Demonstration of a Three-dimensional Negative Index Medium Operated at Multiple-angle Incidences by Monolithic Metallic Hemispherical Shells.

ABSTRACT: We design and construct a three-dimensional (3D) negative index medium (NIM) composed of gold hemispherical shells to supplant an integration of a split-ring resonator and a discrete plasmonic wire for both negative permeability and permittivity at THz gap. With the proposed highly symmetric gold hemispherical shells, the negative index is preserved at multiple incident angles ranging from 0° to 85° for both TE and TM waves, which is further evidenced by negative phase flows in animated field distributions and outweighs conventional fishnet structures with operating frequency shifts when varying incident angles. Finally, the fabrication of the gold hemispherical shells is facilitated via standard UV lithographic and isotropic wet etching processes and characterized by ?-FTIR. The measurement results agree the simulated ones very well.

Intrinsic DMI-free skyrmion formation and robust dynamic behaviors in magnetic hemispherical shells.

Project description:We performed finite-element micromagnetic simulations to examine the formation of skyrmions without intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in magnetic hemispherical shells. We found that curvature-induced DM-like interaction allows for further stabilization of skyrmions without the DMI in curved-geometry hemispherical shells for a specific range of uniaxial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) constant Ku. The larger the curvature of the shell, the higher the Ku value required for the formation of the skyrmions. With well-stabilized skyrmions, we also found in-plane gyration modes and azimuthal spin-wave modes as well as an out-of-plane breathing mode, similarly to previously found modes for planar geometries. Furthermore, additional higher-frequency hybrid modes were observed due to coupling between the gyration and azimuthal modes. This work provides further physical insight into the static and dynamic properties of intrinsic DMI-free skyrmions formed in curved-geometry systems.

Wide-angle scanning planar array with quasi-hemispherical-pattern elements.

Project description:A compact quasi-hemispherical-pattern antenna, two linear wide-angle scanning arrays, and a planar wide-angle scanning array are proposed. To increase the field-of-view scanning range of arrays, a compact low-profile antenna with a quasi-hemispherical pattern is introduced firstly. When the ground is infinite, the proposed antenna has a quasi-hemispherical pattern, i.e., an approximately uniform radiation in the upper half space. Afterward, two linear arrays arranged along the length and width of the proposed antenna's radiation patch are presented. The main beams of the two arrays with 16 active elements can scan from less than -75° to more than +75°. When the linear array element number is 128, the maximum scanning angle can reach 86°. At last, a planar array with 16 × 16 active elements is proposed. In two special planes, xz plane and yz plane, the main beams of the planar array can scan from less than -77° to more than +77° with a gain fluctuation less than 5 dB and a maximum side lobe level (SLL) less than -10 dB. An excellent wide-angle-scanning performance both in linear and planar arrays can be obtained using the proposed method.

Spray-coated perovskite hemispherical photodetector featuring narrow-band and wide-angle imaging.

Project description:Sphere imagers featuring specific wavelength recognition and wide-angle imaging are required to meet the fast development of modern technology. However, it is still challenging to deposit high-quality photosensitive layers on sphere substrates from low-cost solution processes. Here we report spray-coated quasi-two-dimensional phenylethylammonium/formamidinium lead halide (PEA2FAn-1PbnX3n+1) perovskite hemispherical photodetectors. The crystallization speed is manipulated by perovskite compositions, and the film thickness can be controlled by spray-coating cycles and solution concentration from tens of nanometers to hundreds of micrometers with a fast velocity of 1.28 × 10-4 cm3 s-1. The lens-free hemispherical photodetectors allow light response at a wide incident angle of 180°. Simultaneously, the wavelength selective response from visible to the near-infrared range is achieved with full width at half maximums (FWHMs) of ~20 nm, comparable to single-crystal devices. Wide-angle and wavelength-selective imaging are also demonstrated, which can find potential applications in intelligent recognition and intraoperative navigated surgery.

Experimental Demonstration of Light Focusing Enabled by Monolithic High-Contrast Grating Mirrors.

Project description:We present the first experimental demonstration of a planar focusing monolithic subwavelength grating mirror. The grating is formed on the surface of GaAs and focuses 980 nm light in one dimension on the high-refractive-index side of the mirror. According to our measurements, the focal length is 475 μm (300 μm of which is GaAs) and the numerical aperture is 0.52. The intensity of the light at the focal point is 23 times larger than that of the incident light. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest value reported for a grating mirror. Moreover, the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) at the focal point is only 3.9 μm, which is the smallest reported value for a grating mirror. All of the measured parameters are close to or very close to the theoretically predicted values. Our realization of a sophisticated design of a focusing monolithic subwavelength grating opens a new avenue to technologically simple fabrication of the gratings for use in diverse optoelectronic materials and applications.

Delocalized Plastic Flow in Proton-Irradiated Monolithic Metallic Glasses.

Project description:Creating new materials with novel properties through structural modification is the Holy Grail of materials science. The range of targetable structures for amplification of mechanical properties in metallic glasses would include types of atomic short range orders at the smallest scale through compositions or morphologies of phases in composites. Even though the usefulness of the latter approach has been successfully demonstrated in the past decades, the feasibility of the former has been incompletely proved with only marginal property improvements reported within experimentally-accessible atomic-level structural changes. Here, we report the significant enhancement of deformability in Zr-based monolithic metallic glass only through the atomic disordering by proton irradiation without altering any other structural traits. Metallic glass nanopillars that originally failed catastrophically without any notable plasticity become capable of attaining more than 30% uniaxial plastic strain accommodated by homogeneous deformation when irradiated to ~1 displacement per atom (DPA). We discuss the atomistic origin of this improved plasticity in terms of density and spatial distributions of icosahedral short range order influenced by irradiation.

Existence of multiple critical cooling rates which generate different types of monolithic metallic glass.

Project description:Via fast differential scanning calorimetry using an Au-based glass as an example, we show that metallic glasses should be classified into two types of amorphous/monolithic glass. The first type, termed self-doped glass (SDG), forms quenched-in nuclei or nucleation precursors upon cooling, whereas in the so-called chemically homogeneous glass (CHG) no quenched-in structures are found. For the Au-based glass investigated, the critical cooling and heating rates for the SDG are 500 K s-1 and 20,000 K s-1, respectively; for the CHG they are 4000 K s-1 and 6000 K s-1. The similarity in the critical rates for CHG, so far not reported in literature, and CHG's tendency towards stochastic nucleation underline the novelty of this glass state. Identifying different types of metallic glass, as is possible by advanced chip calorimetry, and comparing them with molecular and polymeric systems may help to elaborate a more generalized glass theory and improve metallic glass processing.

Metallic nanocrystals with low angle grain boundary for controllable plastic reversibility.

Project description:Advanced nanodevices require reliable nanocomponents where mechanically-induced irreversible structural damage should be largely prevented. However, a practical methodology to improve the plastic reversibility of nanosized metals remains challenging. Here, we propose a grain boundary (GB) engineering protocol to realize controllable plastic reversibility in metallic nanocrystals. Both in situ nanomechanical testing and atomistic simulations demonstrate that custom-designed low-angle GBs with controlled misorientation can endow metallic bicrystals with endurable cyclic deformability via GB migration. Such fully reversible plasticity is predominantly governed by the conservative motion of Shockley partial dislocation pairs, which fundamentally suppress damage accumulation and preserve the structural stability. This reversible deformation is retained in a broad class of face-centred cubic metals with low stacking fault energies when tuning the GB structure, external geometry and loading conditions over a wide range. These findings shed light on practical advances in promoting cyclic deformability of metallic nanomaterials.

Waist-to-height ratio index for predicting incidences of hypertension: the ARIRANG study.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Several anthropometric indices such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) have been examined as indicators of cardiovascular diseases, in both adults and children. However, the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is considered a better predictor for the detection of cardiovascular risk factors, than BMI. We investigated the association between the WHtR and incident hypertension. METHODS:A total of 1718 participants, aged 39-72 years, were recruited in this longitudinal study. Participants were divided into 2 groups according to the development of hypertension during 2005-2008 (baseline) and 2008-2011 (follow-up). Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the WHtR as a significant predictor of hypertension. RESULTS:During the 2.8 years of follow-up, 185 new cases of hypertension (10.8%) were diagnosed, with an incidence rate of approximately 4% per year. The WHtR was significantly higher in the participants who had developed hypertension than in those who had not (0.54?±?0.05 vs. 0.51?±?0.05, p?<?0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol intake, regular exercise status, total cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure, at the baseline, the logistic regression analysis indicated that the participants with the highest quartile of the WHtR (WHtR?0.54) were 4.51 times more likely to have hypertension than those with the lowest quartile (odds ratio 4.51; 95% confidence interval 2.41-8.43; p?<?.0001). The area under the curve for the WHtR, in identifying hypertension risk, was significantly greater than that for the BMI (p?=?0.0233). CONCLUSION:A positive association between WHtR and the incidence of hypertension was observed in Korean adults. The findings of the present community-based prospective study suggest that the WHtR may be a better predictor of incident hypertension.

A new index for quantifying the ornamentational complexity of animals with shells.

Project description:Morphological complexity reflects the biological structure of an organism and is closely linked to its associated functions and phylogenetics. In animals with shells, ornamentation is an important characteristic of morphological complexity, and it has various functions. However, because of the variations in type, shape, density, and strength of ornamentation, a universal quantitative measure of morphological complexity for shelled animals is lacking. We propose an ornamentation index (OI) derived from 3D scanning technology and a virtual model for quantifying ornamentation complexity. This index is designed to measure the extent of folding associated with ornamentation, regardless of shape and size. Ornamentation indices were measured for 15 ammonite specimens from the Permian to Cretaceous, 2 modern bivalves, 2 gastropods from the Pliocene to the present, and a modern echinoid. Compared with other measurements, such as the fractal dimension, rugosity, and surface-volume ratio, the OI displayed superiority in quantifying ornamentational complexity. The present study demonstrates that the OI is suitable for accurately characterizing and quantifying ornamentation complexity, regardless of shape and size. Therefore, the OI is potentially useful for comparing the ornamentational complexity of various organisms and can be exploited to provide further insight into the evolution of conchs. Ultimately, the OI can enhance our understanding of morphological evolution of shelled organisms, for example, whether shell ornaments simplify under ocean acidification or extinction, and how predation pressure is reflected in ornamentation complexity.

Probing spin correlations using angle-resolved photoemission in a coupled metallic/Mott insulator system.

Project description:A nearly free electron metal and a Mott insulating state can be thought of as opposite ends of the spectrum of possibilities for the motion of electrons in a solid. Understanding their interaction lies at the heart of the correlated electron problem. In the magnetic oxide metal PdCrO2, nearly free and Mott-localized electrons exist in alternating layers, forming natural heterostructures. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, quantitatively supported by a strong coupling analysis, we show that the coupling between these layers leads to an "intertwined" excitation that is a convolution of the charge spectrum of the metallic layer and the spin susceptibility of the Mott layer. Our findings establish PdCrO2 as a model system in which to probe Kondo lattice physics and also open new routes to use the a priori nonmagnetic probe of photoemission to gain insights into the spin susceptibility of correlated electron materials.
