Simultaneous optical and gravimetric measurements were performed in the postflame region of an acetylene/air premixed flame where the temperature of the soot
We study the one-dimensional propagation of a laser pulse through an atomic vapor of finite length L. Both the temporal and the time-dependent spectral profiles
By scanning a slightly tilted, smooth surface with an atomic force microscope (AFM), it is possible to obtain hysteresis loops which contain information on the
High-resolution infrared spectra of (CO 2) 3 formed in a split jet supersonic expansion are obtained via direct absoption of a tunable diode laser in the V 3
The spatial resolution, sensitivity, and accuracy required for electrical characterization of device structures in the semiconductor industry suggest that
In a pool fire, an ignited puddle or pool of liquid fuel burns in the atmosphere. Understanding pool fires is important to devising methods to control the

Previous studies have demonstrated that a calcium phosphate cement (CPC), consisting of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA)
The development of a series of wideband acoustic emission (AE) sensor/preamplifier systems is described. Key design factors are discussed along with the actual
