The control of photons by field effects, like the gating of electrons, can revolutionize a wide range of fields by enabling active photonic devices whose...
This paper examines the pressure-dependent gas permeability as measured using a falling head gas permeameter. A series of experiments were performed on mortars...

Advances in roll-to-roll processing of graphene [1] and carbon nanotube [2] have at last led to the continuous production of high-quality coatings and filaments...
The recently developed Flory-Huggins (FH) type general theory for competitive solvation of polymers by two mixed solvents is extended to explain phase...
Bowyer and Ortiz, in their paper "A Critical Examination of the IREX VI Results", make seven criticisms of our application of linear mixed-effects models to...

The relationships among charge order, spin fluctuations, and superconductivity in underdoped cuprates remain controversial. We use neutron scattering techniques...
Photons are not conserved in interactions with other matter. Consequently, when understanding the equation of state and thermodynamics of photons, while we have...

A metrology and data analysis protocol is described for high throughput construction of thermochromic metal-insulator phase diagrams for lightly substituted VO2...
This article describes an apparatus and method for measuring vapor pressures in the range from 1 Pa to 10^5 Pa. Its three distinctive elements are: (1) the...
The static method for measuring vapor pressure assumes that the sample is pure and that its temperature is steady and uniform. In practice, the measured...
