We suggest a scheme for obtaining negative refraction that does not require the simultaneous presence of an electric-dipole and a magnetic-dipole transition near the same transition frequency. The key idea of the scheme is to obtain a strong electric response by using far-off-resonant Raman transitions. We propose to…

Abstract In this study, a fatty acid‐based comonomer is employed as a styrene replacement for the production of triglyceride‐based thermosetting resins. Styrene is a hazardous pollutant and a volatile organic compound. Given their low volatility, fatty acid monomers, such as methacrylated lauric acid (MLA), are attrac…

The adsorption of alkali metals (AMs) on single layer graphene is studied using first principles methods. We observe a common trend in the binding distance, the charge transfer, and the work function $(W)$ at certain coverage of AMs with increase in the proportion $\ensuremath{\rho}$ (adatom/C atom) of the graphene co…

A new physical mechanism or mode of plastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals and ceramics is suggested and theoretically described. The mode represents the cooperative grain boundary (GB) sliding and stress-driven GB migration process. It is theoretically revealed that the new deformation mode is more energetical…

We theoretically investigate the time-dependent ballistic transport in metallic graphene nanoribbons of width $W$ after the sudden switching of a bias voltage. The potential drop is linear across a central part of length $L$ where the current is calculated. During the early transient time the current does not grow lin…
