Internal triaxial strain imaging of visibly opaque black rubbers with terahertz polarization spectroscopy

APL Photonics, 2017
We demonstrate the nondestructive imaging of internal triaxial strain in visibly opaque black rubbers by employing the polarization-sensitive terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (PS THz-TDS) technique.

Loading Mode Dependence of Twin‐Twin Boundary Formation in a Textured Magnesium Alloy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The structures of twin‐twin boundaries formed by interactions between twin variants sharing the same or different zone axes in a deformed magnesium alloy are demonstrated. Lattice distortion around complicated interfaces promotes grain refinement in the subsequent thermomechanical process, enhancing the mechanical performance of magnesium alloys ...

Covalently bonded interfaces for polymer/graphene composites [PDF]

, 2013
The interface is well known for taking a critical role in the determination of the functional and mechanical properties of polymer composites. Previous interface research has focused on utilising reduced graphene oxide that is limited by a low structural

Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Edge Emitting Lasers Integrated on Silicon

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, the first monolithic integration of Pb‐chalcogenide CQDs in an edge‐emitting DFB laser cavity onto a Si/SiO2 substrate has been demonstrated. The optimizations of SiO2 layer thickness, engineering of the grating duty cycle, and implementing λ/4 phase shift resulted in the achievement of spectrally pure, single‐mode lasing at 1650 nm with ...
