Temperature controlled evolution of monoclinic to super-tetragonal phase of epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 buffered SrTiO3 substrate

Epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films of 130nm were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) cupcake ladder technique on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 buffered SrTiO3 (001) substrate at various temperatures under different ambient oxygen pressures.Reciprocal space mapping reveals that, with decreasing temperature and oxygen pressure, the broadly reported monoclinic pha

Potential Ancestral Conoidean Toxins in the Venom Cocktail of the Carnivorous Snail Raphitoma purpurea (Montagu, 1803) (Neogastropoda: Raphitomidae)

Venomous marine gastropods of the superfamily Conoidea possess a rich arsenal of toxins, including neuroactive toxins.Venom adaptations might have played a fundamental role in the radiation of conoideans; nevertheless, there is still no knowledge about the venom of the most diversified family of the group: Raphitomidae Bellardi, 1875.In this study,
