Higher resolution demands for semiconductor lithography may be fulfilled by higher numerical aperture (NA) systems. However, NAs more than the photoresist refractive index (~1.7) cause surface confinement of the image. In this paper we describe how evanescent wave coupling to effective gain medium surface states benea…

Targeted delivery carriers: Magnetic protein microcapsules (MPMCs) as drug carriers for targeted delivery were fabricated by a facile and fast sonochemical method. MPMCs possessed excellent magnetic responsivity and could be readily moved and collected in an external magnetic field due to embedding of Fe3O4 MNPs in th…

Abstract By studying the dynamics of the streamwise pressure gradient at the wavefront of travelling interfacial waves, we investigate the formation and evolution of backflow regions for the sinusoidal and teardrop-shaped surface wave regimes of laminar falling liquid films. The magnitude of the wavefront streamwise p…

ABSTRACT Multiwalled carbon nanotube‐enriched epoxy polymers were prepared by solvent evaporation based on a commercially available epoxy system and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH–MWCNTs). Three weight ratio configurations (0.05, 0.5, and 1.0 wt %) of COOH–MWCNTs were considered and compared with ne…

A series of complex HfO 2 /Al 2 O 3 layer by layer resistive random access memory(RRAM) structure grown by atomic layer deposition are investigated. The modulation of forming voltage can be achieved by controlling the number of Al 2 O 3 layers in HfO 2 devices. In addition, the crystallization temperature of HfO 2 bas…

Abstract Inherent chemical hazards in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes can be mitigated significantly by careful selection of precursor materials. This work describes the effect of silane (SiH4) exposure on tungsten ALD growth when the silane is heavily diluted (2 at.‐%) in argon. A wide ALD temperature window…

The mechanism of corrosion-induced concrete cover cracking has received greater attention in recent years. Most studies involve accelerated electrochemical techniques to measure the corrosion required to induce concrete cracking. Concrete cylinders with different water/cement ratios exposed to a natural tropical marin…

Spin-flip Raman scattering of electrons and heavy holes is studied for resonant excitation of neutral and charged excitons in a CdTe/Cd${}_{0.63}$Mg${}_{0.37}$Te quantum well. The spin-flip scattering is characterized by its dependence on the incident and scattered light polarization as well as on the magnetic field s…

We have successfully implemented green and red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) grown by controlling the process of the growth interruption method using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). It is found that the three-step growth interruption method and the underlying InGaN/GaN s…

Graphite fluorides with different structural types (C y F) n ( y = 2.5, 2, and 1) and room temperature graphite fluorides were studied by solid state NMR and NEXAFS. Data extracted from those two techniques are complementary, providing information about the C–F bonding and the hybridization character of the carbon ato…

We study thin strips of three-dimensional topological insulators in the presence of a spin-splitting Zeeman field. We show that under certain conditions the topological edge states at the sides of a strip remain robust against a time-reversal symmetry breaking Zeeman field. For a particle-hole symmetric system with Ze…
