A single scanning nano-slit is used to study aerial image characteristics. Finite-difference time-domain simulations reveal that, in the far field of such a slit, the detected image contrast is very high over a large spatial frequency range regardless of the polarization direction. In the near field, the TM polarizati…

Hall and optical conductivity experiments on the cuprates indicate that the low-energy fermionic degrees of freedom in a doped Mott insulator possess a component that is dynamically generated and hence determined by the temperature. We show explicitly how the spectrum in the lower Hubbard band should be partitioned to…

Abstract Extending a key observation made by Meyers et al. (Meyers et al., J Chem Phys, 1992, 97, 2750), a strategy for the systematic design of conducting polymers with tailor‐made bandgaps and carrier effective masses is described and quantum‐chemically implemented. Such strategy relies on the construction of altern…

A major challenge for those utilizing ellipsometry is numerical processing of the measured data. The transcendental, multivalued equations arising from the physics of simple reflection are problematic for the least-squares numerical methods in common use. These early numerical methods require fairly accurate initial e…
