A major concern in Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) pertains to the accuracy of standard mathematical models that are used to extract kinetic
Nanoindentation is increasingly being used to explore mechanical properties on a local scale. One of the interests and challenges of nanoindentation is
We present harmonic generation measurements of the intrinsic nonlinear current density j2 of (YBCO) films at temperatures close the Tc. Experiments on a range
This paper presents an edge field correction for micromagnetic computations of arbitrarily shaped objects on rectangular grids. The correction is compatible
Helium leak testing is a vital step in assuring product reliability for anything that must be packaged in a sealed container. Examples abound from blister

We develop an empirical model for the warm-up drift in a harmonic phase standard used to calibrate the phase distortion of a nonlinear vector network analyzer
We studied the systematic effect of current ripple on the determination of n-value, which is the index of the shape of the electric field-current (E-I) curve

The slitting of wide Y-Ba-Cu-O coated-conductor tapes to a width desirable for applications allows a considerable reduction in conductor manufacturing cost
Superconductor thin films are known to possess a nonlinear response at microwave frequencies. These nonlinear effects can be described quantitatively by a
We report the first quantum key distribution (QKD) experiment to enable the creation of secure keys over 42 dB channel loss and 200 km of optical fibre. We used
