Lett. 45 5416(2020)]. We present a rigorous approach that allows for an analytical description of the electromagnetic processes that occur when the structure is excited by a single waveguide TM mode. In other words, the corresponding canonical waveguide diffraction problem is solved in a rigorous formulation. This is a continuation of our previous papers which considered simpler cases with a homogeneous or two-layer dielectric filling. Here we use the same analytical approach based on the Wiener–Hopf–Fock technique and deal with the more complicated case of a three-layer dielectric lining. Using the obtained rigorous solution, we discuss the possibility of manipulating the far-field radiation pattern using a third layer made of a low permittivity material.展开更多

In the case of [Rh4Cu4] cages, up to six-fold-stacked host-guest structures were formed by varying the cavity's dimensions. Moreover, the series of capsules were demonstrated to self-fine-tune to form multi-heteroguest arrays via favourable donor-acceptor interactions and Ag-π interactions, as evidenced from single-crystal X-ray analysis.展开更多

The nanotubes are naturally opened at the bottom ends. The growth mechanism of the very long and open-ended nanotubes is also discussed.展开更多
