Dual-band topological Bott insulators in Ammann–Beenker-tiling square photonic quasicrystals by Yingfang Zhang, Zhihao Lan, Weicheng Chen, Jianqing Li

“…In this work, we study topological states in Ammann–Beenker-tiling photonic quasicrystals made of magneto-optical materials. While conventional topological states in photonic systems with crystalline symmetry are characterized by topological invariants associated with bulk Bloch bands in momentum space, photonic systems in quasicrystal geometries typically lack exact periodicity and translational symmetry. …”

Atmospheric pressure plasma synthesis of adaptable coatings based on castor oil urethane dimethacrylate and their properties by Eusebiu-Rosini Ionita, Maria-Daniela Ionita, Antoniu Moldovan, Cristina Surdu-Bob, Violeta Melinte, Andreea L. Chibac-Scutaru, Andrada Lazea-Stoyanova

“…Urethane-dimethacrylate polymers are generated using light energy, in the presence of photoinitiators, and are the choice materials for many composite materials, biomaterials, optical materials or coatings. In this study, we present an alternative, new, synthesis method for castor oil polymethacrylate (CO-PMA) films by exposure of a liquid precursor (namely castor oil urethane dimethacrylate (CO-UDMA)) to a non-thermal atmospheric pressure cylindrical plasma source. …”
