We have numerically investigated lasing dynamics from a twist defect in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) by an auxiliary differential equation finite-difference time-domain (ADE-FDTD) method. As ADEs, the equation of motion of polarization described on the basis of the classical electron oscillator (Lorenz) model an…

We show that contact properties of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene to metal electrode can be improved with Ar plasma treatment before metal electrode deposition. The Ar plasma treatment reduced the baseline signal of the Raman spectrum of graphene without changing main peaks of 2D and G peak and increas…

NiFe-seeded magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) of IrMn/CoFe/MgO/CoFeB were successfully formed by radically oxidizing a thin Mg layer. Room temperature (RT) tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of up to 211±10% was obtained and found to be strongly dependent on the thickness of the NiFe seed layer. High resolution transmissio…

LiCoO2 is a well established commercial Li-ion battery cathode. However, due to cost constraints and the toxicity of the metal, other layered compounds should be investigated. In this paper, layered LiMn0.3Co0.3Ni0.3Fe0.1O2 were prepared using sol-gel method with CH3COOLi•2H2O, (CH3CO2)2Mn•4H2O, (CH3CO2)2Co•4H2O, (CH3…

In order to consider the effect of micro-structural interactions in the fast transient process of heat transport, a modified bio-heat transfer equation was developed based on the dual-phase-lag model. This work would use the corresponding equation to analyze the thermal response in a perfused tissue subjected to the s…

Some models of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state predict that the quasiparticles, which carry the charge, have non-Abelian statistics: exchange of two quasiparticles changes the wave function more dramatically than just the usual change of phase factor. Such non-Abelian statistics would make the system less sensit…

AC-AC conversion is obtained with the help of Cyclo-converters, DC Link converters and AC Voltage Controllers. AC voltage controllers are also referred to as voltage regulators. Main issue concerned to these converters is that they generate harmonics due to periodic variable structure system. The generated harmonics c…

We report a generalized successive failure (or breakdown) methodology for non-Weibull distributions and successfully apply it to both SiO2single-layer dielectric with progressive BD and high-κ/SiO2bilayer dielectrics in intrinsic failure mode. We show that for failure-current based distributions (non-Weibull) of intri…
