This paper investigates the radiation properties of two coupled split-ring resonators (SRRs). Due to electromagnetic coupling, two hybrid magnetic plasmon modes were induced in the structure. Our calculations show that the radiation loss of the structure was greatly suppressed by the hybridization effect. This led to…

We show that chiral ordering of the underlying complex fluid strongly influences defect formation and colloidal interactions. Nonsingular defect loops with a topological charge -2 are observed, with a cross section identical to hyperbolic vortices in magnetic systems. These loops are binding spontaneously formed pairs…

Abstract Banana starch was oxidized at three different levels and afterwards acetylated. The double‐modified starch was used for film preparation with the addition of chitosan. The physical, mechanical, and barrier properties were tested. The oxidation level increased the moisture content of the film, but the acetylat…

We investigate numerically static and dynamic properties of cholesteric blue phases. Our study is based on a Landau-de Gennes theory describing the orientational order of a liquid crystal in terms of a second-rank tensor. To find the shape and size of the unit cell conforming to the minimum of the free energy, we let…

The velocity field in the vicinity of a laser-generated cavitation bubble in water is investigated by means of particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). Two situations are explored: a bubble collapsing spherically and a bubble collapsing aspherically near a rigid wall. In the first case, the accuracy of the PTV method is a…

The thermal conductance of nanoscale phonon modes is typically calculated using the Boltzmann transport equation. A particular implementation of this method is the acoustic mismatch model (AMM) that compares impedance ratios at a mathematically abrupt transition between two equilibrium regions. The shortcomings of thi…
