We report the layer-number dependence of the averaged interlayer thermal resistances (${R}_{\mathrm{int}}$) of the suspended and supported few-layer graphene (FLG), simulated by equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD). The existence of a silicon dioxide substrate significantly decreases the ${R}_{\mathrm{int}}$ of FLG at…

A light-activated optical phase switch was developed, exploiting the conversion between left-handed and right-handed twisted nematic liquid crystals. Theoretical and experimental analyses revealed that the handedness inversion of the twisted nematic film altered the optical phase of the output waves by π. Herein, the…

The existence of a facile surface pathway for generation of O interstitials (Oi) in rutile that can facilitate annihilation of O undesirable vacancies has been demonstrated recently. Through isotopic self-diffusion experiments, the present work determines a value of approximately 1.8 eV for the activation energy of Oi…

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is the most popular material for applications in solar‐energy conversion and photocatalysis, both of which rely on the creation, transport, and trapping of charges (holes and electrons). The nature and lifetime of electron traps at room temperature have so far not been elucidated. He…

This paper presents a circuit-level model of a dual-gate bilayer and four layer graphene field effect transistor (GFET). The model provides an accurate estimation of the conductance at the charge neutrality point (CNP). At the CNP the device has its maximum resistance, at which the model is validated against experimen…

A series of Ce 3+ ‐ and Mn 2+ ‐(co‐)activated SrAl 2 Si 2 O 8 phosphors have been prepared at 1350°C under a reducing atmosphere and their photoluminescence properties have been studied as a function of the (co‐)dopant ions concentrations. We have discovered that energy transfer (ET) not only from Ce 3+ to Mn 2+ but a…

The maldistribution of urea/NH 3 at the selective catalytic reduction inlet and the resulting NH 3 /NO x ratio variation have been reported to have negative effects on the NO x conversion efficiency and NH 3 slip in heavy-duty diesel applications. Maldistribution is caused by incomplete mixing and decomposition of the…

We demonstrate top-gate graphene field effect transistors (FETs) on an aluminum nitrite (AlN) substrate with high surface phonon energy. Electrical transport measurements reveal significant improvement of the carrier mobility of graphene FETs on AlN compared to those on SiO2. This is attributed to the suppression of s…

We explore the structure of a textile absorber in terms of its electromagnetic and absorption properties in the microwave region. Its absorption characteristics are similar to those reported for various metamaterial-based absorbers, exhibiting absorption as high as 98% at resonance. In addition, the angular behavior o…
