The transmission resonance characteristics of a gold double-layered compound grating (DCG) are investigated numerically using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method. The DCG is assumed to comprise two identical single-layered gratings separated by an air gap with a thickness of 0 ~ 250 mm. Furthermore, each…

The atmospheric corrosion kinetics of AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel in tropical marine environments is observed by weight loss. The corrosion products are identified by laser Raman spectroscopy, and surface morphology is observed by SEM. The results show that the corrosion rates tend to decrease as the exposur…

In the present paper, we ascertain two novel findings on chiral-index-selective binding/separating of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a nonaromatic polymer, poly(dialkylsilane) (PSi). PSi is a typical σ-conjugated polymer, composed of alkyl side chains attached to the silicon (Si)-catenated main chain. Fir…

This paper consists of an investigation of the protective properties of a new polyurethane coating (supramolecular polymers) based on hydrogen bonding. It means that the covalent bonds are partially substituted with hydrogen bonds, which are able to induce self-healing properties in the coating after thermal treatment…

The phosphor CaTiO3:Pr3+ was synthesized via a solid-state reaction in combination with a subsequent annealing under flowing NH3. Comparatively large off-center displacements of Ti in the TiO6 octahedra were confirmed for as-synthesized CaTiO3:Pr3 by XANES. Raman spectroscopy showed that the local crystal structure be…
