As alternatives to the mixed-anion Cu${}_{2}$ZnSn(S,Se)${}_{4}$ alloys, the mixed-cation Cu${}_{2}$Zn(Sn,Ge)Se${}_{4}$ and Cu${}_{2}$Zn(Sn,Si)Se${}_{4}$ alloys can also span a band gap range that fits the requirement of the solar cell light absorber. However, material properties of these alloys as functions of alloy c…

Cuprate high-Tc superconductors exhibit enigmatic behavior in the nonsuperconducting state. For carrier concentrations near "optimal doping" (with respect to the highest Tcs) the transport and spectroscopic properties are unlike those of a Landau-Fermi liquid. On the Mott-insulating side of the optimal carrier concent…

In this paper, we examine graphene as a material for reconfigurable terahertz (THz) optoelectronics. The ability of electrically tuning its optical properties in a wide range of THz frequencies, together with its 2-D nature and facile integration, leads to unique opportunities for inventing novel THz devices as well a…

Crystals of MIL-88B-Fe and NH2-MIL-88B-Fe were prepared by a new rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal method. High-purity, spindle-shaped crystals of MIL-88B-Fe with a length of about 2 μm and a diameter of 1 μm and needle-shaped crystals of NH2-MIL-88B-Fe with a length of about 1.5 μm and a diameter of 300 nm were p…

Significant augmentation of second harmonic generation using Fano resonances in plasmonic heptamers made of silver is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. The geometry is engineered to simultaneously produce a Fano resonance at the fundamental wavelength, resulting in a strong localization of the fundamental…

Dense granular materials display a complicated set of flow properties, which differentiate them from ordinary fluids. Despite their ubiquity, no model has been developed that captures or predicts the complexities of granular flow, posing an obstacle in industrial and geophysical applications. Here we propose a 3D cons…

We propose a reliable vertical configuration of a deformed-helix ferroelectric liquid crystal (DHFLC) mode in a transverse electrode structure by introducing reactive mesogens (RMs) into the DHFLC material. Polymerized RMs remember the direction of the DHFLC molecules in the absence of an applied voltage and suppress…
