Owing to its excellent electrical, mechanical, thermal and optical
properties, graphene has attracted great interests since it was successfully
exfoliated in 2004. Its two dimensional nature and superior properties meet the
need of surface plasmons and greatly enrich the field of plasmonics. Recent
progress and applications of graphene plasmonics will be reviewed, including
the theoretical mechanisms, experimental observations, and meaningful
applications. With relatively low loss, high confinement, flexible feature, and
good tunability, graphene can be a promising plasmonic material alternative to
the noble metals. Optics transformation, plasmonic metamaterials, light
harvesting etc. are realized in graphene based devices, which are useful for
applications in electronics, optics, energy storage, THz technology and so on.
Moreover, the fine biocompatibility of graphene makes it a very well candidate
for applications in biotechnology and medical science.Comment: 84 pages, 26 figures, 5 tables. To appear in Mat.Sci.Eng.
Epitaxially grown ultrathin organic semiconductors on graphene show great promise as highly efficient phototransistors. The devices exhibit a strong photoresponse down to the limit of a monolayer organic crystal, with a photoresponsivity higher than 10(4) A W(-1) and a photoconductive gain over 10(8) . The excellent performance is attributed to the high quality of the organic crystal and interface, a unique feature of van der Waals epitaxy.
This study systematically analyzes the factors that affect consumers’ green purchase intention. Through a comprehensive literature review, the influencing factors of consumers’ green purchase intention are organized into three categories: cognitive factors, consumer individual characteristics, and social factors. Next, a meta-analysis of 54 empirical papers was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 software to quantitatively assess these relationships. The results revealed that green perceived value, attitude, and green trust have a significant positive influence on green purchase intention. Perceived behavior control, perceived consumer effectiveness, and subjective norm also has a strong positive impact on green purchase intention. Collectivism has a positive effect on green purchase intention. Green perceived risk has a significant negative impact on green purchase intention. The study’s findings provide references for enterprises engaged in green product diffusion and organizations responsible for environmental protection.
The phenomenon of stochastic resonance in a bistable nonlinear system is investigated when both the multiplicative noise and the coupling between additive and multiplicative noise are colored with different values of noise correlation time tau(1) and tau(2). Combining the functional analysis and unified colored noise approximation, the two different kinds of colored noise in the nonlinear system can be simplified. The signal-to-noise ratio is calculated when a weakly periodic signal is added to the system. It is found that there appears a transition between one peak and two peaks in the curve of the signal-to-noise ratio when either the noise correlation time tau(1) and tau(2) or the coupling strength lambda between additive and multiplicative noise is increased. The transition between one and two peaks depending on tau(1) and lambda is more complex than that depending on tau(2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
