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... -
The Four–Dimensional Spacetime
Physics theories are made by building mathematical models that correspond to physical systems. General Relativity, the physical theory of... -
Momentum and Energy Relations
The equations of motion (5.12) for the charged insulating sphere of radius a moving with arbitrary center velocity u(t) can be rewritten in... -
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... -
Boundary Conditions
Most Numerical Relativity simulations are devised to approximate the time evolution of the dynamical fields starting from data given on an initial... -
Electrical Characterization of Rare Earth Oxides Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition
In this contribution, we investigate the electrical properties of thin (3–30 nm) Lu2O3 and Yb2O3 oxides grown on silicon by atomic layer depostion.... -
Rare Earth Oxides Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy for Ultimate Scaling
Combination of lanthanum and other rare earth oxides with HfO2 yields stable compounds which withstand transistor processing and have low gate... -
Atomic Layer Deposition of Rare Earth Oxides
The principles of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) for thin film growth are briefly introduced, emphasizing the aspects of a self-limiting mechanism.... -
Sesquioxides as Host Materialsfor Rare-Earth-Doped Bulk Lasersand Active Waveguides
This Chapter focuses on the optical applications of rare-earth oxides. Due to their thermo-mechanical properties, the sesquioxides of yttrium,... -
Derivation of Force and Power Equations
The inconsistency between the power and force equations of motion, (2.4) and (2.1) or (2.5), is so surprising that one is tempted to question the... -
Internal Binding Forces
In Appendix B, we have critically confirmed the evaluation of the self electromagnetic force and power, (3.1) and (3.2), leading to the force and... -
Astrophysical Bounds on Planck Suppressed Lorentz Violation
This article reviews many of the observational constraints on Lorentz symmetry violation (LV). We first describe the GZK cuto. and other phenomena... -
Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations of Quantum-Mechanical Origin
This review article aims at presenting the theory of inflation. We first describe the background spacetime behavior during the slow-roll phase and... -
Formation, Atomic Structures and Properties of Carbon Nanocage Materials
Various carbon nanocage fullerene materials (clusters, metallofullerenes, onions, nanotubes, nanohorns and nanocapsules) were synthesized by...
