A concave diffraction grating with a tunable radius of curvature R is fabricated by embedding a nitinol wire within an elastomeric grating replica. Curvature of the grating is controlled via the shape memory effect, where strain in the wire is recovered due to martensite-austenite phase transformations induced by resi…

We study the mitigation of Si nanocrystal (Si-nc) free carrier absorption (FCA) loss at telecom wavelengths in a concentric microdisk design. The concentric microdisk design relies on using the Si-nc emission as an optical pump for the surrounding Er-based lasing media without subjecting the lasing mode to the FCA los…

Systems with aligned anisotropic interactions between particles exhibit numerous phase transitions. A remarkable example of the fluid phase transition occurring in such systems is the formation of particle strings--the so-called "string" or "chain" fluids. We employ an approach based on the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equat…

A high-quality as-grown PbSe film with a record low threading dislocation density of 9×105 cm−2 on patterned Si(111) substrate has been obtained using molecular beam epitaxy. The mechanisms leading to the remarkable reduction in threading dislocation density are analyzed. Based on the analysis, further reduction in di…

Vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on a tungsten (W) tip by thermal chemical vapour deposition, applying a negative biasing voltage to the W tip in a pin–plate electrode configuration. The CNT electrodes, due to their nano-sized tip radii, create very high electric fields, and reduce the…

Effects of chemical treatment on the potential for recycling of bagasse pulp were evaluated. The pulps were recycled three times with water (without treatment), sodium hydroxide, and ethylamine separately. Changes in crystalline structure of the pulp during recycling were investigated by x-ray diffractometry. Water re…
