We have measured the sub-THz electrical response of screen printed carbon nanotube-poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer composites up to 220 GHz. The measured electrical losses using mm long coplanar waveguide geometries averaged as low as 0.15 dB/mm in the frequency range 40 GHz–110 GHz and showed a reduction in signal…

Abstract Multiarm star copolymers consisting of the polyether‐polyol hyperbranched poly(ethylene glycol) ( hb PEG) as core and poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) arms are synthesized via the organobase‐ catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization of lactide using hb PEG as a multifunctional macroinitiator. Star copolymers with high m…

The phase behavior of grafted d-polystyrene- block -poly(methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer films is examined, with particular focus on the effect of solvent and annealing time. It was observed that the films undergo a two-step transformation from an initially disordered state, through an ordered metastable state,…

Pounding between adjacent components and structures has become an important cause of structural damage or even collapse under large excitations such as earthquakes and ship collisions. Shock absorber devices (SAD) are often used to connect the separation gap to reduce the pounding force. However, some shock absorber d…

The shape that a liquid drop will assume when resting statically on a solid surface inclined to the horizontal is studied here in two dimensions. Earlier experimental and numerical studies yield multiple solutions primarily because of inherent differences in surface characteristics. On a solid surface capable of susta…

The hydrogen release and uptake kinetics of sodium alanate, NaAlH 4, are greatly improved after doping with small amounts of transition metals, such as Ti. However, after 15 years of active research, an atomic-level understanding of the effect of Ti on the reaction rate is still lacking. One theory suggests that Ti at…

We propose a physical concept of non-reciprocal transformation optics, by which a one-way invisible cloak is designed. The one-way invisible cloak is made of a coordinate-transformed nonreciprocal photonic crystal, showing a perfect cloaking for wave incident from one direction but acting as a perfect reflector for wa…

Selective reduction of 2-nitro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde provides 2-amino-3-methoxybenzaldehyde that undergoes the Friedländer condensation with a variety of acetyl-substituted derivatives of pyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. After cleavage of the methyl ether, the resulting polydentate analogues of 8-hydroxyquinoline are…

TiO2/CdS core-shell nanowires were synthesized using a simple thermal oxidation treatment of a Ti film, followed by O2 plasma treatment and CdS coating via low-cost chemical bath deposition. The 5 and 20 nm thick CdS films were uniformly coated onto TiO2 nanowires using 200 and 40 ml aqueous solvent, respectively. Tim…

1, 3, and 5 wt.% silver-doped ZnO (SZO) nanowires (NWs) are grown by hot-walled pulsed laser deposition. After silver-doping process, SZO NWs show some change behaviors, including structural, electrical, and optical properties. In case of structural property, the primary growth plane of SZO NWs is switched from (002)…

We investigate the spin dynamics of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center contained in an individual diamond nanocrystal in the presence of continuous microwave excitation. Upon periodic reversal of the microwave phase, we observe a train of ``Solomon echoes'' that effectively extends the system coherence lifetime to reach s…

We demonstrate that homogeneous single-layer graphene can be grown by simply annealing crystalline Cu(111)/c-plane sapphire (α-Al2O3) at 900 and 1000 °C without additional carbon supply. The resulting graphene film shows a high carrier mobility of 1210 cm2 V−1 s−1. However, the annealing at a lower temperature of 800…
