The understanding of the behavior of arsenic in highly doped near surface silicon layers is of crucial importance for the formation of N-type Ultra Shallow
We present a new computational method for calculating bound states of ultracold alkali metal dimers in the presence of magnetic fields. The new method is based
SANS/USANS measurements were used to determine the structural changes induced by photopolymerization of AOT/D2O/(Dodecyl Acrylate) inverse microemulsion systems
