Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. To model the shell after buckling we consider the simplified case of an embedded shell with a crack around its equator. …”

Image processing for cryogenic transmission electron microscopy of symmetry-mismatched complexes by Huiskonen, JT

“…Due to sensitivity of biological materials to the electron beam of the microscope, only relatively low electron doses can be applied during imaging. …”

Femtosecond laser cleaning for aerospace manufacturing and remanufacturing by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Guan, Yingchun

Resonant forward-scattered field in the high-saturation regime : elastic and inelastic contributions by Kwong, Chang Chi, Wellens, T., Pandey, K., Wilkowski, David

“…We measure the resonant forward scattering of light by a highly saturated atomic medium through the flashes emitted immediately after an abrupt extinction of the probe beam. The experiment is done in a dilute regime where the phenomena are well captured using the independent scattering approximation. …”

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. …”

Femtosecond laser interaction with fused silica in surface structuring by Tan, Tong Tat

“…Femtosecond laser has been considered as an advanced technique for microfabrication and micromachining of various multi-functional structures in dielectric materials through multi-photon absorption because of its high-quality and damage-free processing. However, femtosecond beam-glass interaction can be very complex when coupled with the non-linear effect of air and this is not well understood. …”
