In the semiconductor industry, more sophisticated control of the planarization steps is a key process requirement for higher density chip technology. The use of colloidal dispersion of metal oxide ...
Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...
Figure 1: Analytical study of one-dimensional chains of resonant point scatterers. Starting from this unit cell that creates the single negative property, we build two new configurations just by ...
In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...
The methods by which neutron diffraction and inelastic scattering may be used to study the structure and dynamics of solutions are reviewed, with particular reference to solutions of amphiphile and ...
In 1967 the Russian physicist Victor Veselago predicted the existence of a material with a negative index of refraction, which he termed “left-handed.” He concluded that in the presence of such a ...
Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close, and give negative-index materials a positive future Figure 1: Negative-index ...
Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...
