A molecular dynamics approach has been employed to study the dynamical behavior of a water droplet adsorbed on a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surface. Several sizes of water droplets are considered in order to understand the size influence of the droplet on the dynamical properties of water molecules on the PMMA s…

New hybrid surface reinforcement consisting of crack healing and low energy electron beam irradiation has been proposed for structural ceramics. Crack healing was found to make surface cracks be innocuous. Low‐energy electron beam irradiation was found to significantly harden the treated subsurface layer, which includ…

Leaving the lights on: Because of its prevalence under widely different conditions, the phenomenon of fluorescence intermittence, or blinking, is sometimes considered as nearly universal (see picture for a typical trace). Therefore, the announcement of the synthesis of non-blinking dots has stunned—and thrilled—the sc…

The adsorption and thermal decomposition of iodoalkanes CH 3 I, C 2 H 5 I, and C 4 H 9 I on Ge(100) were studied with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) using synchrotron radiation. At 105 K, the iodoalkanes adsorb both molecularly and dissociatively on Ge(100); the shorter-c…

Abstract Chitosan is a major structural component of fungal cell walls and has diverse medical and other applications. However, cost‐effective culture and extraction methods for fungi need to be developed. Therefore, Mucor rouxii was grown on YPG‐media in both submerged batch and semi‐continuous cultures. Chitosan was…

Switched networks have been adopted in on-chip communication for their scalability and efficient resource sharing. However, using a general network for a specific domain may result in unnecessary high cost and low performance when the interconnects are not optimized for the domain. Designing an optimal network for the…

The dynamic heat capacity is calculated from molecular dynamics simulations of a model glass former of simple bead-spring chains. The temperature is directly modulated and the energy tracked. The frequency-dependent heat capacity is found as the complex response function. There is agreement both with molecular dynamic…

The reciprocity relation of McCumber which states that the emission and absorption spectra of broad solid-state laser transitions are related by the classical Boltzmann factor is critically examined. It is argued that it should be treated as an exact property of homogeneously broadened amorphous host gain media at roo…

InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with nanoporous microhole array (NMA) structures were fabricated through photoelectrochemical wet oxidation and oxide-removing processes. The average size of the nanoporous structure at the microhole regions was measured at 60-80 nm. Forward voltages were measured at 3.47 and 3…

Upon absorption of a photon, the 1-methyl-7-oxyquinolinium zwitterion in neutral water undergoes a proton-transfer cycle involving protonation at the lowest excited triplet state and redeprotonation at the ground state. On one hand, the proton transfer of a water molecule to the triplet-state zwitterion takes place on…

In this work, we show that by using single negative (SNG) media, the sensitivity of open-ended near-field waveguide probes can be enhanced. The enhancement is due to the evanescent wave amplification property of SNG media. As a demonstration of the efficacy of the proposed SNG-enhanced probe, we present a numerical st…

As the industry moves towards sub-65nm technology nodes, the mask inspection, with increased sensitivity and shrinking critical defect size, catches more and more nuisance and false defects. Increased defect counts pose great challenges in the post inspection defect classification and disposition: which defect is real…
