Opposite directionality of the Poynting vector and the wave vector, an inherent property of negative index metamaterials (NIMs), was predicted to enable backward phase-matching condition for a second harmonic generation (SHG) process. As a result, such a nonlinear negative index slab acts as a nonlinear mirror. In thi…

A melt-drawing technique was applied to crystalline silicone, poly(tetramethyl-p-silphenylenesiloxane) (PTMPS) containing a rigid phenylene ring in the main chain. The resultant melt-drawn membrane had double-melting endotherms located at the usual 130 °C and the higher temperature of 160 °C. The higher melting temper…

Diamond films have been considered as good candidate protective coatings on varieties of substrates in order to improve their erosive wear performance. In the present study, boron-doped diamond films with thicknesses of about 6–7 µm are first deposited on five different substrates using the hot filament chemical vapor…

Abstract We study the classical Landau–Levich dip-coating problem for the case in which the interface possesses both elasticity and surface tension. The aim of the study is to develop a complete asymptotic theory of the elastocapillary Landau–Levich problem in the limit of small flow speeds. As such, the paper also ex…

We propose a conceptual design for a logic device that is the thermal analog of a transistor. It has fixed hot (emitter) and cold (collector) temperatures, and a gate controls the heat current. Thermal logic could be applied for thermal digital computing, enhance energy conservation, facilitate thermal rheostats, and…

Analysis of the electromagnetic (EM) properties of power station steels, measured using a non-contact magnetic sensor, is of significance as such properties are indicative of the microstructure of the material and can be potentially exploited for non-destructive testing. In this paper, we present EM measurements of cy…

The structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin CoO films supported on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) surface are investigated on the basis of density functional theory calculations. By examining both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric submonolayer structures at an atomic level we establish that the preferred surface arrange…

Spin line groups describe the symmetries of spin arrangements in quasi-one-dimensional systems. These groups are derived for the first family of line groups. Among them, magnetic groups are singled out as a special case. Spin arrangements generated by the derived groups are first discussed for single-orbit systems and…

Nanowire-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide is an extremely simple structure that can be naturally formed by directly dropping a dielectric cylinder onto a metallic substrate. However, despite the substantial emphasis devoted to its hybrid plasmonic counterparts, this waveguiding structure has been paid little…

The magnetization reversal in several nanoscopic systems is driven by the nucleation and propagation of a vortex structure that is very sensitive to the application of a magnetic field or a spin polarized current. In particular in a dot, the vortex profile is strongly affected by anisotropy, however, its role on the c…
