Uniform Amorphization of Crystalline Silicon Surfaces Enabled by Deep Ultraviolet Femtosecond Laser Pulses

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Deep‐UV (258 nm) femtosecond pulses enable uniform amorphous silicon writing on Si(100)/(111) with a six‐fold larger fluence amorphization window than NIR methods. Optimized fluence and overlap yield 20–45 nm uniform and continuous amorphous layers. Microscopy shows sharp interfaces, and real‐time reflectivity reveals nanosecond melt–resolidification ...

Enhanced Ultrasound Transmission Through Aberration Layers Using Space‐Coiling Acoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Enhancing ultrasound transmission through an aberration layer exhibiting mismatched impedance with the surrounding medium possesses great implications in imaging and treatment. In this study, we show that a space‐coiling acoustic metamaterial with judiciously tailored structural profile can help improve impedance matching.

Wave scattering of non-planar trifurcated waveguide by varying the incident through multiple regions

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
This article elucidates a non-planar trifurcated wave scattering problem by considering incident wave through multiple regions of the underlying waveguide. The scattered field potentials in respective duct regions are obtained via mode-matching technique

Scattering of ultrashort electron wave packets: optical theorem, differential phase contrast and angular asymmetries

New Journal of Physics
Recent advances in electron microscopy allowed the generation of high-energy electron wave packets of ultrashort duration. Here we present a non-perturbative S -matrix theory for scattering of ultrashort electron wave packets by atomic targets.

Polarizable Vanadium Dipoles Promote Water Dissociation on Vanadium‐Based Metal Organic Framework

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polarization of unpaired V 3d electrons weakens the H─O bond to improve water dissociation by the dual Vδ+:O─H and Pλ−:H─O coupling hydrogen bonds formation and relaxation. P@V‐MOF electrocatalyst shows low overpotentials (94 mV in acid, 178 mV in neutral, and 77 mV in alkaline solutions) with excellent stability for effective overall water ...

Robust Electrocaloric Performance Enabled by Highly‐Polar Frustrated Nanodomains in NaNbO3‐Based Ferrodistortive Relaxor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
P4bm framework in NaNbO3‐Ba(Ti, Hf)O3 ferrodistortive relaxor entails short‐range and highly‐polar ferrodistortive orders. The abundant highly‐polar orders facilitate to increase entropy change, and robust octahedral oxygen tilt enables to impede thermal perturbations.

Subcritical scattering from buried elastic sphere based on subsonic Rayleigh waves

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science
This study investigates the scattering characteristics of a buried elastic sphere under plane wave subcritical incidence at low-frequency. As the penetrating wave in sediment at subcritical angles transitions to an evanescent wave, it decays along the ...
