Example sentencesExamples
- Finally, they fix these superlattices in position by baking the particles at 560°C for about 30 minutes - this decomposes the soap molecules to form a hard carbon crust that holds the magnetic particles in position.
- Thus, some key issues about the superlattices remain unsolved: How could such crystal-like structures exist in a bilayer without rigid chemical bonds between molecules?
- Another model for cholesterol lateral distribution, namely the superlattice model (or regular distribution model), has been proposed recently.
- It is based on a superlattice composed of alternating single crystal ‘stripes’.
- This exciton model suitably described the main features of their optical properties, including the influence of the superlattice organization of several adjacent rod aggregates in chlorosomes.
