Although the Th17 subset and its signature cytokine, interleukin (IL)-17A (IL-17), are implicated
in certain autoimmune diseases, their role in cancer remains to be further explored. IL-17 …

The development of colloidal quantum dots has led to practical applications of quantum
confinement, such as in solution-processed solar cells 1 , lasers 2 and as biological labels 3 . …

Colloidal quantum rods of cadmium selenide (CdSe) exhibit linearly polarized emission.
Empirical pseudopotential calculations predict that slightly elongated CdSe nanocrystals have …

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, which have proved to be promising semiconductor
materials for photovoltaic applications, have been made into atomically thin two-dimensional (…

The formation energies and charge-transition levels of intrinsic point defects in lead halide
perovskite CsPbBr 3 are studied from first-principles calculations. It is shown that the …

The rapidly growing field of nanoscale lasers can be advanced through the discovery of new,
tunable light sources. The emission wavelength tunability demonstrated in perovskite …

A plane-wave semiempirical pseudopotential method with nonlocal potentials and spin-orbit
coupling is used to calculate the electronic structure of surface-passivated wurtzite CdSe …

Lattice-mismatch strains are widely known to control nanoscale pattern formation in
heteroepitaxy, but such effects have not been exploited in colloidal nanocrystal growth. We …

An approach is introduced to calculate the thermodynamic oxidation and reduction
potentials of semiconductors in aqueous solution. By combining a newly developed ab initio …

We present a simple, linear‐in‐size method that enables calculation of the eigensolutions of
a Schrödinger equation in a desired energy window. We illustrate this method by studying …
