Abstract Enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure chelated boronate–imine complexes 5 and a library of boronate–amine complexes 8 have been synthesized by taking advantage of a modular concept based on aromatic aldehydes, aminoethanols and boronic acids. The configuration of the amine complexes 8 featuring stable…

We present what we believe to be the first study of deep subwavelength surface modes in binary metal-dielectric metamaterials. By employing anomalous coupling in binary periodicity, peculiar properties of band structure and eigenmode symmetry are obtained. We show that strongly confined plasmonic Tamm-like and Shockle…

Abstract A series of polyimides containing ether and ketone moieties were synthesized from 1,3‐bis(4‐fluorobenzoyl) benzene and several commercially available dianhydrides via a conventional two‐step polymerization. The inherent viscosities of Polyamide acids ranged from 0.46 to 0.73 dL/g. Thermal properties, mechanic…

The influence of triple-junctions on experimental Ge diffusion profiles (850–1000 °C) in nanocrystalline Si is investigated using three-dimensional finite element simulations. We found that triple-junction diffusion is not negligible in nanocrystalline Si made of 40 nm wide grains. Ge triple-junction diffusion coeffic…

The secondary electron emission of the tube bodies of single-walled carbon nanotubes is found to be ultrahigh and comparable with that of diamond, when the nanotubes are connected with electron reservoir. Both of semiconducting and metallic nanotubes possess this property.

We find localized electron and hole states in a ring-shaped potential kink in biased bilayer graphene. Within the continuum description, we show that for sharp potential steps the Dirac equation describing carrier states close to the K (or K′) point of the first Brillouin zone can be solved analytically for a circular…

In the present work we show that synthesis of gold nanoparticles (NPs) could be performed by microwave-assisted technique without the need of adding any reducing agent. Only water and the gold salt precursor are necessary to generate the NPs under the influence of microwaves. The produced NPs have been characterized b…

In this letter, it is proposed that the usage of Al(2)O(3) capping layer can tremendously improve the phase stability of SnO thin films, which allows the accurate determination of the optical constants of the SnO films without the perturbation arising from impurity phases. For the SnO films, the refraction index and e…

The interaction of rose Bengal (RB) and fluorescein (FL) with poly[diallyldimethylammonium] chloride (PDDA) was studied in layer-by-layer self-assembled thin films and in solution. The spectroscopic behavior is explained in terms of dye-dye, dye-polyelectrolyte, and in solution, dye-solvent interactions. A correlation…

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of fully fluorinated and semifluorinated ZnO sheets. We find the fully fluorinated ZnO sheet prefers a twist-chair conformation, which is a nonmagnetic semiconductor. While for the semifluorinated sheet, the F-cente…

We report for the first time that an ultra-thin hybrid metamaterial slab can reflect an incident plane wave in -1st diffraction order, giving rise to anomalous reflection in a "negative" way. The functionality is derived from the hybridized surface resonant states of the slab. The retro-directive reflection is demonst…
