From a theoretical standpoint, we propose that the addition of oxygen enhances the luminescence for codoping europium and magnesium in gallium nitride. From the additional oxygen, donor levels are created to an energy range between the europium f*-level and the conduction band, whereas magnesium acceptor levels are be…

A noncontact method to evaluate the acoustic nonlinearity of surface waves in a plastically deformed aluminum alloy is proposed. Line-arrayed laser beams modulated with slit masks were used for the generation of narrowband surface waves. A laser-ultrasonic detector using a two-wave mixing (TWM) approach was also emplo…

Abstract We describe herein how to control the orientation of polymer nanowrinkles and nanofolds with large amplitudes. Nanowrinkles were created by chemically treating thermoplastic polystyrene sheets to form a thin skin layer and then heating the substrate to relieve strain. By manipulating the strain globally and l…
