A kinetic model of the monoenergetic acceleration of a target foil irradiated by the circularly polarized laser pulse is developed. The target moves without thermal heating with constant acceleration which is provided by ...

We investigate the formation of metal-free, Population III (Pop III), stars within a minihalo at z similar or equal to 20, starting from cosmological initial conditions. We follow the collapsing gas in the center of the ...

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) is used in conjunction with an Automated Crystallography for TEM (ACT) to index the crystal orientation of 180 nm wide Cu interconnects using the Nano Beam Diffraction (NBD) mode in ...

Iodine pentoxide-aluminum thermite reactions have been driven by impacts at 1000 m/s on steel plates 3 mm or thicker. This reaction releases iodine gas that is known to be a sporicide. To test the impact reactions for ...

We demonstrate stable arsenic-silicon-oxide film formation during plasma doping of arsenic into non-planar silicon surfaces through investigation of the nature and stability of the ternary oxide using first principles ...

This paper combined experiments and simulation to investigate the grain size and cap layer effects on electromigration (EM) reliability of Cu interconnects. First the statistical distribution of EM lifetime and failure ...

Recent advance in controlling optical forces using nanostructures suggests that nanoscale optical waveguides are capable of generating coherent acoustic phonons efficiently through a combination of radiation pressure and ...

Previous studies show that surface wave transmission ratio across a surface breaking crack in concrete can be used as an indicator of the crack depth. However, due to inconsistent sensor coupling condition on rough concrete ...

New ab initio surfaces of the potential energies and the induced electric dipole moments of H-2-H-2 and H-2-He collisional complexes are obtained with H-2 bond distances from 0.942 to 2.801 bohr. These data permit the ...
