We experimentally demonstrate a microwave far-field image reconstruction modality with the transverse resolution exceeding the diffraction limit by using a single layer of highly nonlinear metamaterial. The harmonic fields of the nonlinear metamaterial surface allow the far-field propagation of wave fronts with spatia…
A combination of first-principles calculations and atomistic simulations was used to study the energy barriers for reorientation of the Fe${}_{\mathrm{ }\mathrm{Ti}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-V${}_{\mathrm{O}}^{\ifmmode\bullet\else\textbullet\fi{}\ifmmode\bullet\else\textbullet\fi{}}$ defect complex in tetragonal ferroelectri…
Abstract A simple and rapid electrochemical method for the evaluation of crevice corrosion in duplex stainless steels (DSS) is described. Three types of DSS—namely, UNS S32101, UNS S31803, and UNS S32750—were tested in 1 mol/L sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. Results showed good reproducibility with a typical standar…
Abstract Black silicon is a fascinating multipurpose modification of bulk silicon which can be fabricated in a selforganized structure formation process during dry etching of bare silicon wafer leading to the formation of a high density of silicon needles. The smallest dimension of the tips approaches values between 1…
The family of two-dimensional magnetic materials M(II)PS(3) where M = Mn, Fe, Ni, Mg, Zn, etc shows a wide range of fascinating magnetic behaviour. It also shows potentially useful chemical properties including intercalation of nonlinear optical molecules and lithium ions. These properties are due to a crystal structu…
It has been shown in the literature that active adjustment of the intake area of a jet engine has potential to improve its fuel efficiency. This paper presents the design and control of a novel proof-of-concept active jet engine intake using Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti or Nitinol) shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. T…
We analyse lithium sputtering, evaporation and transport for the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) liquid lithium divertor (LLD) for planned high heating power plasma conditions. A temperature-dependent, data-calibrated, surface-response model is used to specify sputter yield, velocity distributions, sputtere…
The high energy of hydrogen vibrations in solids is the origin of their strong impact on thermodynamic properties. The peculiar structure of complex hydrides amplifies this impact. We shed light on the vibrational properties of three allotropes of Ca(${\mathrm{BH}}_{4}$)${}_{2}$ using density-functional theory calcula…
We construct the phase diagram of spherical particles interacted with harmonic repulsions, which are ultrasoft and bounded at fully overlapping. This simple potential form can be used for describing the thermodynamic properties and dynamic behavior of interpenetrable globular micelles, microgels, starlike polymer solu…
As a brittle and heterogeneous material, concrete behaves differently under different stress conditions and its bulk strength is loading rate dependent. To a large extent, the varying behavioural properties of concrete can be explained by the mechanical failure processes at a mesoscopic level. The development of a com…
By using variational Monte Carlo method, we examine an effective low-energy model for LaFeAsO derived from an ab initio downfolding scheme. We show that quantum and many-body fluctuations near a quantum critical point largely reduce the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered moment and the model not only quantitatively reprod…
Video microscopy is employed to study the melting behaviors of multilayer colloidal crystals composed of diameter-tunable microgel spheres confined between two walls. We systematically explore film thickness effects on the melting process and on the phase behaviors of single crystal and polycrystalline films. Thick fi…
Formamide harmonic and anharmonic frequencies of fundamental vibrations in the gas phase and in several solvents were successfully estimated in the B3LYP Kohn-Sham complete basis set limit (KS CBS). CBS results were obtained by extrapolating a power function (two-parameter formula) to the results calculated with polar…
Abstract Thirty‐three polystyrene (PS)/acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) and high impact PS/ABS polymer blends with organoclay and copolymer additives were prepared by melt processing using different mixing sequences in order to test the putative capability of clay to perform a compatibilizing role in polymer blen…
Recently, the use of nanoparticles in Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) has been considered by researchers. In this study, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were compounded with PVC, wood-flour, and foaming agent in an internal mixer. The wood flour amount was constant at 40 phr. For CNT and chemical foaming agent ,…
Scaffold microstructure is hypothesized to influence physical and mechanical properties of collagen gels, as well as cell function within the matrix. Plastic compression under increasing load was conducted to produce scaffolds with increasing collagen fibrillar densities ranging from 0.3 to above 4.1 wt % with corresp…
Abstract We demonstrate a broadband metamaterial based on nano‐slot antenna on a VO 2 thin film, which transforms itself from transparent to completely extinct over a broad spectrum when the underlying VO 2 thin film makes Mott‐insulator‐to‐metal phase transition. Our structure, long wavelength nano resonators inspire…
Molecular dynamics computer simulations of various symmetrical Lennard-Jones (LJ) models are used to elucidate how the excess volume in dense binary liquids is related to the microscopic interactions between the particles. Both fully miscible systems and systems with a liquid-liquid phase separation are considered by…
We present first-principles calculations of the phase diagram of small clusters composed of Na, Al, and H and determine their decomposition pathways as functions of Na:Al ratio and cluster size up to eight formula units. We consider ionic clusters of AlH 3, NaH, and NaAlH 4 and include as decomposition products metall…
In the present work, CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized with a trioctylphosphine surface passivation layer were modified using amphiphilic molecules to form a surface bilayer capable of providing stable NCs aqueous solutions. Such modified nanocrystals were used as a test solute in order to analyze new electrophoreti…
