A waveguide mode of a subwavelength rectangular hole in a real metal is analyzed. Due to coupling between surface plasmons on the long edges of the hole, the cut-off wavelength increases as the hole-width is reduced. The cut-off wavelength is found to be much larger than Rayleigh's criterion for perfect metals - 2.3 t…
Core–shell and multishell bimetallic AuAg nanoparticles have been synthesized by successive reduction of metal salts with ascorbic acid on pre-made seeds in the presence of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The coverage of the seeds is extremely uniform, although in some cases deviations fr…
A rectangular waveguide filled with anisotropic uniaxial metamaterial with transversal negative effective permeability is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that such a waveguide supports propagation of the backward wave below the cutoff frequency, thus, it can be considered as a dual of t…
The anodic formation of self-organized porous on titanium was investigated in 1 M electrolytes containing 0.5 wt % by potential sweeps to . By a combination of electrochemical, morphological, and compositional information we show that the sweep rate has a significant influence on the initiation and growth of the porou…
This article highlights some of the recent developments in the use of responsive cyclen based lanthanide luminescent devices, focusing on Eu(III), Tb(III), Nd(III) and Yb(III) complexes, where the photophysical properties, such as the excited state lifetimes, quantum yield/intensity and emission polarisation are modul…
Young’s modulus and tensile strength were investigated in relation to phase transformation and microstructural changes occurring during cold rolling and subsequent heat treatment using β (Ti–35 mass%Nb)–4 mass%Sn and (Ti–35 mass%Nb)–7.9 mass%Sn alloys. Stress-induced α″ martensite is generated on cold rolling of (Ti–3…
Water-soluble luminescent CdSe quantum dots surface-modified with 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate were synthesized for the selective determination of free cyanide in aqueous solution with high sensitivity (detection limit of 1.1 x 10(-6) M), via analyte-induced changes in their photoluminescence after photoactivation.
Phthalocyanines (Pcs) offer a high architectural flexibility in structure, which facilitates the tailoring of their physical, optoelectronic and chemical parameters over a very broad range. This tutorial review describes the recent advances in the synthesis of soluble axially substituted or bridged gallium phthalo- an…
The aim of this study was to prepare non-woven materials from a biodegradable polymer, poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) by electrospinning. PCL was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone in bulk using stannous octoate as the catalyst under nitrogen atmosphere. PCL was then processed into no…
We poorly understand the properties of amorphous systems at small length scales, where a continuous elastic description breaks down. This is apparent when one considers their vibrational and transport properties, or the way forces propagate in these solids. Little is known about the microscopic cause of their rigidity…
This review discussed the design and different synthetic routes that lead to hybrid thin films that have a periodically organised porosity. The mechanism of formation, the role of the organic functionality and the resulting mesophase, the comparison between one-pot and post-synthesis approaches and the applications do…
Polyoxometalates (PMs) as discrete metal-oxide cluster anions comprise a versatile class of inorganic, anionic clusters that have a wide variety of structures, sizes, and a combination of metals, high solubility in water, and electrochemical activity. Recent investigation of anti-tumor, -viral, and -bacterial activiti…
Well-dispersed and long-term stable carbon nanotubes/polyol dispersions were prepared by a mechanochemical approach with the aid of dispersing agent. Polyurethane (PU)-carbon nanotube nanocomposites were prepared by further polymerization. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) can be dispersed individually. Fourier tra…
Future improvements in the development of highly volume‐efficient multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) require manufacturing processes that allow for a reduced dielectric thickness well below 1 μm. Obviously, such thin dielectric layers can only be produced if nanosized dielectric powders are applied and deposited by…
A hyperbranched aliphatic polyether with hydroxyl end groups was produced from glycerol carbonate (4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one)—the benign monomer obtained from renewable starting materials: glycerol and dimethyl carbonate. Anionic polymerization of glycerol carbonate, which proceeds with simultaneous decarboxy…
We report a novel strategy for using gold nanoparticles capped with chitosan for sensing ions of heavy metals. Acidic anions (glutamate ions in our case) are expected to cap the nanoparticle surfaces similar to conventional methods of stabilization of gold nanoparticles by citrate ions. The polycationic nature of chit…
We numerically demonstrate a metamaterial with both negative epsilon and negative mu over an overlapping near-infrared wavelength range resulting in a low loss negative-index material. Parametric studies optimizing this negative index are presented. This structure can be easily fabricated with standard semiconductor p…
Driven by the scientific challenges involved in the creation of nanostructures providing access to new materials with unusual properties, the study of hybrid materials based on Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) has developed considerably during the last decade. This feature article is intended to give a broad overview…
High-resolution 13C NMR studies of cellulose and cellulose oligomers dissolved in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) show that the beta-(1-->4)-linked glucose oligomers are disordered in this medium and have a conformational behavior which parallels the one observed in water, and th…
The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties of 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexaphenylsilole (HPS) and poly{11-[(1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilolyl)oxy]-1-phenyl-1-undecyne} (PS9PA) were studied by time-resolved fluorescence technique. The enhanced fluorescence and long fluorescent lifetime were obtained for the sample in an aggregate…
