Butterfly-Inspired 2D Periodic Tapered-Staggered Subwavelength Gratings Designed Based on Finite Difference Time Domain Method by Wang, Houxiao, Zhou, Wei, Li, Er Ping, Mote, Rakesh Ganpat

“…The butterfly-inspired 2D periodic tapered-staggered subwavelength gratings were developed mainly using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, assisted by using focused ion beam (FIB) nanoscale machining or fabrication. The periodic subwavelength structures along the ridges of the designed gratings may change the electric field intensity distribution and weaken the surface reflection. …”

Selective sulfidation of metal compounds by Stinn, Caspar, Allanore, Antoine

“…Several simple process levers (gas partial pressure, gas flowrate, carbon addition) were demonstrated to selectively sulfidize a target metal from a mixed metal oxide feed. The physical and chemical differences between the sulfide and oxide compounds (e.g. density, magnetic susceptibility, surface chemistry) can then be exploited for vastly improved separation over liquid-liquid methods9. …”
