Functional properties of Yttrium Iron Garnett thin films on graphene-coated Gd3Ga5O12 for remote epitaxial transfer by Leontsev, S., Shah, P.J., Kum, H.S., McChesney, J.L., Rodolakis, F.M., van Veenendaal, M., Velez, M., Rao, R., Haskel, D., Kim, J., Reed, A.N., Page, M.R.

“…It was found that YIG on graphene-coated GGG exhibits significantly higher microwave losses than standard YIG on GGG (FMR linewidth 30.9 vs 2.1 Oe at 10 GHz, and Gilbert damping coefficient 15.4 × 10-4 vs 3.4 × 10-4 respectively), which was attributed to increased concentration of Fe2+ cations in YIG/Graphene/GGG. While the damping is higher in these studied films compared to YIG grown directly on GGG, the resulting properties are still very favorable compared to many other competing materials which can be grown without the need for lattice matched substrates, such as metallic ferromagnets.…”

Exploring and Exploiting Ribonuclease 1: from Protein Biochemistry to Protein Engineering by Wralstad, Evans Christian

“…RNase 1 and RNase A are members of the pancreatic-type ribonuclease (ptRNase) superfamily, a class of enzymes which share many biophysical features, including a small molecular weight, high cationicity, and a secretory nature. Historical elucidation of ribonuclease biochemistry describes their susceptibility to oxidation-induced inactivation. …”

Rigid-strut-containing crown ethers and [2]catenanes for incorporation into metal-organic frameworks by Zhao, Yan-Li, Liu, Lihua, Zhang, Wenyu, Sue, Chi-Hau, Li, Qiaowei, Miljanić, Ognjen Š., Yaghi, Omar M., Stoddart, J. Fraser

“…These novel crown ethers not only retain the characteristics of their parent crown ethers since they can 1) bind cationic guests and 2) serve as templates for making mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as catenanes and rotaxanes, but they also present coordination sites to connect with secondary building units (SBUs) in MOFs. …”
