Special enhanced silver mirror coatings were designed and fabricated to minimize the polarization introduced by a three-mirror off-axis high-accuracy telescope. A system diattenuation of approximately 1% in the VIS-NIR was achieved by both reducing the diattenuation from each mirror individually and by balancing the d…

Mg 2 TiO 4 ‐doped Ba 0.60 Sr 0.40 Mg 0.15 Ti 0.85 O 3 (BSTM) thin films with different Mg 2 TiO 4 concentrations were deposited on a polycrystalline alumina substrate via the sol–gel method. With the addition of Mg 2 TiO 4 , MgTiO 3 , MgAl 2 O 4 , and BSTM phases were formed in these composite thin films. The dielectr…

ZnSe immersion gratings (<i>n</i> ~ 2.45) provide the possibility of high-resolution spectroscopy for the near-infrared (NIR) region. Since ZnSe has a lower internal attenuation than other NIR materials, it is most suitable for immersion grating, particularly in short NIR region (0.8 - 1.4 μm). We are developing an…

We report the band-structure changes near Fermi level for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with diameters down to 1nm from the study of soft-x-ray absorption and resonant emission spectroscopy. The observed quantum confinement of SWNTs affects both π and σ bands and bandgap through the rehybridization of π and σ…

A semiclassical kinetic model is developed to simulate the plasmon excitation of nanotubes and the transport of charged particles moving through nanotubes. With the introduction of electron band structure, the analytical expressions of the dielectric function and the energy loss function are obtained for zigzag and ar…

Well-aligned Cu doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized by simple radio frequency plasma deposition in the absence of extra catalysts. The synthesized nanorods having a typical average diameter of about 60nm, were about 700nm in length and well aligned along the normal direction of the substrate. Magnetic measurements ind…

The As-doped p-type (Zn0.93Mn0.07)O layers show a strong dependence of their ferromagnetic properties on the hole conductivity that were controlled through the modification of negative background-charge density by changing the oxygen partial pressure during the initial growth stage before As doping. Curie temperature…

Optical properties of implanted Si in a silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin film have been determined with spectroscopic ellipsometry based on the Tauc–Lorentz (TL) model and the Bruggeman effective medium approximation. It is shown that the suppressed dielectric functions of the implanted Si are dominated by the energy tran…

The authors report the electron field emission from a single carbon nanofiber (CNF) over a range of anode to CNF tip separations of 20–5500nm. Our results show that the field enhancement factor γ is associated with the electrode separation (S). The modified Miller equation is a reasonable empirical model to describe t…

Abstract The term homogeneous has been applied to molluscan microstructures that lack a readily discernible microstructure and as a result, it has become rather a ‘dustbin’ term, covering a multitude of unrelated finely crystalline textures. Here we investigate in detail the outer ‘homogeneous’ layer of the lyonsiid b…
