Novel graphene-based tunable plasmonic metamaterials featuring single and multiple transparency windows are numerically studied in this paper. The designed structures consist of a graphene layer perforated with quadrupole slot structures and dolmen-like slot structures printed on a substrate. Specifically, the graphene-based quadrupole slot structure can realize a single transparency window, wh...

OBJECTIVE The coefficients of friction (COFs) of aesthetic ceramic and stainless steel brackets used in conjunction with stainless steel archwires were investigated using a modified linear tribometer and special computer software, and the effects of the bracket slot size (0.018 inches [in] or 0.022 in) and materials (ceramic or metal) on the COF were determined. METHODS Four types of ceramic ...

numerical study has been carried out for slot air jet impingement cooling of horizontal concentric circular cylinders. the slot air jet is situated at the symmetry line of a horizontal cylinder along the gravity vector and impinges to the bottom of the outer cylinder which is designated as θ=0°. the outer cylinder is partially opened at the top with width of w=30mm and is kept at constant tempe...

This paper presents a computational investigation of a tangential slot blowing conccpt for generating lateral control forces on an aircraft fuselage forcbody. The effects of varying both the jet width and jet exit velocity for a fixed location slot are analyzed. This work is aimcd at aiding rrscarchcrs in designing future experimental and compm tational models of tangential slot blowing. The pr...

In this paper a wideband dual polarized antenna is designed, manufactured and measured. Slot coupled patch antenna structure is considered in order to achieve the wideband characteristic. Although rectangular shaped slot coupled patch antennas are widely used in most of the applications, their utilization in dual polarized antenna structures is not feasible due to space limitation. For a rectan...

in this paper a new uwb textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. this work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable uwb antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. the antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

Broadband microstrip antenna is more commonly realized by cutting slot inside the patch. While designing slot cut antennas at a given frequency, slot length is taken to be either quarter wave or half wave in length. However this simpler approximation does not give closer result. In this paper, an analysis to study the effect of slot like, half U-slot and rectangular slot on the broadband respon...

A slotted-ground-plane meandered-slot resonator with multi-resonance characteristics and a compact lowpass filter (LPF) by using the resonator are demonstrated in this paper. The meandered slot provides a wideband resonator with low insertion loss and very sharp cutoff frequency response. Unlike conventional design of cascading bandstop slotted-ground-plane resonators in the literature, the int...

A novel dielectric slot waveguide supporting strongly confined field in a T-shaped low-index slot region for both TE and TM polarizations is proposed and analyzed. Numerical simulations have demonstrated that quite different birefringent modal properties are achievable with tight optical confinement in the slot by tuning key geometrical parameters of the waveguide. Based on such a slot structur...
