High energy-rate metalworking has significant advantages, in that short time scales change the fundamental nature of the forming process and short duration impulses can be used with much lighter and more agile equipment because large static forces do not need to be resisted. Here, we propose the use of thin aluminum f…

We propose a realistic model of the optical properties of silver, in which inter-band transition with a threshold energy of ∼4 eV is described phenomenologically by an ensemble of oscillators with same damping constant and a certain distribution of resonant frequencies from the interband transition threshold to infini…

We studied the metallization behavior of molecularly thin Ru0.95O20.2− nanosheets obtained from complete delamination of a layered ruthenate, K0.2RuO2.1. Heating at 200°C under a mixture of N2 and H2 transformed multilayers of the nanosheets into hcp-Ru metals. These metals have unique morphology reflecting the multil…

In this paper we show that dye distributions within polymer core/shell nanoparticles (NPs), grown in multiple steps, are controlled not only by the synthesis route, but are also governed by dye diffusion between core and shell, resulting in dye distributions completely different from the targeted ones. We show that Fö…

Recent studies of graphene have demonstrated its great potential for highly sensitive resonators. In order to capture the intrinsic vibrational characteristics of graphene, we propose an atomistic modeling method called the elastic network model (ENM), in which a graphene sheet is modeled as a mass-spring network of a…
