AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on attaching the simple polar molecule terpyridine to Si nanowires with diameters between 7-100 nm using various measurement techniques.
- The results show how the bonding between the terpyridine and nanowires affects charge transfer and Fermi level shifts based on the nanowire's diameter.
- Additionally, it highlights how acid attachment can enhance conductivity within the molecular layer surrounding the nanowire.
Article Abstract
Attachment of a simple polar molecule, terpyridine, to the surfaces of Si nanowires with diameters ranging from 7-100 nm was investigated with two terminal conductivity measurements, a unique single nanowire photoelectron spectroscopy, and theoretical analysis. Our experiments reveal the details of molecule-nanowire bonding and charge transfer, diameter dependent Fermi level shifts, and acid attachment leading to conductivity in the cylindrical molecular nanolayer surrounding the nanowire.

Stretch activation (SA), a delayed increase in force production following rapid muscle lengthening, is critical to the function of vertebrate cardiac muscle and insect asynchronous indirect flight muscle (IFM). SA enables or increases power generation in muscle types used in a cyclical manner. Recently, myosin isoform expression has been implicated as a mechanism for varying the amplitude of SA in some muscle types.

Background And Aims: Patients receiving statin therapy still suffer from adverse cardiovascular events. Metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a newly proposed concept that shares common metabolic risk factors with cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the association between MAFLD and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with LDL-C<1.

This paper addresses a non-interacting torque control strategy to decouple the d- and q-axis dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) method is used to determine the reference currents for the desired torque. To realize the noninteracting control, knowledge concerning the inductances L and L of the electrical machine is necessary.
