Spatial diffusion reflection (DR) measurements of gold nanorods (GNR) were recently suggested as a simple and highly sensitive non-invasive and non-ionizing method for real-time cancer detection. In this paper we demonstrate that wavelength dependent DR measurements enable the spectral red-shift observation of highly…

Type-I clathrate phase Ba(8)Ni(x)□(y)Si(46-x-y) (□ = vacancy) was obtained from the elements at 1000 °C with the homogeneity range 2.4 ≤ x ≤ 3.8 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.9. In addition, samples with low Ni content (x = 1.4 and 1.6; y = 0) and small Ba deficiency were prepared from the melt by steel-quenching. Compositions were e…

The interpretation of the effect of plastic deformation on the calculated excess loss component (anomalous-loss) supports the concept of loss separation. Magnetic losses and Barkhausen noise of nonoriented electrical steel sheets were measured on Epstein strips taken from a single coil of 0.8%Si nonoriented electrical…

We show that a plasmonic metamaterial can act as a far-field to near-field transformer that focuses a free-space beam of light into a subwavelength energy hot spot at a prescribed location with a spot size only a small fraction of the wavelength. The hot spot position on the metamaterial can be prescribed and moved at…

The accurate measurement and calculation of transformer no-load losses is of high importance to transformer users and manufacturers alike. There are various ways of calculating no-load losses of transformers based on empirical formulas and experimentally obtained coefficients but these tend to mostly apply to known an…

Arrays of silver nanorods (AgNRs) formed by oblique-angle deposition (OAD) are strongly anisotropic, with either metallic or dielectric characteristics depending on the polarization of incident light, and may be used to enhance Raman scattering and surface plasmon polaritons. This work investigates the polarization-de…

The crystalline/crystalline poly( l -lactic acid)/poly(1,4-butylene adipate) (PLLA/PBA) blend system exhibits upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior below the melting temperature of PLLA. When the PLLA/PBA (50/50) blend is cooled to crystallize below UCST, phase-separated domains appear prior to crystalli…

We design a dual-view liquid crystal display (DVLCD) which display two different images in the left and right viewing directions simultaneously. The main-pixel of the DVLCD comprises the right sub-pixels (RSPs) and the left sub-pixels (LSPs). The LCs in the RSPs and the LSPs have the opposite rotation directions, whic…

We develop a numerical technique for simulating metamaterial electromagnetic response based on an adaptation of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). Our approach reduces each constituent metamaterial element within the composite to a point dipole with electric and magnetic polarizabilities, rather than assuming a…

The origin of the Ti 3d defect state seen in the band gap for reduced rutile TiO(2)(110) surfaces has been excitingly debated. The probable candidates are bridging O vacancies (V(O)) and Ti interstitials (Ti-int) condensed near the surfaces. The aim of this study is to give insights into the source of the gap state vi…
