An attractive feature of the Galfenol alloy system is the ability to impart enough uniaxial anisotropy into the alloy such that no pre-load mechanism is required to attain saturation magnetostriction. Stress annealing is typically employed to generate this anisotropy. Recent published results indicate that magnetic fi…

Nanocrystalline cellulose solid films derived from spruce pulp exhibit iridescence when cast from chiral nematic aqueous phase suspensions of the nanocrystals. Iridescence is a color travel phenomenon that might have potential for overt encryption as an anti-counterfeiting measure. The iridescent phase also offers an…

One and two dimensional grating structures with submicron period have a huge number of applications in optics and photonics. Such structures are conventionally fabricated using interference or e-beam lithography. However, both technologies have significant drawbacks. Interference lithography is limited to rather simpl…

Low-frequency Raman-scattering spectra are presented for gold nanocrystals with diameters 3.5 and 13 nm. The frequencies of the Raman peaks but also their number are shown to vary with the nanocrystal size. These results are analyzed using both the continuous elastic medium approximation and an atomistic approach. We…

A pseudopotential method is utilized to study the critical stability of model anions formed by long-range quadrupolar molecular potentials. Results indicate that critical quadrupole moments of simple point-charge triads do not serve well as predictors of real quadrupole-bound anions of systems with negative moments.
