Electric control of spin chirality in a magnetically frustrated multiferroic is demonstrated through polarized magnetic neutron diffraction. Cooling to the...
A model of the temperature response of low-expansion glass Fabry-Perot cavities that includes structural distortion at the contacted mirrors compares well to...
We theoretically investigate the interaction of a single quantum dipole with the modes of a fiber-coupled semiconductor waveguide. Through a combination of...

Applications using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for optical performance monitoring (OPM) are proposed and demonstrated. Simultaneous identification of...
We present a systematical investigation, both analytical and numerical, on the dynamics of two nearly lossless and distortion-free weak nonlinear optical pulses...
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that up to half of non-fatal CO poisoning incidents during the hurricane seasons in 2004...

A review of research on the volatility of aprotic ionic liquids is presented. This topic is limited to aprotic liquids, since measurements have led to a...
We predict that the optical conductivity of normal graphene multilayers is close to ς uni=(π/2) e 2/h per layer over a broad range of frequencies. The origin of...
