The interface of semiconductor nanocrystals is a critical factor for determining their performance in light emissive applications. Traditional nanocrystals have an abrupt termination of the core/shell interface. Recent synthetic work has focused upon developing graded core/shell interfaces via alloying. Here, we emplo…

Stenosis limits widespread use of tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs), and bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) seeding attenuates this complication. Yet seeding is a multistep process, and the singular effects of each component are unknown. We investigated which components of the clinical seeding protocol conf…

Magnetism due to vacancies in graphene has been a controversial topic, with conflicting results in the literature. This work aims to shine some light on the discussion by calculating the charging energy $U$, a key measure that encodes the local electron-electron Coulomb interaction in the vacancy-induced state. By com…

Low cycle fatigue behavior of extruded AZ80 magnesium alloy was investigated under uniaxial tension-compression at different strain amplitudes and strain rates. The results show that the extruded AZ80 magnesium alloy exhibits cyclic hardening at strain amplitudes ranging from 0.4% to 1.0%, the asymmetry of hysteresis…

We propose a novel design principle for ultrathin metasurfaces to realize optically amplified sensing with a performance that exceeds those of passive coherent perfect absorbers by several orders of magnitude. Our strategy is based on a generalized condition of lasing, coherent perfect absorption and their coexistence…

Nonlinear optical effects play key roles to communication, sensing, imaging, and so on. Recently, nonlinear scattering (saturation and reverse saturation) was discovered in gold nanospheres, providing a novel approach to nonbleaching super-resolution microscopy. However, the nonlinearity was previously limited to gree…

The microstructure of highly porous cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels is investigated via transmission electron microscope (TEM) tomography. The aerogels were fabricated by first supercritically drying a carboxylated CNC organogel and then coating via atomic layer deposition with a thin conformal layer of Al2O3 to…

We derive the hydrodynamic equations for nematic liquid crystals lying on curved substrates. We invoke the Lagrange-Rayleigh variational principle to adapt the Ericksen-Leslie theory to two-dimensional nematics in which a degenerate anchoring of the molecules on the substrate is enforced. The only constitutive assumpt…

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is known to have a semiconductor-to-metal phase transition at ∼68 °C. Therefore, it can be used as a tunable component of an active metamaterial. The lamellar metamaterial studied in this work is composed of subwavelength VO2 and Au layers and is designed to undergo a temperature controlled tran…

By varying the bias voltage of an Mg x Zn1-x O/ZnO metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PDs), the detection wavelength can be modulated from a single to a dual wavelength. A long-wavelength band response is caused by the ZnO absorption and a short-wavelength band response is caused by Mg x Zn1-x O. At a 0 V bi…

Boron suboxide B6O, the hardest known oxide, has an Rm crystal structure (α-B6O) that can be described as an oxygen-stuffed structure of α-boron, or, equivalently, as a cubic close packing of B12 icosahedra with two oxygen atoms occupying all octahedral voids in it. Here we show a new ground state of this compound at…
