Organic molecules characterized by high-spin ground states are of interest for many reasons, including their potential use as spin reservoirs in ferromagnetic organic materials. For the design of high-spin organic molecules having an even number of electrons, one typically tries to take advantage of Hund’s rule 4 in constructing systems biased towards having triplet ground states. That is, one ...

One-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhCs) have a unique ability to control the propagation of light waves, however certain classes 1D oxides remain relatively unexplored for use as PhCs. Specifically, there has not been comparative study three different PhC structures compare influence layer thickness, number, and refractive index on PhCs transmission. Herein, we transfer matrix method (TMM) ...

Existing investigations on imperfect phononic crystal beams mainly concern periodic multi-span beams carrying either one or two channel waves with random or deterministic disorder in span-length. This paper studies the two channel bending waves in phononic crystal beams consisting of many phases of materials with defects introduced as one structural segment having different cross-sectional dime...

We study the localization properties of generalized two- and three-dimensional Lieb lattices, L2(n) L3(n), n=1,2,3 4, at energies corresponding to flat dispersive bands using transfer matrix method (TMM) finite size scaling (FSS). find that are different from in for all Ld(n). For d=3 dimensional case, states extended disorders W down W=0.01t bands, indicating disorder can lift degeneracy quick...

Abstract Perfect absorbers (PAs) at near infrared allow various applications such as biosensors, nonlinear optics, color filters, thermal emitters and so on. These PAs, enabled by plasmonic resonance, are typically powerful compact, but confront inherent challenges of narrow bandwidth, polarization dependence, limited incident angles well requires using expensive lithographic process, which lim...

Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) are one of the most important monooxygenase systems in Eukaryotes and have many important physiological functions. FMOs have also been found in bacteria; however, their physiological function is not known. Here, we report the identification and characterization of trimethylamine (TMA) monooxygenase, termed Tmm, from Methylocella silvestris, using a combin...

Accurate prediction of dispersion curves for ultrasonic guided waves propagation in multi-layered composite laminates is crucial the deployment nondestructive testing procedures and structural health monitoring algorithms dedicated to aerospace materials. However, existing efforts mainly focused on finding ways build complex-valued equations (see transfer matrix method (TMM), global (GMM) stiff...

We address the problem of robust formant tracking in continuous speech. We propose the robust statistical model of t-distribution mixture density (tMM) operating on the “pyknogram” obtained through a multiband AM-FM demodulation technique. The statistical model of the pyknogram is shown to be more-effective to handle the variability in the signal processing stage. The t-mixture density estimati...
