A conformal transformation approach to wide-angle illusion device and absorber by Huang, Yao, Zhang, Youming, Zhang, Jingjing, Liu, Dongjue, Wang, Qijie, Zhang, Baile, Luo, Yu

“…We theoretically investigate the illusion device designed by a conformal transformation that can render an elliptic defect behave like a flat mirror. Different from illusion devices consisting of the complementary medium and anti-object with negative permittivity and permeability, our proposed illusion device requires only isotropic positive permittivity medium. …”

Rapid controllable synthesis of branched Au superparticles: formation mechanism of toggling the growth mode and their applications in optical broadband absorption by Zhong, Shichuan, Hang, Lifeng, Wen, Lulu, Zhang, Tao, Cao, An, Zeng, Pan, Zhang, Hanlin, Liu, Dilong, Cai, Weiping, Li, Yue

“…We develop a tunable, ultrafast (5 seconds), and mass-producible seed-mediated synthesis method to prepare branched Au superparticles consisting of multiple small Au island-like nanoparticles by a wet chemical route. We reveal and confirm the toggling formation mechanism of Au superparticles between the Frank-van der Merwe (FM) growth mode and the Volmer-Weber (VW) growth mode. …”
