We present numerical modelling of a dual-band double-negative chirped metamaterial (MM) in the optical region. The MM has an elliptical nanohole array (ENA) penetrating through a metal/dielectric material/metal (Au-Al2O3-Au) film. We consider the case when the chirp is introduced by displacing the positions of the ENA…

A synthetic strategy toward the intriguing hydrocarbon nanorod polytwistane is outlined. Our approach aims toward the polymerization of acetylene starting from precursors that would provide a helical bias for the formation of polytwistane. Both transition-metal-catalyzed and radical polymerizations were investigated.…

The corrosion behavior of magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloy AM50 produced by a rheocasting (RC) technique was examined in the presence and absence of CO 2 at three temperatures −4, 4 and 22°C. The slurry preparation in the RC material was performed with the newly developed RheoMetal process. For reference, 99.97% Mg wa…

B4C and graphite(C) mixed powders were clad by laser at the surface of Ti–6Al–4V alloy in N2 environment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyze the composite coatings. It was found that TiC, TiB, TiN, and TiB2 which were compris…

Gasochromic VO2 thin films were fabricated by the sol-gel spin-coating technique. The results of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy reveal that the origin of gasochromic coloration in VO2 is strongly related to the modulation of its structure and the electron-electron co…
