An experimental investigation of sub-wavelength imaging by a wire medium slab is performed. A complex-shaped near field source is used in order to test imaging performance of the device. It is demonstrated that the ultimate bandwidth of operation of the constructed imaging device is 4.5% that coincides with theoretical predictions [Phys. Rev. E 73, 056607 (2006)]. Within this band the wire medium slab is capable of transmitting images with lambda/15 resolution irrespectively of the shape and complexity of the source. Actual bandwidth of operation for particular near-field sources can be larger than the ultimate value but it strongly depends on the configuration of the source.

Evanescent wave amplification is observed, for the first time to our knowledge, inside a half-wavelength-thick wire medium slab used for subwavelength imaging. The wire medium is analyzed using both a spatially dispersive finite-difference time-domai
n (FDTD) method and a full-wave commercial electromagnetic simulator CST Microwave Studio. In this work we demonstrate that subwavelength details of a source placed at a distance of one-tenth of a wavelength from a wire medium slab can be detected inside the slab with a resolution of approximately one-tenth of a wavelength in spite of the fact that they cannot be resolved at the front interface of the device, due to the rapid decay of evanescent spatial harmonics in free space.
We study the guided modes in the wire medium slab taking into account both the nonlocality and losses in the structure. We show that due to the fact that the wire medium is an extremeley spatially dispersive metamaterial, the effect of nonlocality pl
ays a critical role since it results in coupling between the otherwise orthogonal guided modes. We observe both the effects of strong and weak coupling, depending on the level of losses in the system.
An approach based on He scattering is used to develop an atomic-level structural model for an epitaxially grown disordered sub-monolayer of Ag on Pt(111) at 38K. Quantum scattering calculations are used to fit structural models to the measured angula
r intensity distribution of He atoms scattered from this system. The structure obtained corresponds to narrowly size-dispersed compact clusters with modest translational disorder, and not to fractals which might be expected due to the low surface temperature. The clusters have up to two layers in height, the lower one having few defects only. The relations between specific features of the angular scattering distribution, and properties such as the cluster sizes and shapes, the inter-cluster distance distribution etc., are discussed. The results demonstrate the usefulness of He scattering as a tool for unraveling new complex surface phases.
We demonstrate that an array of metallic nanorods enables sub-wavelength (near-field) imaging at infrared frequencies. Using an homogenization approach, it is theoretically proved that under certain conditions the incoming radiation can be transmitte
d by the array of nanorods over a significant distance with fairly low attenuation. The propagation mechanism does not involve a resonance of material parameters and thus the resolution is not strongly affected by material losses and has wide bandwidth. The sub-wavelength imaging with $lambda/10$ resolution by silver rods at 30 THz is demonstrated numerically using full-wave electromagnetic simulator.
Wire-feed laser additive manufacturing is an emerging fabrication technique capable of highly automated large-scale volume production that can reduce both material waste and overall cost while improving product lead times. Quality assurance is necess
ary for implementation into critical structural applications. However, the large number of process variables along with the cost associated with traditional trial and error methods makes this difficult. This study investigates a comprehensive quality framework based on learning from experimental data that will enable improved quality control along with consistent microstructural features of the part. Specifically, a comprehensive experimental data across multiple process variables and output characteristics in terms of overall bead quality, geometric shape (i.g. bead height, width, fusion zone depth, etc.), and microstructural features are collected. The predicted process-geometry-microstructure relations are then captured by virtue of data-driven machine learning models. The properties of printed beads are visualized based on an extensive range of processing space within a 3-dimensional contour map. The insights and impacts of process variables on bead morphology, geometric and microstructural features are comprehensively investigated for quality improvement during manufacturing processes.
