With experimental results, we demonstrate the generation of high-order Laguerre-Gaussian modes with non-zero radial indices using a metal meta-surface, which is composed of a series of rectangle nanoholes with different orientation angles. The phase shift after transmission through the metasurface is determined by the…

To elucidate the persistent luminescence mechanism of the Ce3+-Cr3+-codoped Y3Al2Ga3O12 garnet (YAGG), the valence states of Ce and Cr ions before and during UV charging were investigated by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. In the XANES spectra for Ce LIII and Cr K edges of YAGG:Ce3+-Cr3+ und…

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a white color additive that has a long history of global approval and use in food. There is, however, considerable confusion regarding the applicability of the biological effects of novel, engineered, nano‐sized forms of TiO 2 developed for nonpigmentary applications to the safety…

Because of their good behavior under irradiation, fuel elements based on U3Si2 particles dispersed in an Al matrix have been used to convert to low-enriched uranium in a large number of research reactors. This behavior is extended to any compound grown by interdiffusion between silicide and Al during the fabrication p…

Star-shaped molecules with three mutually immiscible arms self-assemble to form a variety of novel structures, with conformations that attempt to minimize interfacial area between the domains composed of the different arms. The geometric frustration caused by the joining of these arms at a common centre limits the siz…

A new type of atom‐thin carbon nanomesh clusters (CMCs) is prepared through a self‐sacrificial and morphology‐reserved thermal transformation of electrodeposited zinc coordination polymer (Zn‐CP). Such a unique structure can effectively inhibit the sheet stacking due to the self‐formed cluster morphology of Zn‐CP. The…

When a semiflexible chain is confined in a narrow cylindrical tube, the formation of a polymer hairpin is a geometrical conformation that accompanies an exponentially large local free energy and, hence, is a relatively rare event. Numerical solutions of the hairpin distribution functions for persistence-length-to-tube…
