 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Mechanically stretchable and reversibly deformable liquid metal-based plasmonics | We demonstrate that liquid metals are attractive materials for active plasmonic devices at terahertz frequencies. Using a liquid metal injected into an elastomeric mold, we measure the static and stretched transmission properties of aperture arrays. | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Garrett, Timothy J. | Modes of growth in dynamic systems | Regardless of a system's complexity or scale, its growth can be considered to be a spontaneous thermodynamic response to a local convergence of down-gradient material flows. Here it is shown how system growth can be constrained to a few distinct modes that depend on the time integral of past flows a... | 2012-01-01 | |
