We use first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the dielectric response of BaZrO 3 based perovskites. In this study we have substituted Ca for Ba over a range of compositions to understand what causes the recently reported (Levin et al., J. Solid State Chem. 2003, 175, 170) nonmonotonic d…

The behavior of quantum dots (QDs) in penetration into cell nuclei is investigated. It is discovered that the combination of an organic fluorophore staining the nuclei and UV irradiation can cause QDs of certain size or surface modifications to be trapped inside the cell nuclei. These findings not only provide new ins…

Based on the transformation media theory, the authors propose a way to replace a wide window with a narrow slit filled with designed metamaterial to achieve the same transmittance as the one of the window. Numerical simulations for a two dimensional case are given to illustrate the ideas and the performance of the des…

Abstract Lithographically Patterned Nanowire Electrodeposition (LPNE) is a new nanofabrication technique in which photolithography is used to define the position of electrodeposited nanowires on the surface of a dielectric such as glass or oxidized silicon. In LPNE, a resist‐covered nickel film with a thickness of bew…

It can be expected that a chiral solvent possesses a certain potential to discriminate between two enantiomers by creating specific weak interactions and forming diastereomeric complexes which have different physical properties. Thus, for chiral solvents, there might be an asymmetry in the solubility phase diagrams th…
