Azoarenes remain privileged photoswitches – molecules that can be interconverted between two states using light – enabling a huge range of light addressable multifunctional systems and materials. Two key innovations to improve the addressability and Z-isomer stability of the azoarenes have been ortho-substitution of the benzene ring(s) or replacement of one of the benzenes for a pyrazole (to give arylazopyrazole switches). Here we study the combination of such high-performance features within a single switch architecture. Through computational analysis and experimental measurements of representative examples, we demonstrate that ortho-benzene substitution of the arylazopyrazoles drastically increases the Z-isomer stability and allows further tuning of their addressability. This includes the discovery of new azopyrazoles with a Z-isomer thermal half-life of ≈46 years. Such results therefore define improved designs for high performance azo switches, which will allow for high precision optically addressable applications using such components.

Abstract Development of MEMS inertial sensor packages for high performance applications cannot be accomplished by analysis alone. There are too many unknown material properties, process conditions, and assembly tolerances to make this feasible. Extensive performance evaluation of packaged sensors is also prohibitively expensive and time consuming. However, recent advances in the ACES methodology of micro-interferometric measurements coupled with analytical and computational analysis offer a considerable promise for effective optimization of the design of advanced sensor packages. Sub-micron displacements of sensors can be readily measured with nanometer accuracy over a range of environmental conditions. This greatly facilitates the validation and refinement of quantitative models of packages and complex material structures. This paper describes the new approach, based on optoelectronic laser interferometric microscope methodology, to development of packaging for MEMS inertial sensors and discusses preliminary results that have been obtained.

An experimental and numerical analysis of the intake system of a production high performance four-stroke motorcycle engine was carried out. The aim of the work was to characterize the fluid dynamic behavior of the engine during the intake phase and to evaluate the capability of the most commonly used two-equation turbulence models to reproduce the in-cylinder flow field for a very complex engine head. Pressure and mass flow rates were measured on a steady-flow rig. Furthermore, velocity measurements were obtained within the combustion chamber using laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). The experimental data were compared to the numerical results using four two-equation turbulence models (standard k-ε, realizable k-ε, Wilcox k-ω, and SST k-ω models). All the investigated turbulence models well predicted the global performances of the intake system and the mean flow structure inside the cylinder. Some differences between measurements and computations were found close to the cylinder head while an improving agreement was evident moving away from the engine head. Furthermore, the Wilcox k-ω model permitted the flow field inside the combustion chamber of the engine to be reproduced and the overall angular momentum of the flux with respect to the cylinder axis to be quantified more properly.
