RESUMO

In this comment we discuss some aspects of Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2022, 24, 15851, by Allison et al., an article intensely motivated by our study of grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) for He-KCl(001) [G. A. Bocan, H. Breiss, S. Szilasi, A. Momeni, M. E. Staicu Casagrande, M. S. Gravielle, E. A. Sánchez and H. Khemliche, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2020, 125, 096101; G. A. Bocan, H. Breiss, S. Szilasi, A. Momeni, M. E. Staicu Casagrande, E. A. Sánchez, M. S. Gravielle and H. Khemliche, Phys. Rev. B, 2021, 104, 235401]. In particular, (a) we show that, contrary to first order perturbation prediction, the surface corrugation is not proportional to the tangent of the rainbow angle and, (b) we analyze whether a Morse-like formula, like the one Allison et al. use, is able to reproduce the atom-surface potential derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, we give some clarifications regarding specific remarks the authors made about our articles.

RESUMO

Sleep quality and its association with cognition has been widely studied in some neurodegenerative diseases, but less is known about this association in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In adult SMA (n = 21) patients and age-matched controls (n = 23), we assessed subjectively measured sleep quality and daytime somnolence. Cognition was assessed with a multi-domain neuropsychological battery. Further, we investigated the association between clinical functional scores and sleep questionnaire scores. Among SMA patients, better motor and limb function was associated with better subjective sleep quality (p's< 0.05). Clinicians should consider sleep quality in patient care and future studies are needed to better understand these relationships.

RESUMO

Despite the tremendous importance of so-called ionizing radiations (X-rays, accelerated electrons and ions) in cancer treatment, most studies on their effects have focused on the ionization process itself, and neglect the excitation events the radiations can induce. Here, we show that the excited states of DNA exposed to accelerated electrons can be studied in the picosecond time domain using a recently developed cathodoluminescence system with high temporal resolution. Our study uses a table-top ultrafast, UV laser-triggered electron gun delivering picosecond electron bunches of keV energy. This scheme makes it possible to directly compare time-resolved cathodoluminescence with photoluminescence measurements. This comparison revealed qualitative differences, as well as quantitative similarities between excited states of DNA upon exposure to electrons or photons.

RESUMO

The poor structural properties of organic-inorganic interfaces and their variability represent the main cause of device under-performance. Understanding and controlling the development of these properties in real time has been a difficult experimental challenge. Using a recent technique based on grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD), we were able to directly observe during deposition structural transitions in a perylene monolayer on Ag(110). Crystallization from the liquid phase occurs into two distinct structures with drastically different dynamics. Transition to the most compact packing occurs by self-organization only after a second layer has started to build up; subsequent incorporation of molecules from second to first layer triggers an ultrafast crystallization on a macroscopic sale. The final compact crystalline structure shows a long-range order and superior stability, which opens good perspectives for producing in a controlled manner highly ordered hybrid interfaces for photovoltaics and molecular electronics.
