Semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes are classified into two types by means of the orbital angular momentum of the valley state, which is useful to study their low-energy electronic properties in finite length. The classification is given by an integer $d$, which is the greatest common divisor of two integers $…

We present an efficient method to discriminate orbital angular momentum (OAM) of the terahertz (THz) vortex beam using a diffractive mode transformer. The mode transformer performs a log-polar coordinate transformation of the input THz vortex beam, which consists of two 3D-printed diffractive elements. A following len…

Abstract Sulfobetaines belong to the group of zwitterionic surfactants. They are electroneutral salts, which have in the same molecule, two ionic centers with different charge. Due to the specific structure they exhibit excellent properties such as good solubility in water and detergency. In this paper we present surf…
