Excitation-dependent fluorescence from atomic/molecular layer deposited sodium-uracil thin films

Abstract Atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) offers unique possibilities in the fabrication of inorganic-organic thin films with novel functionalities. Especially, incorporating nucleobases in the thin-film structures could open new avenues in the development of bio-electronic and photonic d...
