The role of volumetric energy density on the microstructural evolution, texture and mechanical properties of 304L stainless steel parts additively manufactured via selective laser melting process is investigated. 304L is chosen because it is a potential candidate to be used as a matrix in a metal matrix composite with nanoparticles...
This paper reviews the current progress in mathematical modeling of
anti-reflective subwavelength structures. Methods covered include effective medium
theory (EMT), finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), transfer matrix method (TMM), the
Fourier modal method (FMM)/rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) and the finite
element method (FEM). Time-based solutions to Maxwell’s equations, such as FDTD,
have...

Continuous microreactor-assisted solution deposition is demonstrated for the deposition
of CdS thin films on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass. The continuous flow
system consists of a microscale T-junction micromixer with the co-axial water circulation
heat exchanger to control the reacting chemical flux and optimize the heterogeneous surface
reaction. Dense,...
ZnO nanofilms with four distinctly different morphologies were fabricated by adjusting physical parameters including the flow rate of the solution and rpm of the rotating disk in the continuous flow mircroreactor system while keeping the same chemical precursors, precursor solution concentration, and reaction temperature. Controlled reactive species including colloidal ZnO...
Converting CO2 to valuable materials is attractive.Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m2/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m...
