Evolution of the Internet Topology and Traffic Dynamics of Data Packets
In recent years, the Internet has become one of the most influential media in our daily life, going beyond in its role as the basic infrastructure in... -
4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve... -
Aid of Scaling Laws in the Achievement of a Well-Controlled Film Deposition Process
Scaling laws are profitably applied in all the scientific disciplines. Approximated solutions constitute a valuable aid for the analysis of complex... -
Vibrational Spectroscopy in Ion–Irradiated Carbon–Based Thin Films
In this work we present and discuss some selected experiments on ion–irradiated carbon–based thin films. Vibrational spectroscopy is used to... -
Laser Ablation-Deposited CN x Thin Films
Amorphous CN x thin films were deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation of graphite targets in a... -
Elastic and Structural Properties of Carbon Materials Investigated by Brillouin Light Scattering
Brillouin light scattering (BS) is a nondestructive technique exploited to investigate collective excitations in solids: acoustic phonons, spin... -
Pulsed Laser Deposition of Carbon Films: Tailoring Structure and Properties
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a versatile technique to synthesize films of a given material with strongly different properties. In this chapter we... -
Growth and Room Temperature Spin Polarization of Half-metallic Epitaxial CrO2 and Fe3O4 Thin Films
Potential applications of systems based on half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) in magneto- and spinelectronics including spin injectors, magnetic field... -
Optical Analysis of Monolayers at Surfaces and Interfaces
Surface as well as interface properties are crucial for tailoring advanced materials, especially if the structure size in one or more dimensions... -
AlGaN/GaN Electrolyte-Gate Field-Effect Transistors as Transducers for Bioelectronic Devices
AlGaN/GaN electrolyte gate field-effect transistors are assessed as a transducer device for biosensor applications. Their low-frequency noise power... -
Synchronization in Complex Networks
The study of complex systems pervades all of science, from cell biology to ecology, from computer science to meteorology. A paradigm of a complex... -
Data Traffic, Topology and Congestion
We consider the interaction between the topology of a network and the tra.c carried along its channels. The binding elements between the topology and... -
Ion Microscopy on Diamond
Because of its physical properties (strong radiation hardness, wide energy gap with a consequent extremely low dark current, very large electron and... -
Raman Spectroscopy and Optical Properties of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon Films
The Raman spectroscopy and optical characterization of amorphous hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon films is described. The samples were prepared by... -
Correlation Between Local Structure and Film Properties in Amorphous Carbon Materials
A discussion of the various amorphous carbon and amorphous hydrogenated carbon films is presented. A link between sp 2, sp... -
Magnetic Interactions in Granular Paramagnetic-Ferromagnetic GaAs:Mn/MnAs Hybrids
The paramagnetic-ferromagnetic hybrid structure with a Curie temperature above room temperature formed by metallic MnAs clusters embedded in a... -
Exchange Interactions and Magnetic Percolation in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors
We propose a theory that combines first-principles evaluations of interatomic exchange interactions with a classical Heisenberg model and Monte Carlo... -
Carrier Induced Ferromagnetism in Concentrated and Diluted Local-Moment Systems
For modeling the electronic and magnetic properties of concentrated and diluted magnetic semiconductors we use the s-f model (ferromagnetic... -
Thermodynamics – Past, Present and Future
We begin with historical remarks on the basic contributions to thermodynamics and statistics with some bias to scientists working in Berlin as... -
Dynamical Variational Principles for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
The self-energy-functional approach (SFA) is discussed in the context of different variational principles for strongly correlated electron systems....
