Dynamical Theory of Parametric X-ray Radiation
Previous chapters demonstrate a close analogue between the theory of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) in thin crystals and the kinematic theory of... -
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... -
Radiation from a Charged Particle in Periodic Media: Classical Theory
The method of pseudophotons, considered in the previous chapter, is convenient for qualitative analysis of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR). PXR in... -
Prospective Applications of PXR
The previous chapters concern the fundamental properties of PXR, which have been experimentally observed and theoretically explained. The most recent... -
Electromagnetic Radiation from a Charged Particle in Crystals: Qualitative Consideration
Electromagnetic radiation caused by motion of a charged particle has been studied for more than 100 years. It was firmly believed for an appreciable... -
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... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
C Appendix: The Discrete DLMI Method
We consider the following system: $$ x_{k+1}=A_kx_k + B_k w_k, \quad k=0,1,... -
Formation, Atomic Structures and Properties of Carbon Nanocage Materials
Various carbon nanocage fullerene materials (clusters, metallofullerenes, onions, nanotubes, nanohorns and nanocapsules) were synthesized by... -
Defects in CVD Diamond Films from Their Response as Nuclear Detectors
CVD diamond films can be used to realize nuclear detectors with outstanding working capability in harsh environments. Since efficient particle... -
Simulations of Solar AO Systems
In this paper, first we compare the two kinds of algorithms that are being used in solar AO systems to sense a distorted wave-front through... -
Search for Sub-Stellar Companions Using AO – First Results Obtained with NAOS-CONICA
We present first results of our NAOS-CONICA search for close substellar companions around young nearby stars. This program was started only a few... -
Near-Infrared AO Spectroscopy of Edge-On Protoplanetary Disks with Subaru IRCS
We carried out near infrared (1.4–4.2 μm) AO imaging and spectroscopy of two edge-on protoplanetary disks; HK TauB and HV TauC located in Taurus...
