Photonic Crystals Based on Periodic Arrays of Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
Krzysztof Kempa,Brian R. Kimball,Jacob Rybczynski,Z. P. Huang,Pengfei Wu,D. Steeves,M. Sennett,Michael Giersig,Devulapalli V. G. L. N. Rao,David Carnahan,D. Z. Wang,J. Y. Lao,Wei Li,Zhifeng Ren +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large area periodic array of well-aligned carbon nanotubes can be fabricated inexpensively on Ni dots made by the process of self-assembly nanosphere lithography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receiving and transmitting light-like radio waves: Antenna effect in arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes
Yang Wang,Krzysztof Kempa,Brian R. Kimball,Joel B. Carlson,G. Benham,Wei Li,Thomas J. Kempa,J. Rybczynski,Andrzej Herczynski,Zhifeng Ren +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present optical measurements of random arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes and show that the response is consistent with conventional radio antenna theory, and demonstrate the polarization effect, the suppression of reflected signal when the electric field of the incoming radiation is polarized perpendicular to the nanotube axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanotubes as Optical Antennae
Krzysztof Kempa,J. Rybczynski,Zhongping Huang,Keith Gregorczyk,Andy Vidan,Brian R. Kimball,Joel B. Carlson,G. Benham,Yang Wang,Andrzej Herczynski,Zhifeng Ren +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple wire antenna was shown to be a resonator of the external electromagnetic radiation, which is consistent with conventional radio antenna theory and simulations, by demonstrating that its directional radiation characteristics are in an excellent and quantitative agreement with conventional Radio antenna theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-quantity free-standing ZnO nanowires
Debasish Banerjee,J. Y. Lao,Dezhi Wang,Jian Yu Huang,Zhifeng Ren,Diane M. Steeves,Brian R. Kimball,Michael Sennett +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-quantity (grams) one-dimensional ZnO nanowires of different sizes have been synthesized by a simple thermal evaporation of zinc oxide powder in a tube furnace at a temperature controlled to 1000-1200 °C and pressure to 1-2 Torr air.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Promise of Diffractive Waveplates
TL;DR: Diffractive waveplates exhibit the high diffraction efficiency of Bragg gratings in micron-thick material layers as discussed by the authors, which is similar to the one we use in this paper.
