Structural-temporal theory of fracture as a multiscale process

The paper reports on a structural-temporal approach to analysis of multiscale fracture of solids. A practical procedure is proposed for estimating the strength characteristics of material on one scale from test data on another scale.     

Structures with variable dimensionality of electronic states for unipolar lasers

We review our study aimed at the creation of a unipolar laser with the efficient suppression of nonradiative relaxation between the laser subbands owing to strongly asymmetric-in-height barriers surrounding an active element. The asymmetry of the barriers causes the existence of a lower laser subband only within a narrow region of in-plane momenta. In such a way, one-phonon relaxation between the laser subbands can be significantly suppressed.     

Experimental shift allowance in the deconvolution of SIMS depth profiles

We study the deconvolution of the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiles of silicon and gallium arsenide structures with doped thin layers. Special attention is paid to allowance for the instrumental shift of experimental SIMS depth profiles. This effect is taken into account by using Hofmann's mixing‐roughness‐information depth model to determine the depth resolution function. The ill‐posed inverse problem is solved in the Fourier space using the Tikhonov regularization method. The proposed deconvolution algorithm has been tested on various simulated and real structures. It is shown that the algorithm can improve the SIMS depth profiling relevancy and depth resolution. The implemented shift allowance method avoids significant systematic errors of determination of the near‐surface delta‐doped layer position. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
