Electric‐field‐assisted spin coating is introduced as a wet‐film processing route for guiding perovskite crystallization. A transient perpendicular field produces distinct structural maxima rather than monotonic grain growth: largest scanning electron microscopy (SEM)‐derived grain size at nominal 2 kV cm−1${\rm cm}^{-1}$, largest X‐ray diffraction ...

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering
Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create

This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.
