Hidden symmetries in plasmonic gratings [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B 95 (15), 155401 (2017), 2018
Plasmonic gratings constitute a paradigmatic instance of the wide range of applications enabled by plasmonics. While subwavelength metal gratings find applications in optical biosensing and photovoltaics, atomically thin gratings achieved by periodically doping a graphene monolayer perform as metasurfaces for the control of terahertz radiation.

Optimization of neutron diffraction from phase-gratings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The recent development of phase-grating moir\'e neutron interferometry promises a wide range of impactful experiments from dark-field imaging of material microstructure to precise measurements of fundamental constants. However, the contrast of 3 % obtained using this moir\'e interferometer was well below the theoretical prediction of 30 % using ideal ...

Reflectionless grating coupling for silicon-on-insulator integrated circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We propose a novel grating coupler design which is inherently reflectionless by focusing the reflected light away from the entrance waveguide.

Interaction between luminance gratings and disparity gratings

open access: yesSpatial Vision, 2004
It was shown from geometry and photographic measurement that the shading pattern for a sinusoidal corrugated surface of frequency f approximates to a luminance-defined grating of frequency f, 2f or f + 2f in specific relative phase. It was confirmed that a luminance grating modifies the appearance of a suprathreshold stereoscopic corrugated surface ...

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Efficiency Measurements and Installation of a New Grating for the OSIRIS Spectrograph at Keck Observatory

open access: yes, 2014
OSIRIS is a near-infrared integral field spectrograph operating behind the adaptive optics system at W. M. Keck Observatory. While OSIRIS has been a scientifically productive instrument to date, its sensitivity has been limited by a grating efficiency ...

Wetting of Surface Grafted Hydrophilic‐b‐Hydrophobic Block Copolymer Brushes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The wetting properties of surface grafted diblock copolymer brushes are influenced by the thickness of the hydrophilic bottom block and the hydrophobic top block. The surface adapts in presence of water and the contact angles of the bottom block shine through. Abstract The wetting of diblock copolymer brushes by water is studied.

Advances in Radiative Heat Transfer: Bridging Far‐Field Fundamentals and Emerging Near‐Field Innovations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the evolution of radiative heat transfer, emphasizing the transition from far‐field to near‐field regimes. Traditional frameworks, such as Planck's law, are revisited alongside modern innovations like fluctuational electrodynamics. Applications span nanoscale thermal management, energy harvesting, and thermophotovoltaic systems.
