Self-Assembled BaTiO-AuAg Low-Loss Hybrid Plasmonic Metamaterials with an Ordered "Nano-Domino-like" Microstructure.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
February 2021
Article Synopsis
- Metallic plasmonic hybrid nanostructures combine different materials for enhanced physical properties, leading to potential applications in nanophotonic and electronic devices.
- The study introduces a self-assembled nanocomposite made of BaTiO (BTO) and AuAg, which was created using a templated growth method to improve loss performance and tunability.
- Characterization techniques reveal a unique "nano-domino-like" structure, and the new alloyed film shows advantages like broader plasmon resonance and reduced losses, making it suitable for advanced optical devices.
Au-Encapsulated Fe Nanorods in Oxide Matrix with Tunable Magneto-Optic Coupling Properties.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
November 2020
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are focusing on materials with magneto-optic coupling for applications in spintronics, optical switches, and sensors.
- A new three-phase hybrid material (Au-Fe-LaSrFeO) has been developed, integrating the ferromagnetic properties of Fe, plasmonic properties of Au, and the dielectric characteristics of LSFO.
- This innovative material features Au-encapsulated Fe nanopillars and demonstrates unique properties such as optical anisotropy, magnetic anisotropy, and room-temperature magneto-optic Kerr effects, showcasing potential for future complex VAN systems.
Survival for cancer patients is usually only reported as survival from time of diagnosis. For patients who survive 1 or more years after diagnosis, however, survival probability changes over time and is more accurately depicted by conditional survival. The specific aim of this project was to build a survival regression model and Web-based tool to make individualized estimates of conditional survival for patients with head and neck cancer based on tumor and patient characteristics.

Objectives: Given that the sensation of pruritus is transmitted mainly by thin, unmyelinated epidermal nerves, the aim of our study was to investigate the intraepidermal nerve fibre (IENF) density.
Background: For rectal cancer patients who have already survived a period of time after diagnosis, survival probability changes and is more accurately depicted by conditional survival. The specific aim of this study was to develop an interactive tool for individualized estimation of changing prognosis for rectal cancer patients.
Methods: A multivariate Cox proportional hazards (CPH) survival model was constructed using data from rectal cancer patients diagnosed from 1994 to 2003 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
