Strong modification of the nonlinear optical response of metallic subwavelength hole arrays

The influence of hole shape on the nonlinear optical properties of metallic subwavelength hole arrays is investigated. It is found that the amount of second harmonics generated can be enhanced by changing the hole shape. In part this increase is a direct result of the effect of hole shape on the linear transmission properties. Remarkably, in addition to enhancements that follow directly from the linear properties of the array, we find a hot hole shape. For rectangular holes the effective nonlinear response is enhanced by more than 1 order of magnitude for one particular aspect ratio. This enhancement can be attributed to slow propagation of the fundamental wavelength through the holes which occurs close to the hole cutoff.     

A molecular dynamics investigation of the deformation mechanism and shape memory effect of epoxy shape memory polymers

Following deformation, thermally induced shape memory polymers(SMPs) have the ability to recover their original shape with a change in temperature. In this work, the thermomechanical properties and shape memory behaviors of three types of epoxy SMPs with varying curing agent contents were investigated using a molecular dynamics(MD) method. The mechanical properties under uniaxial tension at different temperatures were obtained, and the simulation results compared reasonably with experimental data. In addition, in a thermomechanical cycle, ideal shape memory effects for the three types of SMPs were revealed through the shape frozen and shape recovery responses at low and high temperatures, respectively, indicating that the recovery time is strongly influenced by the ratio of E-51 to 4,4'-Methylenedianiline.     

Dynamic magnetic and hysteretic properties of the different type core/shell nanostructures: the effect of geometry of wire shape

In the present study, we examine by comparison the dynamic magnetic and hysteretic properties of nanostructures with different magnetic core/shell particles confined within a shape structure of the wire. The model of nanostructures with core?=?spin-1 and shell?=?spin-3/2, namely cylindrical, cubic and hexagonal nanowire, is proposed for studying the effect of the geometry of wire shape on the magnetic and hysteretic properties. The results were obtained by mean-field theory as well as Glauber-type stochastic dynamics, and focused the response to thermal and hysteretic behaviours of systems. All results display dynamic magnetic properties of the nanostructure strongly dependent on the geometry of wire shape. Moreover, temperature and crystal field are proposed as the important factors affecting the dynamic properties of wire systems.     

Scaling relationships in sharp conical indentation of shape memory alloys

Based on dimensional analysis and finite element calculations, several scaling relationships in the indentation of shape memory alloys with a sharp conical indenter were obtained. These scaling relationships illustrate the dependence of the indentation response on the material properties of shape memory alloys, such as phase transition and plastic deformation. It is shown that the yield stress and strain-hardening exponent of transformed martensite play important roles in the indentation response, in addition to the phase transition properties. Additionally, the general relationships between indentation hardness and phase transition stress, maximum transition strain, martensite yield stress and the strain-hardening exponent of shape memory alloys were obtained. The results show that the indentation hardness of shape memory alloys is not proportional to the phase transition stress or to the martensite yield stress, and cannot be used directly to measure the phase transition stress or the yield stress of shape memory alloys.

Structure and Shape Memory Properties of Polyurethane Copolymers Having Urethane Chains as Soft Segments

Shape memory polyurethanes are usually fabricated with low-molecular weight polyols through a two-step copolymerization, which often results in difficulty attaining both desired shape memory switch temperature and optimal thermomechanical properties. Here we present a series of shape memory polyurethane copolymers having urethane chains as soft segments. The structure and shape memory properties of copolymers were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, small angle x-ray scattering, and thermomechanical tests. Increasing the length of the urethane soft segments enhanced phase separation, while it brought little change to the glass transition temperature (T _g). Based on the urethane soft segments, some rigid chain extenders could be readily introduced into the backbone of copolymers, resulting in better phase separation. All polyurethane copolymers exhibited more than 90% of shape recovery. The shape recovery of the materials was proved to be inversely proportional to the fraction of hard phase and directly proportional to the stability of hard domains. The copolymers containing longer soft and hard segments and rigid chain extenders exhibited higher deformation stress and thus larger recovery stress. The copolymerization employing urethane chains as soft segments can greatly expand flexibility for molecular design and favor the optimization of shape memory properties.     

Light scattering by an erythrocyte based on discrete sources method: Shape and refractive index influence

An efficient method for the fast detection of properties of a single erythrocyte from its scattering characteristics is needed in practice. To develop such a method a detailed investigation of the light scattering properties of the erythrocyte and their dependence on its shape and refractive index is of great interest. In this paper the influence of the real erythrocyte's shape with deep concavities and refractive index on the scattering characteristics is analyzed based on an updated scheme of the discrete sources method. Realistic shape models of an erythrocyte, calculated from minima of membrane potential energy are considered. The numerical scheme of discrete sources method has been adjusted for shape profiles given numerically. An improved algorithm allows increasing of an accuracy of calculations.     

Light scattering by slightly nonspherical particles on surfaces

We investigate the shape dependence of the scattering by dielectric and metallic particles on surfaces by considering particles whose free-space scattering properties are nearly identical. The scattering by metallic particles is strongly dependent on the shape of the particle in the region near where the particle touches the surface. The scattering by dielectric particles displays a weaker, but nonetheless significant, dependence on particle shape. These results have a significant effect on the use of light scattering to size and identify particles on surfaces.     

The effect of shape and size on the electronic properties of ultrafine metallic particles

The subject of ultrafine metallic particles is treated with emphasis on energy level statistics. The energy level statistics so far proposed are reviewed based on the effect of shape of particles. The deviation of the nature of the chemical bond and that of magnetic properties in small size systems from those of bulk is described. The relevant electronic properties are expressed by formulae that incorporate the effect of shape in addition to size. New and old experiments including NMR Knight shift and static magnetic susceptibility are analyzed by means of the proposed formulae. The shape of particles is discussed in connection with the preparation methods. A concept of “the degree of metallicity” is introduced to characterize the statistics of level spacing fluctuation of small metal particles. A number of electronic properties of small size materials are also explained in terms of their sizes. The systems examined are small particles and conjugated chain compounds. The concept of zero-dimensionality is proposed and it is correlated with certain conservation laws such as topological invariance (conservation of shape) and as a conservation of the number of spins (parity of electrons).
