Article Abstract
This paper presents a review of the authors' research on the radar cross section (RCS) of two canonical waveguide cavities. A rigorous RCS analysis is carried out using the Wiener-Hopf technique for the two-dimensional cavities formed by a terminated, semi-infinite parallel-plate waveguide with three-layer material loading (cavity I) and a terminated, finite parallel-plate waveguide with three-layer material loading (cavity II). Both - and -polarizations are considered. Taking the Fourier transform of the unknown scattered field and applying boundary conditions in the transform domain, these problems are formulated in terms of the simultaneous Wiener-Hopf equations. The Wiener-Hopf equations are solved via application of the factorization and decomposition procedure, leading to exact and approximate solutions. Taking the inverse Fourier transform of the solution in the complex domain, a scattered field in the real space is explicitly derived. For the region inside the cavity, the scattered field is expressed in terms of the waveguide modes, whereas for the region outside the cavity, a scattered far field is derived using the saddle point method. Numerical examples on the RCS are presented for various physical parameters, and far-field scattering characteristics of the cavities are discussed in detail.This article is part of the theme issue 'Analytically grounded full-wave methods for advances in computational electromagnetics'.

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of nanostructured Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films combining the conjugated copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PDOF--PEDOT) with spherical and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The LB technique allowed precise control over the molecular arrangement and distribution of the nanoparticles at the air-water interface, resulting in compact, reproducible and structurally ordered nanocomposite films. The structural and morphological properties of the interfacial monolayers and LB films were investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and quartz crystal microbalance.

The study of the self-assembly of surfactants in aqueous solutions, though a traditional field, remains fascinating and full of novelty. In this article, the anionic perfluorodecanoic acid surfactant (PFA) is separately complexed with three hydroxyalkylamines (monoethanolamine (MEA), diethylamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA)) in aqueous solutions. The transformation of aggregate morphologies from spherical unilamellar to nanotubes and then to spherical bilamellar is observed at room temperature, which is confirmed by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM).

In ultrasound imaging, propagation of an acoustic wavefront through heterogeneous media causes phase aberrations that degrade the coherence of the reflected wavefront, leading to reduced image resolution and contrast. Adaptive imaging techniques attempt to correct this phase aberration and restore coherence, leading to improved focusing of the image. We propose an autofocusing paradigm for aberration correction in ultrasound imaging by fitting an acoustic velocity field to pressure measurements, via optimization of the common midpoint phase error (CMPE), using a straight-ray wave propagation model for beamforming in diffusely scattering media.

The exclusive formation of artificial multicomponent assemblies remains a significant challenge, in contrast to the well-established organization observed in natural systems, due to intrinsic entropic constraints. To overcome this limitation, recent efforts have been focused on developing precision self-assembly strategies for the rational construction of such architectures. Here, we construct an ideal complementary pair of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy)-based ligands by fine-tuning the substituent bulkiness, which enables the quantitative formation of robust nested cages through efficient dynamic heteroleptic complexation with multivalent coordination.
