Analytic evaluation of diffuse fluence error in multi-layer scattering media with discontinuous refractive index

open access: yes, 2012
A simple analytic method of estimating the error involved in using an approximate boundary condition for diffuse radiation in two adjoining scattering media with differing refractive index is presented.

Shape Memory Polymer‐Based Hook‐and‐Loop Fastener for Robust Bonding and on‐Demand Easy Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D shape memory polymer‐based hook‐and‐loop fastener, fabricated using projection microstereolithography and molding, offers tunable bonding strength through temperature control. When heated from 25 to 70 °C, the fastener softens and deforms easily, reducing bonding strength by 20‐fold for on‐demand easy separation.

Self-Mixing Interferometer Based on Frequency Analysis Method for Accurate Refractive Index Measurement

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
A new method based on self-mixing interference (SMI) for refractive index measurement by means of simply frequency analysis is proposed. The optical phase shift is implemented by translating a transparent object through a motorized stage with a setting ...

The Effect of Elastic–Plastic Mismatch and Interface Proximity on the Fracture Toughness of Ti‐TiN Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Multilayering of TiN film with metallic Ti film is adopted to enhance the fracture resistance of TiN thin films. Plastic dissipation within Ti with process zone size of ≈250 nm, along with elastic–plastic mismatch driven changes to crack driving force enhances the crack growth resistance by ten times, enabling physics informed design of optimized ...

Refractive index evaluation of porous silicon using Bragg reflectors

open access: yes, 2017
There are two main physical properties needed to fabricate 1D photonic structures and form perfect photonic bandgaps: the quality of the thickness periodicity and the refractive index of their components. Porous silicon (PS) is a nano-structured material

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...

Diffractive optics approach towards subwavelength pixels

open access: yes, 2018
Pixel size in cameras and other refractive imaging devices is typically limited by the free-space diffraction. However, a vast majority of semiconductor-based detectors are based on materials with substantially high refractive index.
