The visible (α) and near-UV (β) CD bands of rhodopsin have been studied extensively, but their source(s) have never been definitively established. Do they result from the intrinsic chirality of the ...

Gallium phosphide, though most commonly used in emitters, has potential for use in both ultraviolet, blue, and blue green light detection applications from 250 nm to 500 nm. In GaP, shorter ...

CPD photolyase enzymatically repairs the major UV-induced lesion in DNA, the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD), by photoreversion of the damage reaction. An enzyme-bound reduced flavin (FADH−) ...

Abstract: High-performance vertically illuminated Schottky photodiodes with indium-tin-oxide (ITO) Schottky layers were designed, fabricated, and tested. Ternary and quarternary III-V material systems ...
