In this work, the previously reported near-field imaging by two strongly coupled arrays of planar magnetic resonators is further studied. Experiments are performed to clarify the physical mechanisms underlying such an effect. The specific aim of these experiments is to clarify both the role played by magnetoinductive…

An optically isotropic, polar smectic C phase composed of chiral and achiral domains, which shows antiferroelectric switching, is demonstrated to be exhibited by the third-generation liquid-crystalline dendrimer with peripheral bent-core (BC) mesogenic units (see figure) reported here. This investigation contributes t…

The effects of V doping on field-cooled magnetization MFC(T), zero-field-cooled magnetization MZFC(T), resistivity ρ, thermoelectric power S, and thermal conductivity κ in manganites CaMn1−xVxO3 (0.02⩽x⩽0.08) have been investigated systematically. As the V doping level exceeds 0.02, an anomalous “diamagnetism” has bee…

A three-dimensional boundary-integral algorithm is developed to study the squeezing of a deformable drop through a tight constriction formed by several solid particles rigidly held in space. The drop is freely suspended and driven by a flow that is uniform away from the solid obstacles. Particular emphasis is on the t…

The strain amplitude dependent internal friction at room temperature and the transition temperatures of CuAlMn-shape memory alloys with Al contents from 8.9 wt.% to 12.7 wt.% and Mn contents from 4.7 wt.% to 9.3 wt.% were investigated. The investigated strain range was 10-6 - 10-3. Rods of various compositions were di…

The damping behavior of an Fe-28Mn-6Si-5Cr-0.5NbC (mass%) shape memory alloy was measured by low cycle fatigue tests during tension-compression loadings. A remarkable damping capacity was observed above the strain amplitude of 0.1%, and the specific damping capacity (SDC) parameter reached saturation at ~ 80% above 0.…

Small neutral, anionic, and cationic silver cluster hydrides AgnH and anionic HAgnH (n=1-7) have been studied using the PW91PW91 density functional method. It was found that the most stable structure of the AgnH complex (neutral or charged) does not always come from that of the lowest energy bare silver cluster plus a…

Abstract The forces between mica surfaces confining solutions of spherical and rod‐shaped ZnS nanoparticles (diameter ca. 5 nm) coated with hexadecylamine or octadecylamine surfactant in dodecane have been measured in the absence and after the introduction of trace amounts of water. Initially, or at very low water con…

In this paper we derive an analytical expression of free Green's functions or propagators of graphene in real space by using the effective-mass approximation. We find that the propagator is highly spatial anisotropic and has threefold symmetry. We also present a theoretical model for explaining scanning tunnel microsc…

Humans have always looked to nature for design inspiration, and material design on the molecular level is no different. Here we explore how this idea applies to nanoscale biomimicry, specifically examining both recent advances and our own work on engineering lipid and polymer membrane systems with cellular processes.
