We propose a design method for dense surface-relief diffraction gratings with high efficiency in transmission mode. Closed-form analytical relations between diffraction efficiency, polarization, and grating parameters are derived and verified in the resonance domain of diffraction under general three-dimensional angle…

In the scope of application of technical textiles, Non-Crimp Fabrics are increasingly used. In general, NCF exhibit excellent load bearing properties, but caused by the manufacturing process, there are some remaining disadvantages which have to be reduced. Regarding to this, a novel technique of processing NCF was dev…

In a recent Letter, Yu and Thompson1 report the morphology evolution during growth interruptions of polycrystalline films grown by a Volmer-Weber mode and correlate it with the release of the postcoalescence stress. In particular, the study is focused on Ni films grown by evaporation with a flux of 5 Å/s under high mo…

We have investigated the variation of electron velocity in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures depending on illuminating light intensity and wavelength. It is shown that the electron velocity at high electric field increases under above-band light illumination. This electron velocity enhancement is found to be related to the p…

Shape memory alloys belong to a group of smart, functional materials with a unique ability to "remember" the shape that they had before the pseudo-elastic deformation. Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys are today the only available high-temperature SMA, showing good resistance to functional load, however their biomedical ap…
