Photoreflectance study of energy level structure of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emitting at 1.3 μm

Photoreflectance and photoluminescence measurements were performed on the ensemble of self assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots designed to emit at 1.3 μm. As many as six QDs-related optical transitions were observed in PR spectra, the energies of which were confirmed by high-excitation PL results. Numerical calculations allowed estimating the average size of the dots, which is larger than for standard InAs/GaAs QDs. This result is in agreement with structural data. Additionally, the energy level structure for such QDs was derived and compared with the electronic structure of standard InAs/GaAs dots. It was shown that the energy level structure of such large dots qualifies them for the active region of a laser emitting at 1.3 μm.     

Uniqueness and the global Markov property for Euclidean fields: The case of general exponential interaction

The uniqueness and the global Markov property for the regular Gibbs measure corresponding to the interaction $$U_\Lambda (\varphi ): = \lambda \int\limits_\Lambda {d_2 x\int {d\varrho (\alpha ):e^{\alpha \varphi } :_0 (x)} } $$ [forλ>0,d?(α) a probability measure with support in \(( - 2\sqrt {\pi ,} 2\sqrt \pi )\) ] is proved.     

On distributions of antibaryons in\bar p-Nucleus inelastic collisions

In the framework of the dual parton model we calculate the spectra of secondary antibaryons in \(\bar p\) -nucleus non-annihilation inelastic interactions. We find that the number of antibaryons in the backward hemisphere in the \(\bar p\) -nucleon centre-of-mass frame can grow with the atomic number of the nucleus.     

The thermoelastic behaviour of the orientationally disordered ionic crystals in two dimensions

The anomalous temperature dependence of the elastic constantsc ₁₁ andc ₆₆ and the elastic instability temperatureT _c are obtained in the two-dimensional microscopic model of the alkali cyanides crystals. It has been found, by means of the Michel and Naudts' theory of the translation rotation coupling, that the orientational disorder in the high-temperature phase leads to the critical softening of the shear elastic constantc ₆₆.     

Ultrasonic system for accurate distance measurement in the air

This paper presents a system that accurately measures the distance travelled by ultrasound waves through the air. The simple design of the system and its obtained accuracy provide a tool for non-contact distance measurements required in the laser’s optical system that investigates the surface of the eyeball.     

Vibrations of parametrically excited systems

The paper is concerned with a set of linear differential equations with time-dependent parameters given by trigonometrical series. Derived formulas make it possible to examine stability, to find boundaries of the regions of instability and to estimate the steady state response amplitude of forced vibrations.     

Instability of the motion of a beam of periodically varying length

The parametric instability of the motion of a cantilever beam of periodically varying length is investigated. The boundaries of the instability regions are found and plotted.     

One-dimensional model with rotational and liquid-crystalline phase transitions

A one-dimensional system of hard-rod particles with rotational-like internal degrees of freedom is considered. Particles interact with each other through the infinite-range, infinitely weak attractive Kac potential, and through a nearest-neighbor short-range potential. The latter depends also on the internal states of the interacting particles. Exact results for thermodynamic properties and for some correlation functions are obtained. It is found that the considered system exhibits several first-order transitions between phases with different rotational structure, i.e., with different ordering with respect to the internal degrees of freedom. The calculated equation of state seems to suggest that in the solutions of liquid-crystalline substances in neutral solvents there may exist regions in which the coefficient of thermal expansion is negative—an effect similar to that well known in liquid water.

Discriminant versus rough sets approach to vague data analysis

This paper presents a comparative study of the use of two different methods of data analysis on a common set of data. The first is a method based on rough sets theory and the second is the location model method from the field of discriminant analysis. To investigate the comparative performance of these methods, a set of real medical data has been used. The data considered are of both discrete and continuous character. During the comparison, particular attention is paid to data reduction and to the derivation of decision rules and classification functions from the reduced set.
