Abstract: Devices are disclosed for obtaining data of a sample, particularly data capable of being processed to produce an image of a region of the sample. An exemplary device includes a light-beam source, an acoustic-wave source, an optical element, and an acoustic detector. The optical element is transmissive to a light beam produced by the light-beam source and reflective to acoustic waves produced by the acoustic-wave source. The optical element is situated to direct the transmitted light beam and reflected acoustic wave simultaneously along an optical axis to be incident at a situs in or on a sample to cause the sample to produce acoustic echoes from the incident acoustic waves while also producing photoacoustic waves from the incident light beam photoacoustically interacting with the situs. The acoustic detector is placed to receive and detect the acoustic echoes and the photoacoustic waves from the situs. The acoustic detector can comprise one or more hydrophones exploiting the acousto-electric effect.

Abstract: Composites, designed "MNPC" materials, are formed by methods of which an exemplary method includes preparing a liquid suspension of magnetic nanoparticles in a carrier liquid in which the nanoparticles are not soluble. The carrier liquid can form a rigid polymer matrix for the nanoparticles whenever the carrier liquid is exposed to a rigidification condition. A first rigidification condition is applied to the suspension to rigidify the carrier liquid into the polymer matrix and thus form a rigid MNPC material. A fluidizing condition is applied to the rigid MNPC material to fluidize the matrix and allow movement of the nanoparticles in the matrix. While the matrix is fluid, the MNPC material is magnetically poled by exposure to an external magnetic field. Poling aligns at least some of the nanoparticles with the field and allows at least some particles to self-assemble with each other. While continuing the magnetic poling, a second rigidification condition is applied to the MNPC material to freeze further movement of the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. The produced materials have enhanced properties including magneto-optical properties.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for synthesizing nanocomposite materials including ferromagnetic nanoparticles with polymer shells formed by controlled surface polymerization. The polymer shells prevent the nanoparticles from forming agglomerates and preserve the size dispersion of the nanoparticles. The nanocomposite particles can be further networked in suitable polymer hosts to tune mechanical, optical, and thermal properties of the final composite polymer system. An exemplary method includes forming a polymer shell on a nanoparticle surface by adding molecules of at least one monomer and optionally of at least one tethering agent to the nanoparticles, and then exposing to electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength selected to induce bonding between the nanoparticle and the molecules, to form a polymer shell bonded to the particle and optionally to a polymer host matrix. The nanocomposite materials can be used in various magneto-optic applications.
