Application

  • Controlling the rate of degradation of Mg using magnesium fluoride and magnesium fluoride-magnesium phosphate duplex coatings: This study discusses coatings that control the degradation rate of magnesium, which could be crucial in biomedical applications such as bioresorbable implants (K Ravichandran, SN TSN, 2022).
  • Electroforming-Free Bipolar Resistive Switching Memory Based on Magnesium Fluoride: Discusses the development of resistive switching memory devices using magnesium fluoride, focusing on their applications in non-volatile memory technology (NC Das et al., 2021).
  • Supercontinuum generation for optical coherence tomography using magnesium fluoride photonic crystal fiber: Explores the use of magnesium fluoride in photonic crystal fibers to enhance supercontinuum generation, which is crucial for improving optical coherence tomography (A Ghanbari et al., 2017).

The ability of bacteria to colonize catheters is a major cause of infection. In the current study, catheters were surface-modified with MgF(2) nanoparticles (NPs) using a sonochemical synthesis protocol described previously. The one-step synthesis and coating procedure yielded a homogenous

Antibiotic resistance has prompted the search for new agents that can inhibit bacterial growth. We recently reported on the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of nanosized magnesium fluoride (MgF(2)) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized in ionic liquid using microwave chemistry. In this article

We report a simple approach to enhance the out-coupling efficiency in white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs). By incorporating MgF₂-columns into the ITO-anode and optimizing of their geometry, an overall efficiency enhancement of up to 38% is achieved. In addition

We have determined the structure of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) in an E2.P(i)-like form stabilized as a complex with MgF(4)(2-), an ATP analog, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMPPCP), and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). The structure determined at 2.5A resolution leads to a
