., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

Comparison between the Burt-Foreman and Luttinger-Kohn valence-band Hamiltonians have been performed for realistic V-groove GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP quantum wires. Significant differences in band structure is only found for InGaAs/InP quantum wires.
