We review both the theoretical electromagnetic response and the spectroscopic measurements of metamaterials. To critically examine published results for metamaterial structures operating in the range from terahertz to optical frequencies, we focus on protocols allowing one to extract the optical constants from experim…

In this article we present an enthalpy-based simulation for the evolution of equiaxial dendrites, growing in an undercooled melt of a pure substance. The enthalpy formulation, which is used extensively for macroscale modeling of solidification, is modified appropriately by combining relevant macroscale and microscale…

A mechanism is proposed for ammonia transport across a cellulose acetate membrane. The transport is shown to have a sorption character, with the formation of hydrogen bonds between ammonia molecules and the polymer. Our experiments demonstrate that the membrane can be regenerated in the course of gas separation. The i…

Methods for the manufacture of rugate filters by the ion-beam-sputtering process are presented. The first approach gives an example of a digitized version of a continuous-layer notch filter. This method allows the comparison of the basic theory of interference coatings containing thin layers with practical results. Fo…
