We investigate electromagnetic (EM) scattering and plasmonic cloaking in a system composed of a dielectric cylinder coated with a magneto-optical shell. In the long-wavelength limit we demonstrate that the application of an external magnetic field can not only switch on and off the cloaking mechanism but also mitigate…

This study investigated the use of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) matrix in controlled release packaging. Mangiferin, having high antioxidant activity, was incorporated into the EVA matrix with different vinyl acetate (VA) contents. Mangiferin release rate increased with increasing VA content (or decreasing crystallinit…

Amyloid fibrils are formed by a model surfactant-like peptide (Ala)10-(His)6 containing a hexa-histidine tag. This peptide undergoes a remarkable two-step self-assembly process with two distinct critical aggregation concentrations (cac's), probed by fluorescence techniques. A micromolar range cac is ascribed to the fo…

High-pressure powder X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements in cubic bixbyite-type indium oxide (c-In 2 O 3 ) have been performed at room temperature. On increasing pressure c-In 2 O 3 undergoes a transition to the Rh 2 O 3 –II structure but on decreasing pressure Rh 2 O 3 –II-type In 2 O 3 undergoes a tr…
