Composite Materials with Enhanced Conductivities [PDF]
Advanced Engineering Materials, 2016 The authors have analyzed the isotropic thermal/electrical conductivities of two types of specially structured composite materials. Closed‐form results have been obtained for predicting the conductivities of the composites, and the accuracy has been verified by FE simulations.

Toughening materials: enhancing resistance to fracture [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2021 It has been said that ‘God invented plasticity, but the Devil invented fracture!’ Both mechanisms represent the two prime modes of structural failure, respectively, plastic collapse and the rupture/breaking of a component, but the concept of developing materials with enhanced resistance to fracture can be difficult.

Recognition of dipole-induced electric field in 2D materials for surface-enhanced Raman scattering
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 The application of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including metallic graphene, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, and insulating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) for surface-enhancement Raman spectroscopy has attracted extensive research ...

Large optical field enhancement for nanotips with large opening angles [PDF]
, 2015 We theoretically investigate the dependence of the enhancement of optical near-fields at nanometric tips on the shape, size, and material of the tip. We confirm a strong dependence of the field enhancement factor on the radius of curvature.
