We utilize first-principles calculations within density-functional theory to investigate the possibility of strain engineering in the tuning of the band structure of two-dimensional $MoS_2$. We find that the band structure of $MoS_2$ monolayers transits from direct to indirect when mechanical strain is applied. In addition, we discuss the change in the band gap energy and the critical stains for the direct-to-indirect transition under various strains such as uniaxial, biaxial, and pure shear. Biaxial strain causes a larger change, and the pure shear stain causes a small change in the electronic band structure of the $MoS_2$ monolayer. We observe that the change in the interaction between molecular orbitals due to the mechanical strain alters the band gap type and energy.

Monolayer transition metal dicalcogenide (TMDC) materials are currently attracting extensive attention due to their distinctive electronic, transport, and optical properties. For example, monolayer $MoS_2$ exhibits a direct band gap in the visible frequency range, which makes it an attractive candidate for the photocatalytic water splitting. For the photoelectrochemical water splitting, the appropriate band edge positions that overlap with the water redox potential are necessary. Similarly, appropriate band level alignments will be crucial for the light emitting diode and photovoltaic applications utlizing heterojunctions between two TMDC materials. Carrying out first-principles calculations, we here investigate how the band edges of $MoS_2$ can be adjusted by surface ligand functionalization. This study will provide useful information for the realization of ligand-based band engineering of monolayer $MoS_2$ for various electronic, energy, and bio device applications.

We demonstrate an ultrathin metamaterial for polarization independent perfect absorption as well as a band-pass filter (BPF) which works at a higher frequency band compared to the perfect absorption band. The planar metamaterial is comprised of three layers, symmetric split ring resonators (SSRRs) at the front and structured ground plane (SGP) at the back separated by a dielectric layer. The perfect metamaterial absorber (MA) can realize near 100% absorption due to high electromagnetic losses from the electric and/or magnetic resonances within a certain frequency band. The thickness of the structure is only 1/28 of the maximum absorption wavelength.

A band stop filter is proposed with cascading unit cells that are based on a dual composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) conductorbacked coplanar waveguide. The parameters of the unit cell have been analyzed to confirm the behavior of each component for the equivalent circuit of the cell. We simulated the dispersion characteristics and energy distribution and have determined that the unit cell has a D-CRLH property. The band stop filter was implemented by symmetrically cascading two of the proposed unit cells. The experimental results for the band stop filter revealed a band rejection performance of 32 dB and a return loss of 0.35 dB in the stopband frequency range from 869MHz to 954MHz. Finally, we show that there is a good agreement in the experimental results and those obtained through the simulations.

We numerically investigate the electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under radial corrugation. Hydrostatic pressure application to CNTs leads to a circumferential wave-like deformation of their initially circular cross-sections, called radial corrugations. Tight-binding calculation was performed to determine the band gap energy as a function of the amplitude of the radial corrugation. We found that the band gap increased with increasing radial corrugation amplitude; then, the gap started to decline at a critical amplitude and finally vanished. This non-monotonic gap variation indicated the metal-semiconductor-metal transition of CNTs with increasing corrugation amplitude. Our results provide a better insight into the structure-property relation of CNTs, thus advancing the CNT-based device development.

In the proposed paper, we designed low noise frequency synthesizer with compact size for Multi-Band. The proposed frequency synthesizer consists of fundamental frequency band(2 GHz) and harmonic frequency band(4 GHz). To improve the phase noise and spurious level of frequency synthesizer, we analyze how the configuration of frequency synthesizer affect the phase noise and design the multi-band's structure. The implemented frequency synthesizer reduce both the phase noise and spurious level. The phase noise is -92.17 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 2 GHz and -90.50 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 4 GHz. All spurious signals including fundamental frequency are suppressed at least 20 dBc than the second harmonic frequency.

The UCERSS algorithm is an extended MUSIC which is used to estimate incident angles of multiple wide band signals. The purpose of this paper is to extend the UCERSS in order to estimate the direction of arrivals of multiple wide band signals in multipath environment. The modifications of the UCERSS result in the wide band spatial smoothing and the UNSS approaches. Computer simulation results indicate that the performances of the UNSS are superior to those of the UCERSS and the wide band spatial smoothing method.

In grain oriented electrical steel process, hot band annealing has thought to be essential for obtaining good magnetic properties. New hot rolling method of heavy reduction in early hot rolling stage was applied to obtain good magnetic properties in GO process without hot band annealing. Hot rolling was carried out by varyinghot rolling reduction distribution along hot rolling pass. The heavy hot rolling reduction in rear stand improves the magnetic flux density in the case of no hot band annealing. The hot band specimens of the heavy reduction in front stand shows the elongated hot deformed microstructures in the center layer and strong {001}<110> texture.On the contrary, the heavily reduced specimens in rear stand shows the recrystallization in the center layer of hot band and strong {111}<112> and {110}<001> textures.

MgO nanorods were fabricated by the thermal evaporation of $Mg_3N_2$. The influence of ZnO sheathing and hydrogen plasma exposure on the photoluminescence (PL) of the MgO nanorods was studied. PL measurements of the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods showed two main emission bands: the near band edge emission band centered at ~380 nm and the deep level emission band centered at ~590 nm both of which are characteristic of ZnO. The near band edge emission from the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods was enhanced with increasing the ZnO shell layer thickness. The near band edge emission from the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods appeared to be enhanced further by hydrogen plasma irradiation. The underlying mechanisms for the enhancement of the NBE emission from the MgO nanorods by ZnO sheathing and hydrogen plasma exposure are discussed.
