We design a dual-band nonlinear composite right-left handed transmission line with phase-matching achieved between the fundamental frequency and second harmonic when both interacting waves have zero phase velocity. Additionally, we show that such a transmission line supports a new regime where the generation of backwa…

Single-mode, strip-loaded silicon-rich silicon nitride (SRSN) waveguide with 11 at.% excess Si and 1.7×10(20) cm(-3) Er was fabricated and characterized. By using a 350 nm thick SRSN:Er core layer and a 850 nm wide SiO2 strip, a high core-mode overlap of 0.85 and low transmission loss of 2.9 dB/cm is achieved. Populat…

Abstract— By introducing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles along with a controlled amount of UV‐curable reactive mesogen (RM) into a liquid‐crystalline (LC) medium, a multi‐domain vertical‐alignment LC device was successfully demonstrated. The device, possessing a vertically aligned LC director…

We use polymer self-consistent field theory to quantify the interfacial properties of random copolymer brushes (AB) in contact with a homopolymer melt chemically identical to one of the blocks (A). We calculate the interfacial widths and interfacial energies between the melt and the brush as a function of the relative…

Noncovalently bonded crystalline inclusion compounds (ICs) have been formed by threading host cyclic starches, cyclodextrins (CDs), onto guest nylon-6 (N-6) chains. N-6 was coalesced from N-6-α-CD-IC crystals by appropriate removal of the host α-CD. When added at low concentrations, the coalesced N-6 serves as an effe…

We present here an experimental, strictly one-dimensional rotational system, made by using single magnetic Janus particles in a static magnetic field. These particles were half-coated with a thin metallic film, and by turning on a properly oriented external static magnetic field, we monitor the rotational brownian mot…

Diameter ($D$) dependence of fracture strength in [0001]-oriented single-crystalline ZnO nanowires (NWs) with $D$ ranging from 18 to 114 nm is experimentally revealed via in situ uniaxial tension. The lower bound of the scattered strengths increases with decreasing $D$, following a modified power law, and critical def…

Blue-emitting LaSi 3 N 5 :Ce 3+ phosphors, with an orthorhombic structure and a P 2 1 2 1 2 1 symmetry, could be used for UV chip-based white light emitting diodes (WLED). However, the application of these phosphors to WLEDs has been restricted because of an unsatisfactory excitation efficiency in the wavelength range…

Motivated by the debate of the spin-density-wave (SDW) versus local-moment (LM) picture in the iron-based superconducting (FeSC) materials, we consider a two-band orbital-symmetric Hubbard model in which there is robust Fermi surface nesting at $(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$. We obtain the phase diagram of such system by a me…
