The simulated near field features show that it is the selective hollowing of PS beads that results in collapsing and buckling of the shells. This understanding provides a new route towards unconventional colloidal nanostructures and defect engineering in 2D photonic crystals that can be locally and ...
Surface-functionalized polymer beads encoded with molecular luminophores and nanocrystalline emitters such as semiconductor nanocrystals, often referred to as quantum dots (QDs), or magnetic nanoparticles are broadly used in the life sciences as reporters and carrier beads. Many of these applications requ...
Liquid crystals (LC) are widely used for electronic displays. In these display systems, an LC layer is typically situated between a polarizer layer and an analyzer layer and has a director exhibiting an azimuthal twist through the layer with respect to the normal axis. The analyzer is oriented...
The distribution of olive and fusiform beads, geographically limited to Bohemia, Moravia (Czech Republic), Bavaria (Germany) and its surrounding area in the eighth–tenth centuries, suggests local central European glass-working. Archaeological differences in regional preference for olive or fusiform beads...
This is an interesting clasp. I think all the little divots are places for putting tiny crystals. I did buy a bunch of tiny Swarovski crystals awhile back and found them recently while looking for something else. I might have some tiny Potomac crystals as well. Now I just have to figure...
Maybe you would use the clear liquid to run around some pre-baked and carved “crystals” made from solid translucent clay first? I think it might be a little rubbery looking for the crystals themselves. Jay Williams, 18 June, 2017 Hi Cindy, Great video and so glad you keep us up to ...
XRD pattern for ZnO reveals the significant peaks at (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), (200), and (112) indicated adequate compatibility with wurtzite crystal struc- ture which revealed the structure of crystals is hexagonal (Yuvaraja et al. 2017). The sharp diffraction ...
