Spherical mesopores: Mesoporous Pt rods containing cage-type mesopores were prepared with porous anodic alumina membranes (PAAMs). It is noteworthy that spherical mesopores are aligned in the rods due to physical confinement by the PAAM channels. Both the mesopore alignment and the morphological control are realized s…

A cost-effective method for fabricating antireflective subwavelength structures on silicon carbide is demonstrated. The nanopatterning is performed in a 2-step process: aluminum deposition and reactive ion etching. The effect, of the deposited aluminum film thickness and the reactive ion etching conditions, on the ave…

The phase diagram of $para$-H${}_{2}$ on both one-layer and bilayer graphene was calculated by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The zero-point energy of the carbon atoms in the substrate was taken into account. That inclusion had minor effects on the liquidlike or incommensurate branches of the phase diagram…

Black molybdenum oxide (BMO) is prepared by annealing transparent MoO3. While recent efforts on other black oxides show that their black colour contributes little towards visible light harvesting, the presented BMO shows much-enhanced photoresponse over the UV–vis–IR regions. By sandwiching the BMO with suitable charg…

Driven by conformational entropy, a shape memory polymer (SMP) is capable of memorizing typical programming information, such as level of induced strain, deformation sequence and temperature profile. Because strain rate is one of the variables during programming, it is desirable to know whether the strain rate effect…
