Ordered mesoporous silica films were synthesized using pre-organized block copolymer templates in supercritical carbon dioxide. Poly(ethylene oxide-block...
We have developed a method to examine how residual stress affects the values of the elastic moduli of thin films determined from surface acoustic wave...

We have developed a measurement system based on a correlation method to characterize the nonlinearity of a detector's response over a large range of laser pulse...
We introduce a general control-theoretic setting for random dynamical decoupling, applicable to quantum , engineering of both closed-and open-system dynamics...

Spin-polarized dc electric current flowing into a magnetic layer can induce precession of the magnetization at a frequency that depends on current. We show that...
We present theoretical and experimental studies of the center-of-mass (COM) stability of ions in a Penning trap with a quadrupole rotating electric field. The...
Measurements leading to the calculation of the standard thermodynamic properties for gaseous 2-methylquinoline (Chemical Abstracts registry number [91-63-4])...

Solving the Gross--Pitaevskii (GP) equation describing a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) immersed in an optical lattice potential can be a numerically demanding...
End states-the zero-dimensional analogs of the two-dimensional states that occur at a crystal surface-were observed at the ends of one-dimensional atom chains...
An adiabatic calorimeter was used to measure the enthalpy of solution of potassium tetrafluoroborate (0.01mol.kg-1 to 0.02 mol.kg-1) into water and into aqueous...
