We show that a metal-dielectric-metal structure can function as negative refraction lens for surface plasmon waves on metal surface. The is uniform with respect to plane of incidence and operates at the optical frequency range. Using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations, we demonstrate imaging operation realistic material parameters including dispersions losses. Our design should facilitate demonstration many novel effects associated chip wavelength ranges. In...
The construction of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL), a 0.1-nm hard free-electron laser (FEL) facility based on 10-GeV S-band linear accelerator (LINAC), is achieved in Pohang, Korea by the end 2016. 1.11 km-long building was completed 2014, and installation LINAC undulators started January 2015. LINAC, together with beamlines, commissioning began April 2016, first lasing FEL line 14 June progress PAL-XFEL its commission are reported here.
We show that a planar metallic microcavity structure can exhibit an omnidirectional resonance, i.e., resonance for which the wavelength is independent of incidence angle light. The consists metal–dielectric–metal configuration. occurs when reflection phase shift cancels propagation shift. numerically demonstrate such in Ag–SiO2–Ag with realistic material parameters. Such omnidirectionally resonant structures are important all-angle efficiency enhancement light emitting diodes and photodetectors.
The consumer drone market is booming. Consumer drones are predominantly used for aerial photography; however, their use has been expanding because of autopilot technology. Unfortunately, terrorists have also begun to kamikaze bombing and reconnaissance. To protect against such threats, several companies started “anti-drone” services that primarily focus on disrupting or incapacitating operations. However, the approaches employed inadequate, they make any intruded stop remain over protected...
Over the last six years, several papers demonstrated how intentional analog interference based on acoustics, RF, lasers, and other physical modalities could induce faults, influence, or even control output of sensors. Damage to availability integrity sensor carries significant risks safety-critical systems that make automated decisions trusted measurement. Established signal processing models use transfer functions express reliability dependability characteristics sensors, but existing do...
We analyze subwavelength cylindrical holes in an optically thick metallic film with the metal described by a plasmonic model. find that dispersion diagram exhibits three distinct features have profound impact on transmission of incident light through holes. First, such always support propagating modes near surface plasmon frequency, regardless how small are. Second, fundamental mode $({\mathrm{HE}}_{11})$ is located completely below frequency and gives rise to passband spectrum. Third, when...
We have achieved heteroepitaxial stacking of a van der Waals (vdW) monolayer metal, 1T'-WTe2, and semiconductor, 2H-WSe2, in which distinctively low contact barrier was established across clean epitaxial vdW gap.

In comparison with series planar metal contacts, our to possess intrinsic Schottky heights below 100 meV for both electron hole injections,...
We calculate the guided band diagram of a metallic film with one-dimensional periodic arrangement cut-through subwavelength slits. find that this system supports two distinct types modes propagating in direction perpendicular to slits when metal obeys plasmonic dispersion model. The first type is well-known surface mode. second results from presence electromagnetic resonance inside and closely resembles waveguide dielectric slab. refer them as effective slab modes. show how behavior both...
The authors numerically demonstrate all-angle negative refraction for propagating waves, as well evanescent wave amplifications, using a one-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of metal-dielectric multilayers. Their structure has uniform surfaces parallel to the object plane and operates at visible wavelength range. Using realistic material parameters including loss, they design Ag–Si3N4 multilayer verified its subwavelength resolution in image formation process.

Resonant elastic x-ray scattering has been widely employed for exploring complex electronic ordering phenomena, such as charge, spin, and orbital order, in particular, strongly correlated systems. In addition, recent developments pump–probe allow us to expand the investigation of temporal dynamics orders. Here, we introduce a new time-resolved Soft X-ray Scattering (tr-RSXS) endstation developed at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL). This an optical laser...

IEEE 802.15.4 is widely used as lower layers for not only wellknown wireless communication standards such ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, and WirelessHART, but also customized protocols developed by manufacturers, particularly various Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Customized are usually publicly disclosed nor standardized. Moreover, unlike textual (e.g., HTTP, SMTP, POP3.), IoT devices provide no clues strings or keywords that useful analysis. Instead, they use bits bytes to represent header body...
