A pyridinium bisretinoid (A2E) is the only identified blue-absorbing chromophore of retinal lipofuscin that has been linked to its aerobic photoreactivity and phototoxicity. Pulse radiolysis has been used to study both the one-electron oxidation and... Read More about Spectroscopic properties and reactivity of free radical forms of A2E.

Shallow BF2 implants in Xe-bombardment-preamorphized Si: the interaction between Xe and F (2005)
Journal Article

Si(100) samples, preamorphized to a depth of ~30 nm using 20 keV Xe ions to a nominal fluence of 2×1014 cm-2 were implanted with 1 and 3 keV BF2 ions to fluences of 7×1014 cm-2. Following annealing over a range of temperatures (from 600 to 1130 °C) a... Read More about Shallow BF2 implants in Xe-bombardment-preamorphized Si: the interaction between Xe and F.
