Several narrow well widths were chosen, e.g., 30, 35 and 40 {\AA}, and the barrier widths were varied between 24 and 90 {\AA} for a particular well width. Both the well width and the total period were determined directly by means of x-ray diffraction. The well width was determined by exploiting the high reflectivity from HgTe and the low reflectivity from CdTe for the (002) Bragg reflection. Knowing the well and barrier widths we have been able to set an upper limit on the average Cd concentration of the barriers, \(\overline x_b\), by annealing several superlattices and then measuring the composition of the resulting alloy. \(\overline x_b\) was shown to decrease exponentially with decreasing barrier width. The structure of a very short period superlattice, i.e., 31.4 {\AA}, was also investigated by transmission electron microscopy, corroborating the x-ray diffraction results.}, language = {en} } @article{BazihizinaBoehmMessereretal.2022, author = {Bazihizina, Nadia and B{\"o}hm, Jennifer and Messerer, Maxim and Stigloher, Christian and M{\"u}ller, Heike M. and Cuin, Tracey Ann and Maierhofer, Tobias and Cabot, Joan and Mayer, Klaus F.

Each EBC complex consists of a leaf epidermal cell, a stalk cell, and the bladder. Under salt stress, sodium (Na\(^{+}\)), chloride (Cl\(^{-}\)), potassium (K\(^{+}\)) and various metabolites are shuttled from the leaf lamina to the bladders. Stalk cells operate as both a selectivity filter and a flux controller. In line with the nature of a transfer cell, advanced transmission electron tomography, electrophysiology, and fluorescent tracer flux studies revealed the stalk cell's polar organization and bladder-directed solute flow. RNA sequencing and cluster analysis revealed the gene expression profiles of the stalk cells. Among the stalk cell enriched genes, ion channels and carriers as well as sugar transporters were most pronounced. Based on their electrophysiological fingerprint and thermodynamic considerations, a model for stalk cell transcellular transport was derived.}, language = {en} }
