Optimization of s-Polarization Sensitivity in Apertureless Near-Field Optical Microscopy by Yuika Saito, Yoshiro Ohashi, Prabhat Verma

“…In this paper, we have examined the s-polarization enhancement sensitivity of near-field probes by measuring and evaluating the near-field Rayleigh scattering images constructed by a variety of probes. We found that the s-polarization enhancement sensitivity strongly depends on the sharpness of the apex of near-field probes. …”

The Effect of Microsized Aluminum Powder on Thermal Decomposition of HNIW (CL-20) by Xiaoxiang Mao, Chenguang Zhu, Yanchun Li, Yifan Li, Longfei Jiang, Xiaoming Wang

“…By the method of nonlinear multivariate regression, kinetic models of CL-20 and CL-20/Al were derived as fα=1−αn1+kcat⋅α, where the lgkcat of CL-20 and CL-20/Al is 1.97 and 2.12, respectively, showing that the autocatalytic ability of CL-20 had been increased by adding Al powder. From the SEM images of CL-20/Al and the XRD pattern of the decomposition residues of CL-20/Al, it can be inferred that partial combustion of Al particles happened in the microscale view and led to the release of heat.…”
