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…

The influence of nepheline syenite on physicomechanical properties of extruded ceramic Raschig ring was investigated. Industrial kaolin was used as reference composition and different amounts of kaolin were replaced with nepheline syenite ranging 5–15 wt%. The laboratory experimental results showed that the use of 5 w…

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…

We fabricated a highly stable and sensitive gas sensor based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) protected by metal-oxide coating layer. SWNTs were deliberately decorated with 2–5 nm of oxygen-deficient SiO x and AlO x by pulsed laser deposition, followed by annealing under Ar/H 2 ambient. Surpassing the as-grow…

By tuning wavelengths of the femtosecond pump and probe pulses we mapped the nonlinear absorption of copper-glass nanocomposites within 520-620 nm range. At the pump intensity of 3 GW/cm(2), the induced transmission rise was as high as 20%. The imaginary part of the third-order optical susceptibility of the nanocompos…

Director fields around spherical and cylindrical micro particles embedded in a uniformly aligned nematic liquid crystal are investigated by means of fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy. Both dipolar configurations (point-like defects) and quadrupolar configurations (ring-like defect lines) are observed for sph…

A novel crosslinked smectic-C Main-Chain Liquid-Crystalline Elastomer (MCLCE) has been synthesized by polycondensation of vinyloxy-terminated mesogens, tetramethyldisiloxane and pentamethylpentaoxapentasilecane. The introduction of the functional vinyloxy group allows the synthesis of well-defined networks having low…

Ageing in systems without detailed balance is studied in bosonic contact and pair-contact processes with Levy diffusion. In the ageing regime, the dynamical scaling of the two-time correlation function and two-time response function is found and analysed. Exact results for non-equilibrium exponents and scaling functio…

The behavior of particles that are reflected in a turbo molecular pump is investigated by measuring particle trajectories and the number of particles that fall on a wafer in a plasma etching apparatus. Some scattered particles collide with the wafer at high velocity, which damage fine patterns of the photoresist on th…

Spatiotemporal correlations in start-up flows of attractive colloids are explored by numerical simulations as a function of their volume fraction and shear rate. The suspension is first allowed to flocculate during a time tw, then the stress necessary to induce its flow is computed. We find that, at low volume fractio…
