TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) was proposed to reuse the escaped luminescence at the front surface by utilizing a photonic band-stop filter that reflects photons in the luminophore's emission range while transmitting those in its absorption range.

TL;DR: The present study reveals the origin of the observed metal-metal bond length disorder, distinctively different for each system, and demonstrates the profound consequences that result from the cluster/carbon-support interactions and their key role in the structure and electronic properties of supported metallic nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-lithographic monolayer based patterning process for depositing copper thin film microstructures by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar processing chemistry that allows the synthesis and patterning of dynamically self-actuating gels of diverse form is described, where the chemical reaction covalently incorporates a methacrylate-modified ruthenium trisbipyridine monomer within a poly acrylamide (PAAm) gel, modified to provide a flexible chemistry for UV-curable, selfoscillating Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) gels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the solution chemistry, evolution of microstructure, and electrical properties of Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5} thin films, as well as the stress-related mechanism which enables selective de-adhesion and resultant patterning.
