Physical Analysis of a Possibility to Reach the 1.30-μm Emission from the GaAs-Based VCSELs with the InGaAs/GaAs Quantum-Well Active Regions and the Intentionally Detuned Optical Cavities

Physical aspects of an operation of the GaAs-based InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well (QW) VCSELs with the intentionally detuned optical cavities have been considered in the present paper using the comprehensive three-dimensional self-consistent optical–electrical–thermal-gain simulation. In GaAs-based structures, very good DBR resonator mirrors and a very efficient methods to confine radially both the current spreading and the electromagnetic field with the aid of oxide apertures may be applied. It has been found using the above simulation that even currently available immature technology enables manufacturing the above devices emitting radiation of wavelengths over 1.20 μm. In particular, while the room-temperature 1.30-μm lasing emission is still beyond possibilities of the InGaAs/GaAs QW VCSELs, these structures may offer analogous 1.25-μm emission, especially for the high-power and/or high-temperature operation.

Hadron production near threshold

Final state interaction effects inpp→ pΛK ⁺ andpd →³Heη reactions are explored near threshold to study the sensitivity of the cross-sections to thepΛ potential and theηN scattering matrix. The final state scattering wave functions between Λ andp andη and³He are described rigorously. The Λ production is described by the exchange of one pion and aK-meson between two protons in the incident channel. Theη production is described by a two-step model, where in the first step a pion is produced. This pion then produces anη by interacting with another nucleon

Self-organized ZnAl2O4 nanostructures grown on -sapphire

Self-organized ZnAl₂O₄ nanostructures with the appearance (in SEM) of high aspect ratio horizontal nanowires are grown on uncatalysed c-sapphire by vapour phase transport. The nanostructures grow as three equivalent crystallographic variants on c-sapphire. Raman and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy confirm that the nanostructures are not ZnO and TEM shows that they are the cubic spinel, zinc aluminate, ZnAl₂O₄, formed by the reaction of Zn and O with the sapphire substrate.     

Interpolation of Bilinear Operators Between Quasi-Banach Spaces

We study interpolation, generated by an abstract method of means, of bilinear operators between quasi-Banach spaces. It is shown that under suitable conditions on the type of these spaces and the boundedness of the classical convolution operator between the corresponding quasi-Banach sequence spaces, bilinear interpolation is possible. Applications to the classical real method spaces, Calderón-Lozanovsky spaces, and Lorentz-Zygmund spaces are presented.

The phase transition in the fully frustrated XY model as a percolation problem

The fully frustrated planar rotator and fully frustrated XY models in two dimensions have two phase transitions: one of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless type and other in the Ising universality class. We use Monte Carlo simulation to study both models. We fix our attention in the Ising-like transition, which we show can be understood as a percolation transition. We obtain the critical temperature as well as the critical exponents of the mean cluster size, γ, and Fisher's exponent τ. The critical temperature agree very well with other calculations. We found that the critical exponents are smaller than in the pure two-dimensional percolation case. We interpret this as due to the long-range interaction between vortex and antivortex.     

Y2Rh3Ge, a rhombohedral substitution variant of the MgCu2 type

The structure of Y₂Rh₃Ge has been determined and refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.042). It is a rhombohedral, ternary, ordered variant of the cubic Laves structure type MgCu₂, with space group and c = 11.82(1)Å for the triple hexagonal cell. The c/a ratio (2.13) is significantly lower than the value for the triple hexagonal cell of the cubic lattice of the parent structure type (2.45), resulting in shorter distances between Rh and Ge atoms than between Rh atoms. The isotypy of Pr₂Rh₃Si, Er₂Rh₃Si, Pr₂Rh₃Ge, and Er₂Rh₃Ge has been established from Guinier films. The Y₂Rh₃Ge structure is compared with the binary compound YRh₂, crystallizing with the MgCu₂ structure, and with three other simple, ternary, ordered substitution derivatives of the Laves phase types MgZn₂ and MgCu₂.     

Angle-resolved thermal desorption of atoms from solid surfaces: one-phonon mechanism

A model for one-phonon thermal desorption is presented in which the structure of the substrate phonons, expressed as a projection on a surface atom of the phonon density of states, appears as a separate factor in the angle- and energy-resolved desorption rate. Desorption from both localized, and delocalized initioladatom states is considered. Under certain circumstances one can obtain the cosine-distribution of the equilibrium theory, but in general, the desorption flux from delocalized states deviates from the cosine law by being peaked away from the surface normal, whereas for localized initiol states, the flux is concentrated more in the normal direction.
