Linear and nonlinear optical properties of Si nanocrystals in SiO2 deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of silicon suboxide SiOx films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition have been studied for different Si excesses up to 24¿at.¿%. The layers have been fully characterized ...
Growth, optical characterization, and laser operation of a stoichiometric crystal KYb(WO4)(2)
We present our recent achievements in the growing and optical characterization of KYb(WO4)2 (hereafter KYbW) crystals and demonstrate laser operation in this stoichiometric material. Single crystals of KYbW with optimal ...
Operational experience and commissioning of the Belle II vertex detector
The construction of the new accelerator at the Super Flavor Factory in Tsukuba, Japan, has been finalized and the commissioning of its detector (Belle II) has started. This new e+e machine (SuperKEKB) will deliver an ...
Photothermally controlled methotrexate release system using β-cyclodextrin and gold nanoparticles
The inclusion compound (IC) of cyclodextrin (CD) containing the antitumor drug Methotrexate (MTX) as a guest molecule was obtained to increase the solubility of MTX and decrease its inherent toxic effects in nonspecific ...
Electron capture and emission by the Ti acceptor level in GaP
Previously reported results on deep level optical spectroscopy, optical absorption, deep level transient spectroscopy, photoluminescence excitation, and time resolved photoluminescence are reviewed and discussed in order ...
Influence of compositionally induced defects on the vibrational properties of device grade Cu2ZnSnSe4 absorbers for kesterite based solar cells
This work presents a detailed analysis of the impact of compositionally induced defects on the vibrational properties of Cu2ZnSnSe4 absorbers for kesterite based solar cells. Systematic changes in the intensity of the E ...
Leaky and waveguide modes in biperiodic holograms
This study details a theoretical analysis of leaky and waveguide modes in biperiodic all-dielectric holograms. By tuning diffraction orders and subsequently confining local density of optical states at two distinct resonance ...
Tuning branching in ceria nanocrystals
Branched nanocrystals (NCs) enable high atomic surface exposure within a crystalline network that provides avenues for charge transport. This combination of properties makes branched NCs particularly suitable for a range ...
A Novel Approach for a Chip-Sized Scanning Optical Microscope
The recent advances in chip-size microscopy based on optical scanning with spatially resolved nano-illumination light sources are presented. This new straightforward technique takes advantage of the currently achieved ...
Green luminescence of Er3+ in stoichiometric KYb(WO4)2 single crystals
We grew good-optical-quality KYb~WO4)2 single crystals doped with erbium ions by the top seeded solution growth slow cooling method. Optical absorption of erbium was performed at room temperature ~RT! and at 6 K. Green ...
Anomalous crossover between thermal and shot noise in macroscopic diffusive conductors
We predict the existence of an anomalous crossover between thermal and shot noise in macroscopic diffusive conductors. We first show that, besides thermal noise, these systems may also exhibit shot noise due to fluctuations ...
GdBaCo2O5+x layered perovskite as an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell cathode
GdBaCo2O5+x (GBCO) was evaluated as a cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. A porous layer of GBCO was deposited on an anode-supported fuel cell consisting of a 15m thick electrolyte of yttria-stabilized ...
Simulation of STEM-HAADF image contrast of Ruddlesden-Popper faulted LaNiO<sub>3</sub> thin films
LaNiO3 (LNO) thin films are widely used as electrode materials. Yet, their properties greatly depend on such parameters as strain state and defect density. In this work we present a detailed structural characterization of ...
Immuno-μSARS2 Chip: A Peptide-Based Microarray to Assess COVID-19 Prognosis Based on Immunological Fingerprints
A multiplexed microarray chip (Immuno-μSARS2) aiming at providing information on the prognosis of the COVID-19 has been developed. The diagnostic technology records information related to the profile of the immunological ...
