Theoretical investigation of the structural, elastic, electronic, and dielectric properties of alkali-metal-based bismuth ternary chalcogenide
(2020)
The past decade has witnessed the rapid introduction of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds in photovoltaic applications. Motivated by the strong demand for stable and nontoxic materials in this class, we report a theoretical ...
Theory of cylindrical dense packings of disks
(2014)
We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analyzing the rules for phyllotactic indices of related structures ...
Conical diffraction and Bessel beam formation with a high optical quality biaxial crystal
(2009)
The manipulation of a Gaussian laser beam using conical
diffraction in a high optical quality biaxial crystal of KGd(WO4)2 has been
examined in detail with emphasis on the experimental techniques involved
and intuitive ...
Improving the Mechanical Properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Sheets by Intercalation of Polymeric Adhesives
(2003)
Organic polymers, such as poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), and poly(styrene), were intercalated into single-walled carbon nanotube sheets by soaking the sheets in polymer solutions. Even for short soak times, ...
Reactivity of transition-metal alloys to oxygen and sulfur
(2021)
Oxidation and tarnishing are the two most common initial steps in the corrosive process of metals at ambient
conditions. These are always initiated with O and S binding to a metallic surface, so that one can use the ...
Predictions of the Compressible Fluid Model and its Comparison to Experimental Measurements of Q Factors and Flexural Resonance Frequencies for Microcantilevers
(2012)
The qualitative agreement between experimental measurements of the 𝑄 factors and flexural resonance frequencies in air of microcantilevers and calculations based on the compressible fluid model of Van Eysden and Sader ...
Theory of diffusivelight scattering from disordered materials
(International Society for Optical Engineering, 1994)
It is suggested that the measurement of the angular distribution
of light transmitted through a thick slab of diffusively scattering material
may provide information about the nature of the local scattering
events. Monte ...
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of low-dimensional structures on vicinal silicon (111) surfaces
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2008)
Charge carrier mobility in hybrid halide perovskites
(2015)
The charge transport properties of hybrid halide perovskites are investigated with a combination of density functional theory including van der Waals interaction and the Boltzmann theory for diffusive transport in the ...
Carbon nanotubes and nanotube composites for nonlinear optical devices
(2009)
Carbon nanotubes possess not only outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal properties but also unique nonlinear optical properties. In this Feature Article, we review the recent developments of the carbon nanotube ...
