We demonstrate a general approach to characterize compositional heterogeneity in polymer thin films using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy...
We have determined the scattering length of the a3Sigma+ potential of 87RbCs based on experimental observations from the literature and the known value for the...
The control of the broadband frequency comb1 emitted from a mode-locked femtosecond laser has permitted a wide range of scientific and technological...
In this paper, closed-form expressions for the current density on the ground planes of an asymmetric stripline structure are derived. The derivation utilizes...
When a Ne:NCCN sample is codeposited at 4.3 K with neon atoms that have been excited in a microwave discharge, the infrared and near infrared spectra of the...

Polymer-coated ferromagnetic colloids are first assembled with an applied magnetic field and then permanently fixed into one-dimensional mesostructures using a...
We performed a detailed study of the effect of annealing (at temperatures up to 300°C) on 0.2-3.0 nm thick epitaxial Fe layers deposited on GaAs(001). Using...
Silicon is rather inefficient light emitter due to the indirect-band gap electronic structure, requiring a phonon to balance electron momentum during interband...
A general theory is presented to estimate the uncertainty of a frequency comparison in the presence of dead time or time offset in the measurement. The...
