Enhanced Electromechanical Response in 1D Hybrid Perovskites: Coexistence of Normal and Relaxor Ferroelectric Phases

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The dynamic polarization reversal of coexisting normal and relaxor ferroelectrics in 1D TMAPbI₃ (tetramethylammonium, TMA) is deciphered through combined experimental and theoretical approaches. By bridging atomic‐scale motion, macroscopic polarization switching, and depolarization effects, a universal methodology is established to engineer next ...

Self-induced transparency in a perfectly absorbing chiral second-harmonic generator

open access: yesPhotoniX, 2022
Transparency and perfect absorption are two contradictory terms; a perfect absorber never permits waves to transmit through. However, this statement only remains true in the linear regime, where the nonlinearity has been omitted and the physical system ...

On the amplification of sound (acoustic phonons) by absorption of laser radiation in cylindrical quantum wires [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2002
Based on the quantum transport equation for the electron-phonon system, the absorption coefficient of sound (acoustic phonons) by absorption of laser radiation in cylindrical quantum wires is calculated for the case of monophoton absorption process and the case of multiphoton absorption process.

Reduced order modelling using parameterized non-uniform boundary conditions in room acoustic simulations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Quick simulations for iterative evaluations of multi-design variables and boundary conditions are essential to find the optimal acoustic conditions in building design. We propose to use the reduced basis method (RBM) for realistic room acoustic scenarios where the surfaces have inhomogeneous acoustic properties, which enables quick evaluations of ...

A Visible Light‐Responsive Hydrogel to Study the Effect of Dynamic Tissue Stiffness on Cellular Mechanosensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A visible light‐responsive polyacrylamide‐azobenzene hydrogel enables safe, reversible stiffness control for studying cell mechanobiology without harmful UV exposure. This approach reveals stem cells respond rapidly to mechanical changes, showing altered shape and protein distribution within one hour.

Effect of Painting on the Sound Absorption of Acoustic Materials [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1940
A brief discussion is given of the properties of a material which cause it to absorb sound. Photographs are shown and the results of sound absorption measurements before and after painting are given for a number of different types of material. A brief discussion is given of the kind of paint which can be used and how it should be applied.
