Abstract Micromachining of chemical reactors enables the manufacture of microchannel reactors with unsually large surface‐to‐volume ratios. This can strongly affect the coupling between heterogeneous (wall) reactions and homogeneous (gas‐phase) reactions, ultimately leading to a complete quenching of homogeneous react…

Minimalist theories of complex systems are broadly of two kinds: mean field and axiomatic. So far, all theories of complex properties absent from simple systems and intrinsic to glasses are axiomatic. Stretched Exponential Relaxation (SER) is the prototypical complex temporal property of glasses, discovered by Kohlrau…

The conduction type of P doped ZnO thin films using Zn3P2 dopant source can be controlled by adjusting the oxygen partial pressure by means of radio-frequency sputtering. Under an optimal oxygen partial pressure of 5%, p-type ZnO thin films were obtained with a hole concentration of 1.93×1016–3.84×1019cm−3. Under a gr…

The significance of gate electrode processes to the transfer characteristics of electrochemical transistors is demonstrated using a device based on a polyacetylene ionomer. Two regimes of operation are identified. The first involves a conventional redox process where two Faradaic processes balance: oxidative doping of…

Abstract In this work the maximum entropy method (MEM) is applied, for the first time, to angle‐resolved X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) data from oxy‐hydroxide films on iron surfaces. This nondestructively derives information on the in‐depth distribution of the composition and chemical state. An MEM algorith…

The problem of the design of artificial magnetic resonators for isotropic metamaterials is addressed. The internal symmetries that ensure an isotropic behavior of such resonators are analyzed and some specific designs based on the proper arrangement of modified split ring resonators are proposed. These proposals are v…
