Membranes with 1-100 nm nanopores are widely used in water purification and in biotechnology, but are prone to blockage and fouling. Reversibly assembled nanoporous membranes may be advantageous due to recyclability, cleaning, and retentate recovery, as well as the ability to tune the pore size. We report the preparat…

Abstract Porous polymeric films are of paramount importance in many areas of modern science and technology. However, processing methods typically based on direct writing, imprint, and lithography techniques have low throughput and are often limited to specific fabricated shapes. Herein, we demonstrate the directional…

The magneto- and Hall resistance of a locally gated cross shaped graphene Hall bar is calculated. The edge of the top gate is placed diagonally across the center of the Hall cross. Four-probe resistance is calculated using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism, while the transmission coefficients are obtained using the non-…

A monolayer of graphene strongly enhances the bi-exciton emission efficiency of CdSe/CdS core/thick-shell nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs), the so-called “giant”-NQDs. As an explanation, a new plasmon mode is proposed, resulting from local oscillations of excess hole density (the hole puddle) that is accumulated direct…

We investigate the topological transition in metamaterials considering a structure composed of the uniaxial electric scatterers. Our study is based on the discrete dipole model, which allows us to take into account the effects of spatial dispersion in the structure. The nonlocal effects lead to the existence of the tr…
