Optical Forces in Metal/Dielectric/Metal Fishnet Metamaterials in the Visible Wavelength Regime by Tun Cao, Lei Zhang, Martin J. Cryan

“…The optical force is calculated on a nanoparticle in close proximity to the surface of a fishnet metamaterial based on a metal/dielectric/metal film when illuminated at visible wavelengths. We show that the optical force can be enhanced by the strong magnetic dipole in the fishnet metamaterial. …”

Activating Flux TIG Welding Technology of 2219 High Strength Aluminum Alloy by LI Hui, ZOU Jia-sheng, YAO Jun-shan, PENG Hao-ping

“…The results show that adding activating flux helps to remove the oxide film on the weld face of the 2219 aluminum alloy, improve the weld surface forming quality; the four-component activating flux of weld face forming is the best; compared with the weld quality of variable polarity TIG welding (VPTIG), DCSP A-TIG welding method significantly reduces the porosity generation in 2219 aluminum alloy weld; AlF₃ single-component activating flux obviously increases the weld penetration, which has obvious dragged arc phenomenon; DCSP A-TIG welded seam has the same structure component as the parent metal. …”
