Hummers method is commonly used for the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) from graphite particles. The oxidation process also leads to the cutting of graphene sheets into small pieces. From a thermodynamic perspective, it seems improbable that the aggressive, somewhat random oxidative cutting process could directly r…

We describe a morphological imprint of magnetization found when considering the relative orientation of the magnetic field direction with respect to the density structures in simulated turbulent molecular clouds. This imprint was found using the Histogram of Relative Orientations (HRO), a new technique that utilizes t…

Optical losses and energy-transfer upconversion (ETU) in sputter-deposited polycrystalline ErxY2-xSiO5thin film waveguides are investigated. We find that the high temperature anneal that is necessary for crystallization and optical activation of Er induces grain growth that causes large propagation losses. Through min…
