Fast-response, polarization-independent, and hysteresis-free phase-only modulation using a normal-mode polymer-stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) is demonstrated. Although the remaining phase change in the high-voltage regime is small, it is still useful for making microdevices. Polarization-independent tunable-foc…

In this work we have investigated the first hyperpolarizability of pNA in 1,4-dioxane solution using a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) model. The particular model adopted is the recently developed discrete solvent reaction field (DRF) model. The DRF model is a polarizable QM/MM model in which the QM part…

We report on control over the extinction spectrum of tetragonal gold nanoblocks by changing their lateral aspect ratio. Nanoblocks were patterned on a glass substrate by electron-beam lithography and were 40-400 nm in lateral dimensions and spanned from 1 to 9 in aspect ratio. This allowed us to tune the localized sur…

Abstract Some minerals are considered to be representative of specific natural environments. Among them glauconite is considered to be formed in marine deep platform conditions. However, the term glauconitic is misused to designate green minerals formed in marine outer‐shelf environments. X‐ray diffraction, scanning e…

Silicon nanocrystallites (nc-Si) were obtained by thermal annealing treatments of SiO∕SiO2 multilayers, prepared by evaporation. The nc-Si size was controlled by the SiO thickness. In this study the SiO2 thickness was maintained at 5nm and the SiO thickness was varied from 2to6nm. The film’s microstructure was studied…
