The split step method is applied to the iteration of the beam propagation method for analyzing the reflection of a laser beam by a volume Bragg grating. The application of the split step method is made possible by a way to properly treat the grating coupling terms in the paraxial wave equations. This method is demonst…
The NiTi alloy can be trained by repetitive loading or heating cycles. As a result of the training, a two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) can be induced. Considerable research has been reported regarding the TWSME trained by tensile loading. However, the TWSME trained by compressive loading has not been investigated n…
Abstract On the basis of the argument that a monochelated octahedral transition‐metal unit is topologically analogous to the Type II ( cis ‐dioxo) metal center frequently observed in the structures of many polyoxometalates, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of salts of two polyoxomolybdate anions…
Abstract The application of an externally applied pre‐stress on impact properties is studied on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) organic glass. Samples are tested under equi‐biaxial compression, simple shear and a combination of biaxial compression and shear. Equi‐biaxial compression is shown to increase the threshold s…
We review the recent experimental results from our Nonlinear Physics Center on tunability and nonlinear response of microstructured metamaterials with negative refractive index. We suggest and design new types of tunable metamaterials exhibiting either nonlinear magnetic or nonlinear electric response at microwave fre…
Optical switching with single nanosecond laser pulses of 532 nm wavelength is reported using high-efficiency optical axis gratings made with a nematic liquid crystal doped with an azobenzene dye. The azobenzene dye we have synthesized exhibits enhanced photosensitivity at green wavelengths, allowing for low threshold…
Trägerfixierte Nanoplättchen bestehend aus einer Gold-Silber-Legierung (siehe Bild) wurden durch Abscheidung von Silber-Nanoplättchen auf einem Galliumarsenid-Wafer und anschließendes Überwachsen und Legieren mit der Goldkomponente synthetisiert. Die hohe spezifische Oberfläche der Nanoplättchen sorgt für eine hohe ka…
Abstract The mechanical properties of ultrathin electrospun poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) fibers were studied by performing tensile tests on individual fibers. The tests were carried out on microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMSs) which were developed for characterizing the mechanical properties of thin polymer fiber…
The isotope effects for Fe-based superconductors are considered by including the phonon and magnetic fluctuations within the two-band Eliashberg theory. We show that the recently observed inverse isotope effects of Fe, ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\text{Fe}}\ensuremath{\approx}\ensuremath{-}0.18\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}…
Using elastic neutron scattering on single crystals of ${\text{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{A}_{x}{\text{CoO}}_{3}$ ($A={\text{Ca}}^{2+}$, ${\text{Sr}}^{2+}$, and ${\text{Ba}}^{2+}$), we found the development of magnetic superstructures below the global magnetic transition to be strongly dependent on the size of the $A$-si…
Abstract Injection moulding processing of composite materials most often includes infiltration of a thermoset resin into a multi‐scale porous fabric. Controlling the fluid flow within the multi‐scale fabric is essential for the quality of the final composite material, since the transport of fluid between regions with…
We have studied the contact angle of glycerol nanodroplets on a partial wetting substrate using the tapping mode of an atomic force microscope. Our experiment shows strong contact angle hysteresis of nanodroplets (radius <100 nm) on mica substrate with atomic-level roughness. The theoretical analysis reveals and our e…
In this paper, we prepared "dual-parallel-channel" shape-gradient surfaces, on which water droplets can reversibly and orientedly move between two adjacent pools under the guidance of an external voltage. Furthermore, it is found that the motion speed is governed by several parameters, including bath condition, gradie…
This work presents a transflective liquid-crystal (LC) display with a single cell gap in a dual-alignment configuration. This dual structure was fabricated via single-step laser-light exposure through a photomask. The vertical alignment induced by nanoparticles of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes can be changed i…
A novel approach to solubilize single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the aqueous phase is described by employing supramolecular surface modification. We use cyclodextrin complexes of synthetic molecules that contain a planar pyrene moiety or a bent, shape-fitted triptycene moiety as a binding group connected thro…
We consider the relationship of nucleation tendency with crystallizing-phase structures in silicate glasses using glassy sanbornite (1BaO–2SiO2) that shows homogeneous nucleation resulting crystallization of Ba5Si8O21 and β-BaSi2O5 phases with a layered structure of a network modifier and a network former. This trend…
Abstract The morphology development of polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene (SEBS) ternary blends and their fibers were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with the melt linear viscoelastic measurements. The morphology of the blends was…
The liquid crystal phase diagram of fluids of rigid discotics with soft interactions has been investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The particles are modeled by spherocylinders or Gay-Berne ellipsoids with thickness/diameter aspect ratios of L/D=0.2. The study includes a variety of pair interaction potenti…
We synthesize nanoporous platinum (np-Pt) through electrochemical dealloying in aqueous HF from cosputtered PtxSi1−x amorphous films for different initial composition and sputter bias conditions. We demonstrate that, in addition to the expected isotropic open cell np-Pt foam, anisotropic (columnar and Voronoi) np-Pt i…
A measurement method is proposed for observing dielectric dispersion of ferroelectric ceramics in the gigahertz region. This method is based on scattering parameter (S11) measurements using a pair of electrodes. Using this method, relaxation-type dielectric dispersion of BaTiO3 ceramics is observed in the range from 1…
