We investigate the conditions under which single layer metamaterials may be described by bulk optical constants. Terahertz time domain spectroscopy is utilized to investigate two types of geometries, both with two different sizes of embedding dielectric---cubic and tetragonal unit cells. The tetragonal metamaterials a…

A glass with the composition BaO·Al 2 O 3 ·B 2 O 3 was thermally annealed at temperatures from 700 to 780 °C for 1–8 h. This resulted in the crystallization of [0001]-oriented rhombohedral BaAl 2 B 2 O 7 at the surface of the glass. The crystals grow fastest perpendicular to their c -axes (parallel to the surface) and…

Graphene nanoflakes provide a range of opportunities for engineering graphene for future applications, due to the large number of configurational degrees of freedom associated with the addition of different types of corners and edge states in the structure. Since these materials can, in principle, span the molecular t…

Density functional theory calculations and theoretical representations of the density of states (DOS) were undertaken in order to understand the electronic properties of silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc), when partially passivated with Cl and F. Effects relating to cluster size (Si 29, Si 35, and Si 87 ), type, and percent…

Sphere segment void (SSV) arrays allow the reproducible engineering of plasmon-polariton modes from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet through the tuning of the void height and diameter. The wavelength dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can then in principle be controlled by selecting these param…

A method combining hydrogen passivation and ultrasonication was developed for the first time to disperse multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethanol solution and epoxy resin. Excellent dispersion of MWCNTs was achieved in both media. Three-point bending tests of the MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites revealed a remarkab…

Mg-Al-CO3 LDH was synthetized, using co-, and was used in flame-retardant paper as filler. The crystallizations, granularities of Mg-Al LDH, and characters of flame-retardant papers were investigated through XRD, FT-IR, TEM, TG-DTA, and SEM techniques. The results indicated that Mg-Al hydrotalcites were layered hexago…
