Beyond Thin Film Limits—Superhard and Hydrogen‐Free Amorphous Carbon Coatings With Over 100 µm Thickness

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
For the first time, an extreme‐thick laser‐arc PVD ta‐C (DLC) coating exceeding 100 µm is demonstrated, opening up new possibilities for ultra‐high load bearing capacity. This superhard amorphous carbon architecture combines >50% sp3 bonding, robust adhesion and self‐supporting performance, shielding substrates from plastic flow under extreme contact ...

Hyperconvexity and endpoints in T₀-quasi-metric spaces [PDF]

, 2013
Over the last decades much progress has been made in the investigation of hyperconvexity in metric spaces. Recently Kemajou and others have published an article concerning hyperconvexity in T₀-quasi-metric spaces.

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Oversampling, quasi-affine frames, and wave packets

Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, 2004
Two families \(\{f_n\},\{g_n\}\) of elements in a Hilbert space \(H\) form a reproducing system if \(f= \sum \langle f,g_n\rangle f_n\) for all \(f\in H\). Three of the authors of the present paper previously obtained characterizations of reproducing systems of a very general type, including wavelet systems and Gabor systems; here these results are ...

UNIQUE FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR CONTRACTIVE MAPS TYPE IN T 0 -QUASI-METRIC SPACES [PDF]

, 2014
In [2], Agyingi proved that every generalized contractive mapping defined in a q-spherically complete T 0 -ultra-quasi-metric space has a unique fixed point.

Bistable Isochoric Chiral Metamaterials with Reprogrammable Multiaxial Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An isochoric bistable rotational unit cell enables in situ modification of internal contact conditions post‐fabrication, without altering the global envelope dimensions of the surrounding architecture. By selectively switching between open and closed states, the tessellated chiral metamaterial can reprogram its volumetric response, including bulk ...

Translational dynamics of bridled kites: a reduced-order model in the course reference frame [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
The design and control of airborne wind energy systems requires fast, validated reduced-order models. Because the aerodynamic identification of soft, bridled kites is challenging, models that minimise the number of parameters to be identified can be ...

Single‐Chromophore Homojunction Organic Solar Cells: A Path to Simplicity and Efficiency

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses how the intrinsic optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors, their molecular packing in the solid‐state, and internal energetic gradients within a device can enable free‐charge carrier generation in homojunction organic solar cells.
