Mesoporous materials as support for immobilized enzymes have been explored extensively
during the last two decades, primarily not only for biocatalysis applications, but also for …

Transition metal oxides have gained substantial attention in the previous decade by virtue of
their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Amidst all, tungsten oxide (WO 3) is …

This review presents an extensive discussion on the major advances in the field of
periodically organized mesoporous thin films (POMTFs) obtained via surfactant templated …

A software package for performing modelling and analysis of GISAXS (grazing-incidence
small-angle X-ray scattering) data within the distorted-wave Born approximation has been …

Sub-micrometre thin alternate bilayers of materials with appropriate refractive index contrast
are widely used for the assembly of sensors based on the stimuli-responsiveness of such 1D …

One of the crucial characteristics of functionalized thin films is their porosity (ie, the ratio
between the pore volume and the volume of the whole film). Due to the very low amount of …

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition technique that has been studied with
a variety of in situ techniques. By exploiting the high photon flux and energy tunability of …

Elaboration of mesostructured silica films with a triblock copolymer polyethylene oxide–
polypropylene oxide–polyethylene oxide,(PEO–PPO–PEO) and controlled growth of silver …

Reduction of roughness to the nm level is critical of achieving the ultimate performance from
photocathodes used in high gradient fields. The thrust of this paper is to explore the …

Porous silica optical antireflective (AR) coatings prepared by traditional sol–gel method
have been extensively used for high power laser systems, but a serious drawback is that …
