We propose a novel design for a guided-mode resonance (GMR) grating sensor that extends the sensitivity to a large region of space, possibly several tens of microns away from the grating surface. This type of sensors has high sensitivity in the half-space above the grating, close to the theoretical limit, together wit…

Pore boundary tessellation and quantitative stereology were used to characterize microstructure evolution in ZrO 2 –3 mol%Y 2 O 3 (3YSZ) that had been pressed to a green density of 46% and isothermally sintered at 1275°C for 0.1–10 h. Scanning electron micrographs showed that, relative to classical sintering models, t…

LaBO 3 bundle‐like nanorods are self‐assembled through a novel oxide‐hydrothermal method. In this route, the stoichiometric amounts of La 2 O 3 and boric oxide B 2 O 3 are mixed in proper amounts of water in a surfactant/ligand‐free sealed hydrothermal system. The nanobundles are de‐agglomerated to nanorods by tiny Sm…

Abstract In this paper we make a detailed comparison of the thermoelectric properties of quantum dot superlattices with those of equivalently doped bulk material and show that a major contribution to the enhancement of the figure of merit comes from the increase of the thermoelectric power over that of bulk, in additi…

In this work, the film thickness (l0) effect on the phase and dewetting behaviors of the blend film of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-ran-acrylonitrile) (PMMA/SAN) has been studied by in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The thinner film shows the more compatibility…

Single‐crystal α‐alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) hexagonal platelets with a diameter of about 200 nm and 25 nm in thickness were synthesized by heating a mixture of boehmite and potassium sulfate at 1000°C for 2 h and washing with water. The potassium sulfate addition effects on the Al 2 O 3 phase and morphology were investigated…

High‐purity aluminum foil was used to join alumina substrates directly in air at temperatures ranging from 800° to 1200°C and soak times of 1–100 h. It was found that the bend strengths of the resulting Al 2 O 3 /Al/Al 2 O 3 joints generally increase with increasing brazing temperature and time, with a maximum bend st…

Abstract Raman scattering from double‐walled carbon nanotubes is reported with particular emphasis on the response from the radial breathing mode (RBM) of the inner‐shell tubes. The unexpected large number of very narrow lines observed is explained by the growth of one and the same inner tube type in different outer t…
