We synthesized 1,2,3-triazole-linked azobenzene dendrons of four generations. No protection−deprotection approach was needed during the generation development via click reaction. The photoisomerization of azobenzene dendrons was studied using UV–vis spectra. The cis isomers of these dendrons were more stable than tran…

We report the experimental demonstration of a large fabrication tolerance for a single-layer, highly reflective high-index-contrast subwavelength grating (HCG) mirror. HCG vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are demonstrated with plusmn20% variation in the HCG critical dimension. Emission wavelength of th…

We describe a time-domain simulation technique for nonlinear hysteretic transformer behavior based on the Jiles-Atherton model but with variable parameters. The normal Jiles-Atherton model assumes its parameters are independent of the applied maximum (peak) magnetic field intensityHmax. In this paper, we demonstrate t…

A comparison is made of the quantitative detection of a labeled antibody by surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) and by fluorescence using the same instrument with the same laser excitation source. The area under the curve for the fluorescence band is greater than for any single peak in the SERRS spectr…

In this study we applied Rheo-NMR to investigate the structural change of Bombyx mori silk fibroin in aqueous solution under shear. Monitoring the time dependence of 1H solution NMR spectra of silk fibroin subjected to constant shear strain, signal intensities of random coil decreased suddenly during shear while peaks…

An experimental evidence of a remarkable enhancement of strain-induced crystallization in natural rubber nanocomposite under uniaxial stretching, due to the presence of nanoclay particles, is described. Synchroton wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) have been used to monitor structure changes and crystallinity develop…

The force, f, required to slide a drop past a surface is often considered in the literature as linear with the drop width, w, so that f/w = const. Furthermore, according to the Dussan equation for the case that the advancing and receding contact angles are constant with drop size, one can further simplify the above pr…

Isophlorins and its analogues bridge the structural features between porphyrins and annulenes. Invariably they are known to be unstable but can be stabilized by appropriate substituents in the core and periphery of a macrocycle. Solid-state characterization of these 20pi systems displays planarity for each macrocycle…
