Strain relaxation and surface morphology of high indium content InAlAs metamorphic buffers with reverse step

Low-temperature step-graded high indium content InAlAs (In% = 0.75) metamorphic buffer layers with reverse step layer grown on GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy are investigated in this paper. The composition and the strain relaxation of the top InAlAs layer are determined by high-resolution triple-axis X-ray diffraction measurements, which show that the top InAlAs layer is nearly fully relaxed and the growth parameters for these samples have little influence on the strain relaxation ratio. Surface morphology is observed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction pattern and atomic force microscopy. The surface morphology is found to depend strongly on both the growth temperature and the As flux. Compared with other samples, the sample growth under the optimized conditions has the smallest value of root mean square surface roughness. Furthermore, the ω − 2θ and ω scans of the triple-axis X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy result also show the sample grown under the optimized conditions has good crystalline quality.

Numerical Analysis of Coupling between Two-Dimensional Conventional Dielectric Waveguides and Photonic Crystal Waveguide

A problem of coupling between conventional dielectric waveguides and a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide is analyzed, using the Fourier series expansion method combined with the absorbing boundary condition of a perfectly matched layer (PML). A novel structure for the input and output ends of the photonic crystal waveguide is proposed to increase the coupling efficiency. Numerical examples are demonstrated and discussed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed structure.

Wide-range frequency method to obtain the transverse permeability from impedance measurements

In this work we present a method to obtain the transverse permeability of magnetic materials, valid for both cylindrical and rectangular geometry and a wide frequency range. The principle of this method is based on the dependence of the transverse permeability on the impedance through the skin-depth effect. We also present measurements of the transverse permeability from glass-coated microwires and a comparison with other well-established methods, namely approaches to low and high frequencies. From the complex permeability spectra we can obtain, for example, information about the domain-wall dynamics and the ferromagnetic resonance.     

Modelling of streaky structures and turbulent-spot generation process in wing boundary layer at high free-stream turbulence

Results of an experimental study of turbulent breakdown in gradient boundary layer at high freestream turbulence are reported. For the first time it is shown that, like the flat-plate boundary layer, the wing boundary layer at high freestream turbulence is modulated with streaky structures. One of possible mechanisms underlying the generation of turbulence spots in wing boundary layer is modelled assuming the interaction of streaky structures with high-frequency waves. Qualitative and quantitative data concerning the evolution of streaky structures in swqpt-wing boundary layer and in swept-wing boundary layer are presented. Certain differences between the evolution of streaky structures in wing boundary layer and in flat-plate boundary layer are revealed.

The impedance function of a confined polaron and bipolaron: The single-path-integral approach

We use the single-path-integral to calculate the impedance function of the polaron and bipolaron in quantum confinement with the presence of the external fields. The expectation values of the classical equation of motion is considered in order to obtain the impedance function. The mobility of the polaron and bipolaron in quantum confinement is also calculated in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. Without trapping, we also calculate the effective mass of the bipolaron in the magnetic field.     

Influence of frequency, temperature and composition on electrical properties of polycrystalline Co0.5CdxFe2.5−xO4 ferrites

Polycrystalline ferrites with general formula Co_0.5Cd_xFe_2.5−xO₄ (0.0?x?0.5) were prepared by sol-gel method. The dielectric properties ε′, ε″, loss tangent tan δ and ac conductivity σ_ac have been studied as a function of frequency, temperature and composition. The experimental results indicate that ε′, ε″, tan δ and σ_ac decrease as the frequency increases; whereas they increase as the temperature increases. These parameters are found to increase by increasing the concentration of Cd content up to x=0.2, after which they start to decrease with further increase in concentration of Cd ion. The dielectric properties and ac conductivity in studied samples have been explained on the basis of space charge polarization according to Maxwell and Wagner's two-layer model and the hoping between adjacent Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ as well as the hole hopping between Co³⁺and Co²⁺ ions at B-sites. The values of activation energies E_f for conduction process are determined from Arrhenius plots, and the variations in these activation energies as a function of Cd content are discussed. The complex impedance analysis is used to separate the grain and grain boundary of the system Co_0.5Cd_xFe_2.5−xO₄. The variations of both grain boundary and grain resistances with temperature and composition are evaluated in the frequency range 42 Hz-5 MHz.     

Transport properties of CsHSO4 investigated by impedance spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance

Transport properties of the superprotonic conductor, CsHSO₄, have been investigated by impedance spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It has been found that both, conductivity (σ) and NMR diffusion (D _NMR) are practically isotropic in the high-conductive (superprotonic) phase (above 414 K). The NMR diffusion coefficient, D _NMR , increases rapidly and discontinuously at the melting point (~490 K). The temperature change of D _NMR in the superprotonic phase is characterized by a smaller activation energy compared to that in the liquid state. The values calculated from the Nernst-Einstein relation practically coincide with D _NMR in the superprotonic phase, i.e., the Haven ratio is close to unity. This indicates that in this phase the proton motion is rather uncorrelated.
