The subloading surface model is based on the simple and natural postulate that the plastic strain rate develops as the stress approaches the yield surface. It therefore always describes the continuous variation of the tangent modulus. It requires no incorporation of an algorithm for the judgment of yielding, i.e., a j…

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 2-methyl-N-confused porphyrin with 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile oxide yielded four isomeric monoadducts of carbachlorin type and one diadduct of carbabacteriochlorin type. Two major carbachlorin products, constituting 82% of the monoadducts, were shown to be structural precursors…

We report on coherent manipulation of electron spins in an antiferromagnetically coupled spin triangle ${{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}X}$ ($X=\mathrm{As}$, Sb) impregnated in freestanding nanoporous silicon (NS) by using 240 GHz microwave pulses. Rabi oscillations are observed and the spin coherence…

It is demonstrated that the presence of the metal on the walls of dielectric grating slits opens new possibilities for tailoring optical properties of metal–dielectric plasmonic gratings. In particular, a new kind of metal-thickness-sensitive resonances appear due to the excitation of the Fabry–Perot plasmonic modes i…
