Dynamic swimming pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa near a vertical wall during initial attachment stages of biofilm formation by Khong, Nicole Zi-Jia, Zeng, Yukai, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Koh, Cheng-Gee, Liang, Zhao-Xun, Chiam, Keng-Hwee, Li, Hoi-Yeung

“…Here, we compared the near wall (vertical) swimming behaviour of P. aeruginosa (PAO1) and its mutants ΔdipA (reduced in swarming motility and increased in biofilm formation) and ΔfimX (deficient in twitching motility and reduced in biofilm formation) using our new imaging technique based on light sheet microscopy. We found that P. aeruginosa (PAO1) increases its speed and changes its swimming angle drastically when it gets closer to a wall. …”

Polaron effects on the performance of light-harvesting systems : a quantum heat engine perspective by Xu, Dazhi, Wang, Chen, Zhao, Yang, Cao, Jianshu

“…In the context of light-harvesting, the excitation energy is first pumped up by sunlight, then is transferred via two excited states which are coupled to a phonon bath, and finally decays to the reaction center. The efficiency of this process is evaluated by steady state analysis via a polaron-transformed master equation; thus the entire range of the system-phonon coupling strength can be covered. …”

Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…The upper region of its valence band is found to solely consist of lone pair p-orbital states, which are by nature more delocalized than the d-orbital states in transition metal dichalcogenides, implying superior transport performance of antimonene. The Young's and shear moduli of β-antimonene are observed to be ∼25% higher than those of bulk antimony, while the hexagonal lattice constant of the monolayer reduces significantly (∼5%) from that in bulk, indicative of strong interlayer coupling. …”
