Abstract: The document discloses transferrable hyperbolic metamaterial particles (THMMP) that display broadband, selective, omnidirectional absorption and can be transferred to secondary substrates, allowing enhanced flexibility and selective transmission. A device having metamaterial nanostructures includes a substrate and metamaterial nanostructures engaged to the substrate to form an optical layer to interact with light incident to the optical layer to exhibit optical reflection or absorption or transmission that is substantially uniform over a spectral range of different optical wavelengths associated with materials and structural features of the metamaterial nanostructures, each metamaterial nanostructure including different material layers that are interleaved to form a multi-layer nanostructure.

Abstract: A cobalt-containing phosphate material can comprise lithium (Li) (or, alternatively or additionally other alkali metal(s)), cobalt (Co), phosphate (PO4), and at least two additional metals other than Li and Co (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides), and can have a molar ratio of Co to a total amount of Co and the additional metals (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides) of at least 0.2, at least 0.3, at least 0.5, at least 0.7, or at least about 0.75. The cobalt-containing phosphate material can have a molar ratio of Co to a total amount of Co and the additional metals (e.g., as dopants and/or metal oxides) ranging from 0.2 to 0.98, from 0.3 to 0.98, from 0.3 to 0.94, from 0.5 to 0.98, from 0.5 to 0.94, or alternatively from 0.5 to 0.9, from 0.7 to 0.9, or from 0.75 to 0.85.

Abstract: A method of preparing a boron-nitrogen compound includes combining an ammonium salt and an ionic compound in the absence of solvent to form a mixture. The ionic compound includes a cation and an anion. The anion is represented by the general formula B(R1)4?, wherein each R1 is independently selected from the group of hydrogen, alkyl groups, aryl groups, and combinations thereof. The method also includes agitating the mixture in the absence of solvent to form a reaction product, and separating the boron-nitrogen compound from the reaction product.
