PEGylation of zinc nanoparticles amplifies their ability to enhance olfactory responses to odorant

December 20, 2017

Melissa Singletary, Samantha Hagerty, Shinichiro Muramoto, Yasmine Daniels, William A. MacCrehan, Gheorghe Stan, June W. Lau, Oleg Pustovyy, Ludmila Globa, Edward E. Morrison, Iryna Sorokulova, Vitaly Vodyanoy
Responses of olfactory sensory neurons to odorants are intensely enhanced with the addition of small endogenous and engineered zinc nanoparticles, as shown by physiological experiments. The highest enhancement was recorded with 1.2 nm non-oxidized zinc

After oxidation, zinc nanoparticles lose their ability to enhance responses to odorants

Samantha Hagerty, Yasmine C. Daniels, Melissa Singletary, Oleg Pustovyy, Ludmila Globa, William A. MacCrehan, Shinichiro Muramoto, June W. Lau, Edward Morrison, Iryna Sorokulova, Vitaly Vodyanoy, Gheorghe Stan
Electrical responses of olfactory sensory neurons to odorants were examined in the presence of zinc nanoparticles of various sizes and degrees of oxidation. The zinc nanoparticles were prepared by the underwater electrical discharge method and analyzed by

Multiferroicity in Doped Hexagonal LuFeO 3

Steven M. Disseler, Xuan Luo, Bin Gao, Yoon Seok Oh, Rongwei Hu, Yazhong Wang, Dylan Quintana, Alexander Zhang, Qingzhen Huang, June W. Lau, Rick L. Paul, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Sang-Wook Cheong, William D. Ratcliff
The hexagonal phase of LuFeO 3 is a rare example of a multiferroic material possessing a weak ferromagnetic moment, which is predicted to be switchable by an electric field. We stabilize this structure in bulk form through Mn and Sc doping, and determine

Enriching 28Si beyond 99.9998 % for semiconductor quantum computing

August 5, 2014
Author(s)
Kevin J. Dwyer, Joshua M. Pomeroy, David S. Simons, June W. Lau, Kristen L. Steffens
Using a laboratory-scale apparatus, we enrich 28Si and produce material with 40 times less residual 29Si than previously reported. Starting from natural abundance silane gas, we offer an alternative to industrial gas centrifuges for providing materials

Structural and Magnetic Etch Damage in CoFeB

May 7, 2014
Author(s)
L. Krayer, June W. Lau, Brian Kirby
A detailed understanding of the interfacial properties of think films used in magnetic media is critical for the aggressive component scaling required for continued improvement in storage density. In particular, it is important to understand how common

Deposition Order Dependent Magnetization Reversal of Pressure Graded Co/Pd Films

April 15, 2014
Author(s)
P. K. Greene, Brian Kirby, June W. Lau, Julie Borchers, M .R. Fitzsimmons, Kai Liu
Magnetization reversal mechanisms have been investigated in pressure graded Co/Pd multilayer thin films with inverted deposition orders. Structural and magnetic properties have been investigated using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy

Intrinsic defects in perpendicularly magnetized multilayer thin films and nanostructures

October 26, 2010
Author(s)
Justin M. Shaw, Miles Olsen, June W. Lau, Michael L. Schneider, Thomas J. Silva, Olav Hellwig, Elizabeth Dobisz, Bruce D. Terris
Intrinsic magnetic defects in perpendicularly magnetized nanostructures reduce the predictability of device and developing recording technologies. In addition to a distribution of local anisotropy fields, we show that such defects also exhibit variations
