Role of Alloying Additions in Glass Formation and Properties of Bulk Metallic Glasses

  • Na Chen,
  • Laura Martin,
  • Dmitri V. Luzguine-Luzgin and
  • Akihisa Inoue

21 December 2010

Alloying addition, as a means of improving mechanical properties and saving on costs of materials, has been applied to a broad range of uses and products in the metallurgical fields. In the field of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), alloying additions ha...

Fabrication of Large Area Fishnet Optical Metamaterial Structures Operational at Near-IR Wavelengths

  • Neilanjan Dutta,
  • Iftekhar O. Mirza,
  • Shouyuan Shi and
  • Dennis W. Prather

15 December 2010

In this paper, we demonstrate a fabrication process for large area (2 mm × 2 mm) fishnet metamaterial structures for near IR wavelengths. This process involves: (a) defining a sacrificial Si template structure onto a quartz wafer using deep-UV lithog...
