We report on AlGaN grating reflectors for short-wavelength applications, an alternative to conventional distributed Bragg reflectors that are difficult to make in a GaN-based system. An array of air-bridge AlGaN grating reflectors, with a period and filling factor of 430 nm and 0.55, was fabricated through holographic…

Abstract An improvement to a previously published suspension polymerization process for the production of spherical core/shell PVAc/PVA particles is described. To increase the settling time of the beads in the suspension, an expansion stage was introduced. The core/shell structure was obtained through the partial hydr…

We discuss the measurable structure factor S(M)(q) of highly concentrated nanoemulsions in a glassy amorphous state. Neutron scattering data show that the primary structure factor peak decreases with increasing concentration and eventually drops below unity. We find very good quantitative agreement between the experim…

We fabricated point emitters using a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) yarn which was treated by ethylene glycol. The point emitter showed a very high emission current of 3.01 mA (current density of 1.1 x 10(8) A cm(-2)) and good emission stability of over 20 h. We attributed the excellent field emission properties…

Silver nanoparticles of small average diameter (<5 nm) and rather narrow size distribution rapidly formed on the surfaces of carbon nanotubes in a simple mechanochemical process in which silver acetate was ball-milled with the nanotubes for only a few minutes. The outcome was achieved in the absence of any solvent, an…

A methodology for synthesizing different sized gold nanorods and ordering them into a two-dimensional array at a water/hexane interface without a linker-molecule is reported. The resulting nanorod film was transferred to a solid substrate repeatedly, allowing for systematic control of the nanorod film thickness. An in…

Phosphole oxides exert the ability to detect explosives, especially nitroaromatic explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), by fluorescence quenching. In the image sensing of explosives sprayed with phosphole oxide, fluorescence quenching permits the visual determination of the lower detection limits of the nitr…

Atomistic simulations were performed to investigate the pseudoelastic effects induced by martensitic phase transformation from body-centered cubic (B2) to body-centered tetragonal (BCT) lattice in Cu–Zr nanowires. The phase transformation occurs through nucleation and propagation of {100} twin boundary, which differs…
