We propose the concept of structured single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for the applications of heterojunction solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The structure of SWNTs was controlled and modified by a simple water vapor treatment, which was originally developed by our group. Compared with the graphene-Si solar cell and the SWNT-Si solar cell using the random-oriented SWNT ...

OBJECTIVE Originally used to describe the macroscopic appearance of various pathologic processes with multiple cysts, honeycomb lung is now the term used to describe endstage pulmonary fibrosis. The purpose of this article is to discuss the history and imaging of honeycomb lung. CONCLUSION Honeycomb lung is considered one of the important CT findings in usual interstitial pneumonia. An additi...

Sandwich structures with foldcores are regarded as a promising alternative to conventional honeycomb sandwich structures as lightweight structural materials. One of the proposed applications of foldcore sandwich structures is on the aircraft fuselage and the interstage of a rocket. While flat foldcore sandwich structures have been intensively studied in the literature, there lacks a general des...

A two-dimensional honeycomb lattice harbours a pair of inequivalent valleys in the k-space electronic structure, in the vicinities of the vertices of a hexagonal Brillouin zone, K(±). It is particularly appealing to exploit this emergent degree of freedom of charge carriers, in what is termed 'valleytronics'. The physics of valleys mimics that of spin, and will make possible devices, analogous ...

Zeolites represent inorganic solid-state materials with porous structures of fascinating complexity. Recently, significant progress was made by reticular synthesis of related organic solid-state materials, such as metal-organic or covalent organic frameworks. Herein we go a step further and report the first example of a fluid honeycomb mimicking a zeolitic framework. In this unique self-assembl...

The honeycomb lattice structure of graphene gives rise to its exceptional electronic properties of linear dispersion relation and its chiral nature of charge carriers. The exceptional electronic properties of graphene stem from linear dispersion relation and chiral nature of charge carries, originating from its honeycomb lattice structure. Here, we address the quantum Hall effect in artificiall...

Abstract. The present paper deals with the homogenization of the heat conduction which takes place in a binary three-dimensional medium consisting of an ambiental phase having conductivity of unity order and a rectangular honeycomb structure formed by a set of thin layers crossing orthogonally and periodically. We consider the case when the conductivity of the thin layers is in inverse proporti...

In a previous paper (8) an organized structure was described in the macronuclei of certain old organisms of Tokophrya infusionum. It was found that the same honeycomb structure appears in great abundance in the macronuclei of overfed organisms. This permitted a better three-dimensional reconstruction of the described structure. Since the defined structure may be experimentally induced, it offer...

Honeycomb films with various building units, showing potential applications in biological, medical, physicochemical, photoelectric, and many other areas, could be prepared by the breath figure method. The ordered hexagonal structures formed by the breath figure process are related to the building units, solvents, substrates, temperature, humidity, air flow, and other factors. Therefore, by adju...
