Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The classical example for thermally driven turbulence is Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) flow, i.e., flow in a box heated from below and cooled from above. In this thesis three aspects of RB convection are studied: I - High Rayleigh Ra number thermal convection, II – Rotating RB convection, and III - 2D RB convection.

Atoms riding Rayleigh waves

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2010
Under special kinematic conditions helium atoms impinging upon a crystal surface can be inelastically trapped into a surface bound state and ride the created Rayleigh wave. This special case of phonon-assisted selective adsorption, leading to an atom-phonon bound state (atomic polaron), can explain previously unassigned resonant features observed in ...

Block Copolymers: Emerging Building Blocks for Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review addresses how block copolymer (BCP) physics and rheology have led to the widespread use of BCPs in advanced additive manufacturing techniques, with particular emphasis on the untapped potential of these nanostructured materials toward achieving multi‐scale architected materials with unique, programmable material properties.

Rayleigh wave manipulation based on phase shift between two periodic surface corrugations

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2023
The propagation of Rayleigh waves along solid surfaces has attracted great attention due to its ubiquity in seismic waves, non-destructive evaluation, acoustic surface wave devices, and so on.

All‐Aqueous Pullulan Fibers Enabling Visible‐to‐Near‐Infrared Waveguiding with Mechanical and Thermal Resilience

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Pullulan, a biomass‐derived polysaccharide, is transformed into transparent optical fibers using a solvent‐free borax hydrogel‐spinning method. The fibers outperform PMMA with ≈200 MPa tensile strength and 200 °C stability, while uniquely guiding visible‐to‐NIR light and enabling additive‐free humidity sensing.

Switchable Thermal Mid‐IR Conducting Polymer Antenna Arrays

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents switchable mid‐infrared plasmonic resonances in PEDOT antenna arrays. Their optical extinction peaks can be reversibly switched ‘OFF’ and ‘ON’ by tuning the polaronic charge carrier concentration via the polymer's redox state, offering modulation of optical responses in the thermal mid‐infrared range including around 10 µm ...

Non‐Rayleigh Statistics of Ultrasonic Backscattered Echo from Tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The envelope of the backscattered signal from tissues can exhibit non‐Rayleigh statistics if the number density of scatterers is small or if the variations in the scattering cross sections are random. The K distribution which has been used extensively in

Wave attenuation in glasses: Rayleigh and generalized-Rayleigh scattering scaling

open access: yes, 2019
The attenuation of long-wavelength phonons (waves) by glassy disorder plays a central role in various glass anomalies, yet it is neither fully characterized, nor fully understood. Of particular importance is the scaling of the attenuation rate $\Gamma(k)$

Programmable In‐Situ Interactions Between Resins and Photopolymerized Structures for Seamlessly Integrated Optical Manufacturing of Microlenses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a dynamic interaction between liquid resins and photopolymerized structures enabled by an in situ light‐writing setup. By controlling a three‐phase interface through localized photopolymerization, which provides physical confinement for the remaining uncured resin regions, the approach establishes a programmable pathway that ...
