A system for probing Casimir energy corrections to the condensation energy

December 28, 2020
Author(s)
Diego J. Perez, Alexander Stange, Richard Lally, Lawrence Barrett, Matthias Imboden, Abhishek Som, David Campbell, Vladimir Aksyuk, David Bishop
In this article, we present a nano-electromechanical system (NEMS) designed to detect changes in the Casimir Energy. The Casimir effect is a result of the appearance of quantum fluctuations in the electromagnetic vacuum. Previous experiments have used nano

3D printing is transforming traditional processing methods in applications ranging from tissue engineering to optics. To fulfill its maximum potential, 3D printing requires a robust technique for producing structures with precise three-dimensional (x, y

Independent Amplitude Control of Arbitrary Orthogonal States of Polarization via Dielectric Metasurfaces

December 23, 2020
Author(s)
Qingbin Fan, Mingze Liu, Cheng Zhang, Wenqi Zhu, Yilin Wang, Peicheng Lin, Feng Yan, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Amit Agrawal, Ting Xu
Exquisite polarization control using optical metasurfaces has attracted considerable attention thanks to their ability to manipulate multichannel independent wavefronts with subwavelength resolution. Here we present a new class of metasurface polarization

Confinement and Processing Can Alter the Morphology and Periodicity of Bottlebrush Block Copolymers in Thin Films

December 22, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel Sunday, Moshe Dolejsi, Alice B. Chang, Lee J. Richter, Ruipeng Li, Paul Nealey, Robert H. Grubbs
Bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) are intriguing architectural variations on linear BCPs with highly tunable structure. Confinement can have a significant impact on polymer assembly, giving rise to changes in morphology, assembly kinetics, and properties

Microscopic Origin of Inhomogeneous Transport in Four-Terminal Tellurene Devices

December 22, 2020
