A picosecond pump-probe technique is used to measure the room-temperature thermal conductivity κ and longitudinal sound velocity cl of amorphous diamond (a-D) and diamondlike ca...
We present an experimental study of the propagation of the THz Zenneck surface wave on an aluminum sheet, now more commonly denoted as the THz surface plasmon (TSP). Here, the T...
Six major theories of quantum dissipative dynamics are compared: Redfield theory, the Gaussian phase space ansatz of Yan and Mukamel, the master equations of Agarwal, Caldeira-L...
A novel optical fiber is proposed that supports the lowest-order soliton despite the presence of optical loss. Groupvelocity dispersion of this fiber decreases with distance, in...
Local oxidation of silicon surfaces by atomic force microscopy is a very promising lithographic approach at nanometer scale. Here, we study the reproducibility, voltage dependen...
We present the concept of non-rigid matching based on demons, by reference to Maxwell's demons. We contrast this concept with the more conventional viewpoint of attraction. We s...
This paper describes diffraction-pattern sampling as a basis for automatic pattern recognition in photographic imagery; it covers: Diffraction-pattern generation. diffraction-pa...
Silver micro- and nanocrystallites are prepared on porous Si substrates by immersion plating, and their activity toward SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) is assessed. Sca...
