We study the dynamics of a pair of nonlinear split-ring resonators (a `metadimer') excited by an alternating magnetic field and coupled magnetically. Linear metadimers of this kind have been recently used as the elementary components for…
MOF/polymer composites have been widely investigated in the past decade for gas separation applications. However, the impact of MOF nanoparticle morphology and size in gas separation have not yet been systematically studied by computer…
