We studied the surface wave and reflective properties of two types of metamaterials, one that combines a material with dispersive μ with a metal film, and another that possesses arbitrary ε and μ. Generic surface wave phase diagrams with respect to ε and μ are given. For the first type, we find that the simultaneous a…

We report a polarized fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (pFRAP) method to measure the rotational dynamics of fluorescent colloids over a wide dynamic range. The method is based on the polarization anisotropy in the fluorescence intensity, generated by bleaching of fluorescently labeled particles with an inten…

We have investigated atomistic processes of nucleation and crystallization in supercooled liquid silicon (Si) based on molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations using the Tersoff potential. MD cells composed of up to 8192 Si atoms were heated to produce melted Si, and then melted Si was quenched under various supercooled co…

A theoretical investigation of the properties of the Si3C4, Si4C3, and Si4C4 clusters is reported. Systematic explorations of the potential energy surfaces of the three clusters are performed using a combination of ab initio molecular dynamics and local energy minimizations using density functional theory. A large num…

To clarify different phase formations of diamond nanocrystals upon pulsed-laser-induced liquid-solid interfacial reaction (PLIIR), we preformed the first-principles investigation of the total energy of cubic and hexagonal diamond. Interestingly, by a comparison of the structure stabilities of cubic and hexagonal diamo…

In this paper we study the magnetocaloric effect in the Laves phase pseudobinary $\mathrm{Er}({\mathrm{Co}}_{1\ensuremath{-}c}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{c}{)}_{2}.$ We use a theoretical model, considering both the localized spins of rare-earth ions and the itinerant electrons of the transition elements. The two-body interactions…

We studied two bidimensional square gratings of square holes formed in photoresist layers deposited on silicon wafers, both by classical spectroscopic ellipsometry (1.5-4.5-eV spectral range) at a constant incidence angle (70.7 degrees) and by angle-resolved Mueller polarimetry at a constant wavelength (532 nm). The g…

The correction of order $1/\ensuremath{\omega}$ to the high-energy total ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ photoproduction cross section in the electric field of a heavy atom is derived with the exact account of this field; $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is the photon energy. The consideration is based on the use of the quasiclass…

A computational methodology is presented that is designed to model, at a coarse-grained level, the mesoscale dynamics of fluids and potentially other forms of soft matter. Within a molecular dynamics simulation, "ghost" particles of a specific size, corresponding to the fundamental length-scale of coarse-graining, are…
