Thin electron beam propagation in plasmas
The propagation of dense electron beams and the interaction with the ambient plasmas are studied by using two-dimensional electrostatic simulations. When the width of the beam is of the order of electron gyro-...

Effects of grain size on the electrical properties of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 ceramics
(space group: P4mm) in the ferroelectric phase and Oh(m3m) in the paraelectric phase. From the hysteresis loop measurements, we obtained the remanent polarization and calculated the squareness of our samples as ...

Multi-Stage Adaptive Noise Cancellation for Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation
A major source of noise or clutter in ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications is due to the grain structure of the material. The scattering of ultrasonic waves from grain boundaries can interfe...

Head-On Collisions of Isothermal Clouds
Using our three-dimensional hydrodynamics code BTSPH (Binary Tree SPH; Kim et al. 1994), we have simulated the head-on collisions between two identical clouds with 8000 particles. As an initial cloud we take an i...

Buffer-gas loaded magnetic traps for atoms and molecules: A primer
Over the past three years we have developed the technique of buffer-gas cooling and loading of atoms and molecules into magnetic traps. Buffer-gas cooling relies solely on elastic collisions (thermalization) o...

Critical dimensions for YBCO islands grown by pulsed laser deposition
Islands of constant width at half maximum of approximately 100 nm have been observed during the pulsed laser deposition of films of nominal thickness from 0.7 to 3.0 nm of the material YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) on substr...

Applications of electron microscopy to the characterization of semiconductor nanowires
We review our current progress on semiconductor nanowires of β-Ga2O3, Si and GaN. These nanowires were grown using both vapor–solid (VS) and vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanisms. Using transmission electron micros...
