Shalaginov2, Longjiang Deng1, Tian Gu2, Hualiang Zhang4 & Juejun Hu2 The mid-infrared (mid-IR) is a strategically important band for numerous applications ranging 1234567890():,; from night vision to biochemical sensing. Here we theoretically analyzed and experimentally realized a Huygens metasurface platform capable of fulfilling a diverse cross-section of optical functions in the mid-IR. The meta-optical elements were constructed using high-index chalcogenide films deposited on fluoride substrates: the choices of wide-band transparent materials allow the design to be scaled across a broad infrared spectrum. Capitalizing on a two-component Huygens’ meta-atom design, the meta-optical devices feature an ultra-thin profile (λ0/8 in thickness) and measured optical efficiencies up to 75% in transmissive mode for linearly polarized light, representing major improvements over state-of-the-art. We have also demonstrated mid-IR transmissive meta-lenses with diffraction-limited focusing and imaging performance. The projected size, weight and power advantages, coupled with the manufacturing scalability leveraging standard microfabrication technologies, make the Huygens meta-optical devices promising for next-generation mid-IR system applications. 1 State Key Laboratory of Electronic Thin Films and Integrated Devices, National Engineering Research Center of Electromagnetic Radiation Control Materials, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, Sichuan 611731, China. 2 Department of Materials Science & Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. 3 School of Information and Science Technology, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China. 4 Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854, USA.

    Chapter 1. Periodic Properties and Variation of Properties PAGE NO : 16 Solution 1: Modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers i.e., if the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic numbers, the elements with similar properties are repeated after definite regular intervals. Concept Insight: The elements are characterized by their atomic number as well as atomic weight. Modern periodic law uses atomic number which is number of protons or number of electrons present in an atom of an element. Solution 2: Modern periodic table consists of eighteen groups and seven periods. Concept Insight: Classification of elements on the basis of increasing atomic number is known as Modern Periodic Table. The vertical columns are called groups and the horizontal rows are called periods. Solution 3: The recurrence of similar properties of elements after certain regular intervals when they are arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers is called periodicity. Concept Insight: Periodicity in properties is due to the repetition of similar outer electronic configuration of elements at certain regular intervals. Solution 4: In general, the elements belonging to a group have the same number of valence electrons .For example, all the group 1 elements have valency one since they have only one electron in their outermost shell. In general, the elements belonging to a period do not have same valency but their valence shell remains the same. For example, second period has 8 elements with atomic number 3 to 10 but in all of them the valence electrons are present in shell number two.

We can divide matter into two categories as follows: Matte Pure Mixtur Heterogeneo Homogeneo Elemen Alloy Solutio Metal Nonmeta Compou Ioni Molecul PURE SUBSTANCES Substances that are the same or consistent throughout. Can be a single element or a combination of elements. Elements: Substance composed of only one kind of atom. 109 on the periodic table. Each has a unique international symbol. Can be combined to make other pure substances. Compound: Combination of two or more elements in specific proportions. Once combined the compound acts as one, with consistent chemical and physical properties. Chemical vs. Physical Properties Chemical - describes the reactivity of a substance. Physical -no new substance formed. Has similar properties in each form. Usually a change in phase. ie. Liquid, solid or gas. Chemical Reactions The process that occurus whena subtance or substances reacts to creat a different substance. - involve the production of new substances - involve the flow of energy (exothermic and endothermic) - involves formation of a gas - involves the formation of a solid in a liquid Periodic Table Elements on the periodic table are classified and arranged according to four basic patterns: 1. Atomic number: the number of protons (positively charged particle) in the nucleus of an element. The number of electrons in an atom 2. Metals vs. non-metals: separated by the staircase line. 3. Groups (or families): vertical columns that have similar properties. 4. Periods: horizontal rows which indicate the number of electron shells an atom has.

    Education: Chemistry CHE 01 INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY 1 Paul M. Shiundu Introductory Chemistry 1 Foreword The African Virtual University (AVU) is proud to participate in increasing access to education in African countries through the production of quality learning materials. We are also proud to contribute to global knowledge as our Open Educational Resources (OERs) are mostly accessed from outside the African continent. This module was prepared in collaboration with twenty one (21) African partner institutions which participated in the AVU Multinational Project I and II. From 2005 to 2011, an ICT-integrated Teacher Education Program, funded by the African Development Bank, was developed and offered by 12 universities drawn from 10 countries which worked collaboratively to design, develop, and deliver their own Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) programs for teachers in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, ICTs for teachers, and Teacher Education Professional Development. Four Bachelors of Education in mathematics and sciences were developed and peer-reviewed by African Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the participating institutions. A total of 73 modules were developed and translated to ensure availability in English, French and Portuguese making it a total of 219 modules. These modules have also been made available as Open Educational Resources (OER) on oer.avu.org, and have since then been accessed over 2 million times. In 2012 a second phase of this project was launched to build on the existing teacher education modules, learning from the lessons of the existing teacher education program, reviewing the existing modules and creating new ones. This exercise was completed in 2017. On behalf of the African Virtual University and our patron, our partner institutions, the African Development Bank, I invite you to use this module in your institution, for your own education, to share it as widely as possible, and to participate actively in the AVU communities of practice of your interest.
