Remote Monitoring of Structures in Composite Materials via Embedded Thermo-Chemical Sensors

B. Golchinfar [1], M. Rutner [1], D. Donskoy [1],
[1] Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA

Composite systems are becoming more and more widespread across industries and the capability to finding and tracking internal defects before they have grown to major deterioration is of paramount importance in regard to safety, economy and maintenance. We are exploring a novel method of ... Read More

MRI Birdcage RF Coil Resonance with Uncertainty and Relative Error Convergence Rates

J. T. Fong [1],
[1] National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA

In a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, it is necessary to excite the nuclei of a patient into coherent precession for imaging. This requires a coupling between the nuclei and a source of radio frequency (RF) power using a transmitter. To receive a meaningful signal, we also need ... Read More

[2] Science and Technology on Electromagnetic Scattering Laboratory, Beijing, China

Recently, the researchers usually use the hydrodynamic Drude model (HDM)to investigate the nonlocal optical response of metallic nanostructure. The advantage of the HDM is easy to implement numerical calculation for larger and more complex shaped nanoplasmonic structures. For the HDM, it ... Read More

The Metal Patch Effect on the Microwave Heating Uniformity

Huacheng Zhu [1], Qian Meng [2], Quansheng Wang [2], Youqi Deng [2],
[1] Institute of Applied Electromagnetics, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China
[2] College of Physical Science and Technology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China

Microwave heating is known for its efficiency and instantaneity. However, the non-uniformity of the microwave heating has limited the development of its application in industry. In order to solve this problem, a metal patch sticking to the turntable was proposed. During the heating ... Read More

Metamaterial Based Patch Antenna with Broad Bandwidth Designed by COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

李学识 [1], 郑李娟 [1],
[1] 广东工业大学,广州,中国

A patch antenna based on metamaterials of composite split-ring-resonators (CSRRs) and strip gaps is designed with COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The antenna is constructed by using CSRR structures in forms of circular rings on the patch and employing strip gaps on the ground plane. The ... Read More

Liquid Crystal Based Terahertz Metamaterial Absorbers

Wang Lei [1],
[1] Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing, China

Metamaterial-based absorbers play a significant role in applications ranging from energy harvesting and thermal emitters to sensors and imaging devices. The middle dielectric layer of conventional metamaterial absorbers has always been solid. Researchers could not detect the near field ... Read More

A Reliable Approach to Estimate Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering Intensity of Metal Nanostructures

En-Ming You [1], Jun Yi [1], Song-Yuan Ding [1,2],
[1] State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China
[2] Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a fingerprint spectroscopy whose sensitivity is down to single molecule level. The mechanism of SERS is mainly contributed to huge enhancement of local electric field, which originated from surface plasmon resonance of metal nanostructures. It ... Read More

Enhanced Spontaneous Emission in Plasmonic Nanostructures

Jun Yi [1], Song-Yuan Ding [2],
[1] State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China
[2] Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China

Spontaneous emission -- an electron in an excited state of an emitter spontaneously decays to another state with lower energy -- plays an important role in determining the performance of light-emitting diodes, fluorescent dyes, colorants, solar cells, etc. The efficiency of spontaneous ...
