Lin H.-Y.G., Lin P-T, Lin H.-Y.G., Lin P-T, Singh V., Patel N.S., Hu J., Richardson K., Luzinov I., Hensley J., Kimerling L., Murthy Agarwal A., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Mid-Infrared optofluidics based silicon sensor platforms are demonstrated. Silicon is a great candidate for mid-infrared optofluidics for the following reasons: (1) Silicon has a broad transmission window up to 7 um (2) Silicon offers CMOS [...]

Fabrication and Characterization of the GaP/PGMA Polymer Nanocomposite for Advanced Light Emissive Device Structures

Pyshkin S.L., Ballato J., Luzinov I., Zdyrko B., Academy of Sciences, MD

This work will continues our efforts to advance GaP/PGMA polymer nanocomposite for light emissive devices based. The components of these nanocomposites demonstrate complementary behavior and each is a candidate for use in optoelectronics. Nanoparticles of [...]

Preparation and characterization of highly porous PVDF nanofibers and yarns

Andrukh T., Few C., Burtovyy O., Burtovyy R., Burtovyy O., Burtovyy R., Luzinov I., Kornev K., Clemson University, US

Unique highly porous Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) nanofibers (Figure 1) of about 50-500 nm in diameter were prepared by electrospinning. Electrospinning setup (Figure 2) allows us to control the nanofiber placement on the gap-type electrodes. In [...]

Preparation and characterization of ultrasharp tungsten wires

Kulakov M., Luzinov I., Kornev K., Clemson University, US

The ultrasharp tungsten wires were produced by electrochemical method for electroexplosion of polymers. The effects of electropolishing control parameters, tungsten wire diameter, applied voltage and depth of the wire immersion into electrolyte, on the tip [...]
