We consider the optical properties of finite systems composed of a series of graphene sheets separated by thin dielectric layers. Because these systems respond as conductors to electric fields in the plane of the graphene sheets and as insulators to perpendicular electric fields, they can be expected to have properties similar to those of hyperbolic metamaterials. We show that under typical experimental conditions graphene/dielectric multilayers have enhanced Purcell factors, and enhanced photonic densities of states in both the terahertz (THz) and midinfrared (mid-IR) frequency range. These behaviors can be traced to the coupled plasmon modes of the multilayer graphene system. We show that these results can be obtained with just a few layers of graphene.

Transition metal di-chalcogenides MX2 (X= S, Se, Te; and M = W, Mo, Nb, Ta) are one kind of solid lubricant materials that have been widely used in industry. The lubricant properties of such lubricant coatings are dependent not only on microstructure, orientation, morphology, and composition of the coatings, but also on the substrate, the interface between substrate and lubricant coatings, and the specific application environment. In this review, the effects of parameters on tribological properties of such kind of lubricant coatings were summarized. By comparing advantages and disadvantages of those coatings, the special treatments such as doping, structural modulation and post-treatment were suggested, aiming to improve the tribologicai performance under severe test conditions (e.g. high temperature, oxidizing atmosphere or humid condition).

We have studied the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature Tc of the filled skutterudite YFe4P12 under various quasihydrostatic pressures up to 8 GPa. DC magnetization measurements up to 1.2 GPa in a piston-cylinder cell yields a linear increase of Tc with a positive coefficient dTc/dP = 1 K/GPa. Resistivity measurements up to 8 GPa in a cubic anvil apparatus show that Tc increases to 9.3 K at 8 GPa, but the slope decreases gradually with increasing pressure. Besides the previously reported LaFe4P12, YFe4P12 becomes the second filled skutterudite superconductor that exhibits a positive pressure coefficient dTc/dP in a broad pressure range. The observed large dTc/dP > 0 of YFe4P12 can be rationalized by our band-structure calculations that show an enhancement of density of states at Fermi energy and the Hopfield parameter under pressure at least up to 8 GPa. On the other hand, similar calculations predict a dTc/dP < 0 for YRu4P12.

We experimentally demonstrate group synchrony in a network of four nonlinear optoelectronic oscillators with time-delayed coupling. We divide the nodes into two groups of two each, by giving each group different parameters and by enabling only intergroup coupling. When coupled in this fashion, the two groups display different dynamics, with no isochronal synchrony between them, but the nodes in a single group are isochronally synchronized, even though there is no intragroup coupling. We compare experimental behavior with theoretical and numerical results.
