The extraordinary properties of second harmonic generation in negative-index metamaterials, where the Poynting vector and the wavevector have opposite directions are investigated. The "backward" phase-matching condition results in significant changes in the Manley-Rowe relations and in spatial distributions of the fie…

We describe here the first example of an iterative convergent strategy for the synthesis of dendritically branched polymers involving condensation coupling reactions of AB 2 macromonomers. The macromonomers were synthesized by living anionic polymerization, initiated with 3- tert -butyldimethylsiloxy-1-propyllithium a…

Cholesteric liquid crystals (ChLCs) exhibit two stable states at zero field condition - the reflecting planar state and the nonreflecting focal conic state. ChLCs are an excellent candidate for inexpensive and rugged electronic books and papers. This paper will review the display cell structure, materials and drive sc…

Exposure of thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles supported on silicon wafers to UV light leads to oxidation of the thiol molecules and coagulation of the nanoparticles, forming densified structures that are resistant to removal by solvent exposure. Unoxidized particles may, in contrast, readily be removed leaving gold…

A brushless excitation system model is set forth that includes an average-value rectifier representation that is valid for all three rectification modes. Furthermore, magnetic hysteresis is incorporated into the d-axis of the excitation using Preisach's theory. The resulting model is very accurate and is ideal for sit…

The adsorption of two different proteins at a planar poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brush was studied as a function of the ionic strength of the protein solutions applying total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) spectroscopy. Planar PAA brushes were prepared with a grafting density of 0.11 nm(-2) and were characterize…

The systematic assembly of nanoscale constituents into highly ordered superlattices is of significant interest because of the potential of their multifunctionalities and the discovery of new collective properties. However, successful observations of such superlattice-associated nanoscale phenomena are still elusive. H…

Stable suspensions of size-uniform spherical assemblies of 5-8 nm gold colloids in toluene are readily obtained by cross linking the colloidal particles using alkanedithiols within a defined range of gold-dithiol molar ratios. The assemblies are very stable and remain suspended in toluene for several months without si…

Ni nanowires were deposited into nanoporous alumina by pulse electrodeposition. The temperature dependent magnetic properties are analyzed in detail and a maximum of coercivity and anisotropy field is observed around room temperature which cannot simply be explained by shape anisotropy. A model is proposed which consi…

Sequential assembly of protein and polyelectrolyte in mesoporous silica (MS) spheres leads to the formation of nanoporous protein particles (NPPs); the MS templates are removed after the fabrication process (see figure). The NPPs based on catalase show excellent biological activity, with up to 57 % of the activity ret…

A new series of layered magnets with the formula [M(L-tartrate)] (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II); L-tartrate = (2R,3R)-(+)-tartrate) has been prepared. All of these compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the chiral orthorhombic space group I222, as found by X-ray structure analysis. Their structure consist…

The uniaxial-film-compensated wide-view liquid crystal displays, with initially homogeneous alignment and vertical alignment, are analyzed. For each compensation scheme, the analytical solutions with the illustration of Poincare sphere representation are derived. Based on the analytical solutions, the 100:1 iso-contra…

We carried out Raman measurements on neutron-irradiated and Al-doped MgB$_2$ samples. The irradiation-induced topological disorder causes an unexpected appearance of high frequency spectral structures, similar to those observed in lightly Al-doped samples. Our results show that disorder-induced violations of the selec…

In this paper, we review the properties of up-conversion (UC) materials and assess their potential for a new display technology. UC materials absorb near infrared light and re-emit in the visible. Some of their most appealing characteristics for displays are: a wide color gamut with very saturated colors, very high br…

We study the dynamics and equilibrium profile shapes of contact lines for wetting in the case of a spatially inhomogeneous solid wall with stripe defects. Using a phase-field model with conserved dynamics, we first numerically determine the contact line behavior in the case of a stripe defect of varying width. For nar…

Using molecular-dynamics simulations and integral equations (Rogers-Young, Percus-Yevick, and hypernetted chain closures) we investigate the thermodynamics of particles interacting with continuous core-softened intermolecular potential. Dynamic properties are also analyzed by the simulations. We show that, for a chose…
