Plasmon-Assisted Direction- and Polarization-Sensitive Organic Thin-Film Detector

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Utilizing Bragg surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on metal nanostructures for the use in optical devices has been intensively investigated in recent years. Here, we demonstrate the integration of nanostructured metal electrodes into an ITO-free thin film

Diffraction at a Curved Grating: Approximation by an Infinite Plane Grating

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1996
The effect of curvature of a cylindrical grating on the diffraction of TE and TM polarized electromagnetic plane waves is considered. For every ratio of the wavelength \(\lambda\) to the period \(d\) a local approximation is established in the planar field by a plane infinite grating, when the radius \(R\) of the circular grating goes to infinity ...

Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.

Flow-regulating mechanisms of gratings and their design implications in lateral-intake multiple forebays

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
Lateral-intake multiple forebays, widely used in large urban water supply pumping stations, are prone to undesired flow patterns such as recirculation, helical flow and vortices due to lateral inflow and limited space, necessitating flow-regulating ...

Tailored Diketopyrrolopyrrole Derivatives for Efficient Deep‐Red Organic Lasers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tailored diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives exhibit high stable amplified spontaneous emission with single or dual bands. Incorporated into distributed‐feedback lasers based on one‐ and two‐dimensional dichromated‐gelatin diffractive gratings, these materials provide a robust, flexible platform for integrated organic deep‐red light sources. ABSTRACT Deep‐

Chemical Control of Space Charge Barriers and Grain Boundary Resistances in Polycrystalline Ionic Conductors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline materials often block charge transport and drive degradation. Using Gd‐doped CeO2 as a model electrolyte used in fuel/electrolysis cells, we developed a core‐shell infiltration method to selectively modify GB chemistry and space charge potential, achieving orders‐of‐magnitude ionic conductivity changes.

Freestanding HfO2 grating fabricated by fast atom beam etching

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2011
We report here the fabrication of freestanding HfO2 grating by combining fast atom beam etching (FAB) of HfO2 film with dry etching of silicon substrate. HfO2 film is deposited onto silicon substrate by electron beam evaporator.

Mode Optimization and Polarization Control in VCSELs with Sub-Wavelength Gratings

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal
We have demonstrated the integration of sub-wavelength gratings (SWG) into a 795 nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) with inverse surface relief to achieve coordinated control of the mode and polarization. At a grating period of around 0.5 &

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
