Article Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) waveguide model is applied in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography simulations. The 3D waveguide model is equivalent to rigorous coupled-wave analysis, but fewer field components are used to solve Maxwell's equations. The 3D waveguide model uses two components of vector potential, and , corresponding to the two polarizations. The electric field of the polarization is approximately parallel to the axis, and the electric field of the polarization is approximately parallel to the axis. The 3D waveguide model solves a coupled vector wave equation for two polarizations. The refractive index of conventional EUV absorbers is close to that of vacuum. The weakly guiding approximation in optical fiber theory is applied to the 3D waveguide model. The coupled vector wave equations for the two polarizations are decoupled into two independent scalar wave equations. Maxwell's equations are simplified to a set of scalar wave equations. The weakly guiding approximation reduces the computation time to solve the equations. The computation time required to solve the weakly guiding approximation is about 1/5 of the time to solve the original 3D waveguide model.

This study explores the acoustic behavior of flexible cylindrical shells incorporating membrane discs at structural interfaces, focusing on their influence on wave propagation characteristics. The dynamics of the embedded membrane discs are modeled at the junctions between different shell segments, and the resulting boundary value problem is addressed using a combination of the Mode-Matching (MM) and Galerkin methods. The governing equations comprise the Helmholtz equation in the fluid domain and the Donnell-Mushtari shell equations in the elastic guiding regions.

Monitoring of CO is crucial because of its profound impact on both environmental and human health. A novel highly sensitive refractive index (RI) sensor, utilizing a double-slot microring resonating structure, has been designed and numerically assessed for the sensitive detection of gas media. The structure consisted of a circular microring resonator nested in a racetrack resonating configuration mimicking the structure of an eye-shaped microring resonator (ESMRR).

Phosphate and nitrite, two essential nutrients in marine ecosystems, exhibit dynamic concentration distributions due to complex biogeochemical processes. Accurate quantification of these nutrients requires analytical methods with both high sensitivity and a broad dynamic range. Here, we present an automated syringe pump-based analyzer coupled with a long pathlength liquid waveguide capillary cell (LWCC), incorporating a robust automated dilution program, for simultaneous determination of phosphate and nitrite in seawater across nanomolar and micromolar concentrations.

This paper presents the novel design of a printed, low-cost, dual-port, and dual-polarized slot antenna for microwave biomedical radars. The butterfly shape of the radiating element, with orthogonally positioned arms, enables simultaneous radiation of both vertically and horizontally polarized waves. The antenna is intended for full-duplex in-band applications using two mutually isolated antenna ports, with the CPW port on the same side of the substrate as the slot antenna and the microstrip port positioned orthogonally on the other side of the substrate.

The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S1) protein facilitates viral entry through binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), but it also contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif that may enable interactions with RGD-binding integrins on ACE2-negative cells. Here, we provide quantitative evidence for this alternative binding pathway using a live-cell, label-free resonant waveguide grating (RWG) biosensor. RWG technology allowed us to monitor real-time adhesion kinetics of live cells to RGD-displaying substrates, as well as cell adhesion to S1-coated surfaces.
