We present helium atom scattering measurements of the boson peak at the surface of vitreous silica between 127.0 and 368.5 K. The most probable energy shows a strong temperature dependence and increases linearly with temperature in the measured range. The observed blueshift of the surface boson peak (shift rate 0.008+…

The image contrast and clarity recorded by backside illuminated HgCdTe focal plane arrays (FPAs) is strongly dependent on minimizing signal loss and detector noise caused by scattered and reflected light from the FPA window and imaging optics. Thin film anti-reflection (AR) treatments based on stacks of thin-film mate…

Tetragonal PbTiO 3 under uniaxial stress along the c -axis is investigated from first-principles. The structural parameters, polarization, and squares of the lowest optical phonon frequencies for E (1TO) and A 1 (1TO) modes at Γ show abrupt changes near a stress σ c of 1.04 GPa, which is related to the dramatic change…

Efficient multiple-exciton generation (MEG) in semiconductor quantum dots has been recently reported. The MEG efficiency has so far been evaluated assuming that the change (bleaching) of the absorption spectrum due to MEG is linearly proportional to the number of excitons N(X). Here, we critically examine this assumpt…
