Second-Harmonic Generation in Membrane-Type Nonlinear Acoustic Metamaterials

  • Jiangyi Zhang,
  • Vicente Romero-García,
  • Georgios Theocharis,
  • Olivier Richoux,
  • Vassos Achilleos and
  • Dimitris J. Frantzeskakis

A Novel Approach to Quantitatively Assess the Uniformity of Binary Colloidal Crystal Assemblies

  • Peter Koegler,
  • Michelle Dunn,
  • Peng-Yuan Wang,
  • Helmut Thissen and
  • Peter Kingshott

26 July 2016

Colloidal self-assembly into highly ordered binary systems represents a versatile and inexpensive approach to generate well defined surface topographical features with submicron resolution. In addition, the use of surface-functionalized particles whe...
