Strain relaxation is studied in Strained Silicon Directly on Insulator (SSDOI) substrates patterned with nano-scale features. Using interference lithography
It is widely held that determination of increased levels of serum autoantibodies can play an important role in the diagnosis and, in some cases, management of
In perpendicular-transport structures with magnetic and non-magnetic layers, there is a resistance associated with changes in the value of current polarization
We report efficient generation of correlated photon pairs through degenerate four-wave mixing in a microstructure fiber. With 735.7 nm pump pulses producing
