Porosity Effect on Surface Plasmon Resonance from Metallic Sculptured Thin Films [PDF]
, 2008 When a sculptured thin film (STF), made of a metal and $\leq50$ nm thick, is used in lieu of a dense layer of metal in the Kretschmann configuration, experimental data for an STF comprising parallel tilted nanowires shows that a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can still be excited.

The Center is Everywhere [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 "The Center is Everywhere" is a sculpture by Josiah McElheny, currently (through October 14, 2012) on exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. The sculpture is based on data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), using hundreds of glass crystals and lamps suspended from brass rods to represent the three-dimensional structure mapped by ...

From Images to 3D Shape Attributes [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Our goal in this paper is to investigate properties of 3D shape that can be determined from a single image. We define 3D shape attributes -- generic properties of the shape that capture curvature, contact and occupied space. Our first objective is to infer these 3D shape attributes from a single image.

La lettre du Collège de France, 2014 Using material for thinking is not as unusual as one may imagine. We all have had the experience of wanting to write down an idea, a thought or an emotion but when we come to write it down we sit there with pencil and paper or, if you prefer, keyboard and screen, trying out words and phrases until we find the right sentences to express our thoughts, to

Sculptured Thin Films: Accomplishments and Emerging Uses [PDF]
Materials Science and Engineering C, Vol. 19, pp. 427-434 (2002), 2001 Sculptured thin films (STFs) are nano-engineered materials whose columnar morphology is tailored to elicit desired optical responses upon excitation. Two canonical forms of STFs have been identified. Linear constitutive relations for general STFs as unidirectionally nonhomogeneous (continuously or piecewise uniformly) and locally bianisotropic ...
