The frequency dependence of the magnetic energy losses in sintered Mn–Zn ferrites is predicted from the quasistatic regime to the megahertz range. The predicting model is based on the appraisal of the contributions by domain wall (dw) displacements and magnetization rotations and the related relaxation-resonant-type d…

The dimensionality of a system has a profound influence on its physical behavior, especially for nanostructured materials where at least one of the dimensions is less than 100 nm and, in many instances, the size is comparable with the size of many fundamental physical quantities. Carbon-based nanostructured materials…

A study has been conducted into the dyeing of poly(lactic acid) fibres in supercritical carbon dioxide. The fibres were completely dyed using disperse dyes at 50 °C as shown by fibre cross‐sections, although high colour depths in dark shades still prove challenging. Dye uptake increased significantly at temperatures ≥…

The effect of electrodeposition frequency and waveform on the magnetic properties and microstructures of Co nanowires were investigated. The results show that depending on the value of the electrodeposition frequency appreciable changes in the crystalline anisotropy can be induced. These changes are attributed to modi…

Colloidal dot-, rod-, and tetrapod-shaped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) are obtained by varying the precursor concentration and the ligands. Both the dot- and rod-shaped NCs are of zinc-blende phase, whereas the tetrapod-shaped NCs are a mixture of zinc-blende and wurtzite structures. It is proposed that the concentration o…

We investigate the hole trapping process of a neutral oxygen vacancy in amorphous silicon dioxide $(a\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{O}}_{2})$ using cluster calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) method. We show that trapping a hole at a neutral oxygen vacancy leads to the formation of seve…

We have demonstrated a guided-mode resonance filter (GMRF) whose properties are tunable with laser illumination through the incorporation of a nonlinear dye. Laser illumination causes a change in the refractive index of the dye-doped portion of the structure, leading to controlled tuning of the GMRF reflectance spectr…
