Wakefield driven by Gaussian (1,0) mode laser pulse and laser-plasma electron acceleration
An ultraintense Gaussian (1,0) mode pulsed laser applied to laser-plasma electron acceleration is investigated based on 2.5-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation (PIC). It has been found that Gaussi...

Self-organization of polymer nanoneedles into large-area ordered flowerlike arrays
Combination of top-down and bottom-up process is crucial for fabricating ordered complex micronanostructures. Here we report a simple, rapid, and versatile approach to demonstrate this useful concept,...

Microassembly based on origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, presents an attractive methodology for constructing complex three-dimensional (3D) devices and advanced materials. A variety of functional structures have been created using patterned metallic, semiconducting, and polymeric thin films, but have been limited to those that curve in a single direction. We report a design framework that can be used to achieve spontaneous bidirectional folds with any desired angle, and we demonstrate theoretical and experimental realizations of complex 3D structures with +90°, −90°, +180°, and −180° folds. The strategy is parallel, versatile, and compatible with conventional microfabrication. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
