Microstructure and strain films using in-plane grazing analysis of GaN epitaxial incidence x-ray diffraction

This paper investigates the major structural parameters, such as crystal quality and strain state of （001）-oriented GaN thin films grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, using an in-plane grazing incidence x-ray diffraction technique. The results are analysed and compared with a complementary out-of-plane x- ray diffraction technique. The twist of the GaN mosaic structure is determined through the direct grazing incidence t of （100） reflection which agrees well with the result obtained by extrapolation method. The method for directly determining the in-plane lattice parameters of the GaN layers is also presented. Combined with the biaxial strain model, it derives the lattice parameters corresponding to fully relaxed GaN films. The GaN epilayers show an increasing residual compressive stress with increasing layer thickness when the two dimensional growth stage is established, reaching to a maximum level of-0.89 GPa.     

Acoustic backscattering enhancements resulting from the interaction of an obliquely incident plane wave with an infinite cylinder

Background and objective

The analysis of the acoustic backscattering enhancements from tilted cylinders is of particular importance in determining some of the (visco)elastic properties of the cylinder, and/or its surrounding fluid in ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and imaging (NDI) applications. Previous related investigations on an aluminum cylinder limited to incidence angles varying from 0° to 40°, revealed the existence of an anomalous “pseudo-Rayleigh” mode (above the critical Rayleigh angle) identified as the rigid-body translational dipole (n = 1) mode. The objective here is to provide a complete investigation on the backscattering enhancements for incidence angles larger than 40° for various elastic and viscoelastic cylinder materials.

Method

Using the partial-wave series solution for the linear scattering by an infinite circular cylinder, the acoustic backscattering from isotropic elastic and viscoelastic (polymer-type) cylinders excited by an obliquely incident plane acoustic wave is investigated. Total and resonance backscattering form functions are calculated for several elastic and viscoelastic cylinder materials immersed in water versus the angle of incidence 0° ? α < 90°. The “pure” resonance peaks are isolated by subtracting a rigid background from the total form function, so the associated resonance modes are properly identified.

Results and conclusion

The plots of the partial-wave series reveal acoustic backscattering enhancements (not shown in previous investigations) generally occurring at ka? 0.1 at a critical angle α_c bounded by the longitudinal and shear waves coupling angles θ_L=sin^-1(c/c_L) and θ_S=sin^-1(c/c_S) such that θ_L<α_c<θ_S (where c_L and c_S are the phase velocities of the longitudinal and shear waves inside the elastic cylinder, and c is the speed of sound in the surrounding medium). It is shown here that the backscattering enhancements with a critical angle θ_L<α_c<θ_S result from the excitation of the monopole (n = 0) resonance mode. Moreover, additional acoustic backscattering enhancements still occur in the range 1 ?ka? 6 even though the angle of tilt is greater than the Rayleigh wave coupling angle θ_R=sin^-1(c/c_R) (where c_R is the Rayleigh wave velocity in an elastic half-space). The resonance scattering theory shows that such additional enhancements are associated with the excitation of a dipole (n = 1) resonance mode which may result from the interference of meridional and/or helical waves propagating along the cylinder’s surface. It is therefore essential to consider tilt angles ranging from normal to end-on incidence for a complete analysis of the backscattering by elastic and viscoelastic cylinders.     

Threshold dynamics in a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate

We discuss the dynamic of a stochastic Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Susceptible (SIRS) epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate.The crucial threshold $\tilde{R}_0$ is identified and this will determine the extinction and persistence of the epidemic when the noise is small. We also discuss the asymptotic behavior of the stochastic model around the endemic equilibrium of the corresponding deterministic system. When the noise is large, we find that a large noise intensity has the effect of suppressing the epidemic, so that it dies out. Finally, these results are illustrated by computer simulations.     

Global analysis of an age-structured SEIR model with immigration of population and nonlinear incidence rate

Epidemic models with infection age of infectious individuals have been extensively studied, however, most of the existing works ignore the combined effects of immigration and nonlinear incidence. In this paper, we incorporate both the effects of immigration and nonlinear incidence, based on which we formulate an SEIR epidemic model. We give a rigorous mathematical analysis on some necessary technical materials. Then, by constructing a Lyapunov functional, we show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations of an application are given to support our theoretical results.

Bifurcation analysis of a delayed epidemic model

In this paper, Hopf bifurcation for a delayed SIS epidemic model with stage structure and nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. Through theoretical analysis, we show the positive equilibrium stability and the conditions that Hopf bifurcation occurs. Applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument, we derive the explicit formulas determining the properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions. In addition, we also study the effect of the inhibition effect on the properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions. To illustrate our theoretical analysis, some numerical simulations are also included.     

Effects of passage of 200 MeV Ag9+ ions in indium phosphide at different depths

Indium phosphide sample was irradiated with 200?MeV Ag⁹⁺ ions for the fluence of 2?×?10¹³?ions?cm^?2. The sample was chemically etched down up to 240?nm depth to investigate the distribution of defects at different regions. Raman scattering and glancing incidence X-ray diffraction spectra were recorded at different depths. The stress estimated from Raman shift was found to increase with depth up to 160?nm and thereafter it decreased and at a depth of 224?nm sample did not show any stress. Phonon coherence length estimated from the Phonon Confinement Model was found to vary between 43 and 18?nm with respect to depth. Glancing incidence X-ray diffraction results revealed the decrease in crystallite size from 16.12 to 1.00?nm in different depth regions.     

The inverse electromagnetic scattering problem by a penetrable cylinder at oblique incidence

In this work, we consider the method of non-linear boundary integral equation for solving numerically the inverse scattering problem of obliquely incident electromagnetic waves by a penetrable homogeneous cylinder in three dimensions. We consider the indirect method and simple representations for the electric and the magnetic fields in order to derive a system of five integral equations, four on the boundary of the cylinder and one on the unit circle where we measure the far-field pattern of the scattered wave. We solve the system iteratively by linearizing only the far-field equation. Numerical results illustrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
