A high transmission wave-guide wire network made by self-assembly.

چکیده
Polymer self-assembly of a 3D continuous gyroid morphology was replicated into a network consisting of hollow gold struts. This was achieved by first replicating a gyroid structured film into nickel. The Ni network was employed as an electrode for electrochemical Au deposition, followed by the removal of Ni. The resulting hollow network of plasmonic gold exhibited a substantial optical transmission enhancement by a factor of nearly 3, compared to a network of full Au struts. The overall transmission across the hollow wave-guide morphology depends sensitively on the wall-thickness of the hollow struts down to 1 nm. The dramatic transmission increase arises from an interplay of three mechanisms: (1) the additional number of modes propagating through the wave-guide structure, (2) the increased efficiency of light in-coupling, and (3) a reduction of dissipation by decreasing the Au-volume experienced in plasmon mode propagation.

Simulation of Surface Plasmon Excitation in a Plasmonic Nano-Wire Using Surface Integral Equations
In this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. First, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on Stratton-Cho surface integral equations. Then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. It is shown that in scatter...

In this paper, we report the development of a new type of hot-wire anemometer (HWA) realized by using a microfabrication process that combines surface micromachining and an efficient three-dimensional assembly technique. The HWA uses a thermal element (hot wire) that is made of Pt/Ni/Pt film with a measured temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 2400 ppm/ C. The thermal element is eleva...

Breakage of DHS guide wire during surgery and its migration into the pelvis through the hip joint is a rare complication and its removal can be very challenging for the surgeon. We share our experience of a similar case wherein we used an ‘iliofemoral’ approach to successfully remove the broken transfixing guidewire from the hip joint. Although iliofemoral approach is similar to the lateral win...
