Ion channel TRPA₁ is a promising therapeutic target for treatment of pain

In the last time information about the role of TRPA₁ in pain and cold sensitivity, as well as in the formation and maintenance of inflammation is increasing in scientific literature. Given this information, the interest for search and study of pharmacological agents, which selectively blocked of TRPA₁ and reduced the severity of pain and inflammation is increasin

Properties of arsenic-implanted Hg1-xCdxTe MBE films

Defect structure of arsenic-implanted Hg1-xCdxTe films (x=0.23–0.30) grown with molecular-beam epitaxy on Si substrates was investigated with the use of optical methods and by studying the electrical properties of the films. The structural perfection of the films remained higher after implantation with more energetic arsenic ions (350 keV vs 190 keV). 100%-activation of implanted ions as a result of post-implantation annealing was achieved, as well as the effective removal of radiation-induced donor defects. In some samples, however, activation of acceptor-like defects not related to mercury vacancies as a result of annealing was observed, possibly related to the effect of the substrate

Accumulation and annealing of radiation donor defects in arsenic-implanted Hg0.7Cd0.3Te films

Processes of accumulation and annealing of radiation-induced donor defects in arsenic-implanted Hg0.7Cd0.3Te films were studied with the use of the Hall-effect measurements with processing the data with mobility spectrum analysis. A substantial difference in the effects of arsenic implantation and post-implantation activation annealing on the properties of implanted layers and photodiode ‘base’ layers in Hg0.7Cd0.3Te and Hg0.8Cd0.2Te films was established and tentatively explained

Fluence dependence of nanosize defect layers in arsenic implanted HgCdTe epitaxial films studied with TEM/HRTEM

We report on the results of comparative study of fluence dependence of defect layers in molecular-beam epitaxy-grown epitaxial film of p-Hg1-х CdхTe (х=0.22) implanted with arsenic ions with 190 keV energy and fluence 1012, 1013, and 1014 cm-2
