The Fourier modal method for modelling crossed gratings is revisited in the case of symmetrical grating profiles. It is shown that when a plane wave is symmetrically incident on a grating, whose surface profile is mirror-reflection symmetric with respect to the two planes that are perpendicular to the grating plane an…

Abstract Nowadays, waste EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) increasingly has been causing significant environmental problems with increasing numbers of vehicles. From the perspective of the environment and economics, recycling is the best method to treat waste materials. This study investigated waste EPDM/PP (pol…

Among the various materials currently being investigated for further development of Er 3 + -doped waveguide amplifiers (EDWAs), tellurite glasses are gaining attention because of their broad emission band around 1.5 μm. Wereport our results on the fabrication of optical waveguides in two kinds of these glasses. Tungst…

The long and the short of it: Copper(II) complexes of the pentadentate bispidine ligands exist in two isomeric forms (see structure) with bond-length differences up to 0.5 Å. The stabilization of either isomer may be achieved by a variation of the substituent at N7.

Nitrogen-atom transfer from a (nitrido)manganese(V) complex to a CrIII complex of the 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole trianion gave the stable CrV nitrido complex 1 (Ar=C6F5). In contrast, treatment of the same CrIII starting material with ammonia/sodium hypochlorite gave the CrVI analogue of 1.

Findings are given from the experimental observation of the vacuum breakdown of carbon-nanotube (CNT) field emitters on a Si tip. The CNTs were grown on the apex of a Si microtip by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The electrical contact of the CNT-Si junction was shown to be of ohmic type. A fine…

Markedly improved sensitivity is achieved in a contrast agent through formation of a supramolecular adduct between a diamagnetic system endowed with a high number of exchangeable protons (poly-L-arginine) and a paramagnetic shift reagent ([Tm(Hdotp)]4−). The increase in the chemical shift separation between the two ex…

A new type of photochromic molecule containing three azobenzene groups, tris[(4-(phenylazo)diphenylamine) phenylamine] (TPPA), was synthesized and its photoinduced behavior was examined. Good optical quality TPPA films could be prepared by spin-coating. The photoinduced behavior of the TPPA films, such as photoinduced…

Abstract The surface sheet resistance of conducting films of glycerol‐doped poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxy‐thiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonate) is largely dependent on the annealing temperature. The presence of free glycerol in insufficiently baked films, as indicated by infrared spectra and thermogravimetric analysis, results…

At present, the discovery and development of phase change materials is mainly based upon empirical strategies and trial and error approaches. Here, we present a structural criterion that needs to be met to enable the mandatory fast recrystallization with sufficient optical contrast that characterizes suitable phase ch…

The comparative crystallisation and HRTEM imaging properties of simple binary halides formed by the alkali iodides MI (M = Li, K, Na, Rb and Cs) within single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are described. The most common structure type observed within SWNTs is the rocksalt archetype, although CsI was observed to form…

The surfactant-assisted seeded growth method was adapted for growth of gold nanorods directly on mica surfaces. Spherical gold seed particles were first linked to the surface and then dipped in a cationic surfactant growth solution. Part of the grown particles were nanorods with a typical length of several hundred nan…

We report on the observation of magnetoresistance in a Sr2FeMoO6 (SFMO)-based tunnel junction. This result is obtained by combining a three-step process for the growth of the Sr2FeMoO6 layer by pulsed laser deposition with a technology allowing the definition of nanometer-sized junctions. A clear positive magnetoresis…

A protocol to determine the absolute configuration of alpha-chiral carboxylic acids based on a modified circular dichroic (CD) exciton chirality method has been developed. The protocol relies on a host-guest complexation mechanism: the chiral substrates are derivatized to give bifunctional amide conjugates ("guests")…
