The synthesis and characterization of novel micellar nanohybrids with controllable sizes consisting of palladium nanosized core and covered by well-defined poly(lauryl methacrylate)-block-poly(2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate) (pLauMA-b-pAEMA) diblock copolymers are reported. Their nonlinear optical (NLO) response (i.e. nonlinear refraction and absorption and the third-order susceptibility χ(3)) is also studied under 35 ps laser excitation both in the visible and in the infrared and found to be insensitive to the size of the micelles while it was found to be greatly affected by the molar fraction of the AEMA block. To the best of our knowledge it is the first time that such Pd micellar nanohybrids are synthesized and investigated towards their NLO properties. The magnitude of the nonlinear optical response of these nanohybrids renders them promising candidates for potential optoelectronic applications. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Finite-dimensional nonlinear output feedback dynamic games and bounds for sector nonlinearities
Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Elliott, R. J. (1999)In general, nonlinear output feedback dynamic games are infinite-dimensional. This paper treats a class of minimax games when the nonlinearities enter the dynamics of the unobservable states. An information state approach ...

Numerical investigation of the nonlinear heat diffusion equation with high nonlinearity on the boundary
Christou, Marios Andreas; Sophocleous, Christodoulos; Christov, Christo I. (2008)A nonlinear heat diffusion problem is considered when the thermal conductivity and heat capacity are nonlinear functions of the temperature. At one of the boundaries a highly nonlinear condition is imposed involving both ...
