Absorption Coefficient in Periodic InAs/GaAs Nanostructures

Confined diffusion in periodic porous nanostructures.

We performed fluorescence correlation spectroscopy measurements to assess the long-time self-diffusion of a variety of spherical tracer particles in periodic porous nanostructures. Inverse opal structures with variable cavity sizes and openings in the nanometer domain were employed as the model system. We obtained both the exponent of the scaling relation between mean-square displacement and ti...

Enhancing the absorption coefficient of a backed rigid frame porous layer by embedding circular periodic inclusions.

The acoustic properties of a porous sheet of medium static air flow resistivity (around 10,000 N m s(-4)), in which a periodic set of circular inclusions is embedded and which is backed by a rigid plate, are investigated. The inclusions and porous skeleton are assumed motionless. Such a structure behaves like a multi-component diffraction grating. Numerical results show that this structure pres...

Diffusion coefficient in periodic and random potentials.

Transport and diffusion of particles on modulated surfaces is a nonequilibrium problem which is receiving a great deal of attention due to its technological applications, but analytical calculations are scarce. In earlier work, we developed a perturbative approach to begin to provide an analytic platform for predictions about particle trajectories over such surfaces. In some temperature and for...

Absorption in periodic layered structures

Photonic band structure of metal-dielectric and semiconductor-dielectric layered structures are studied in the presence of a strong absorption. It is shown that absorption can enlarge some gaps by as much as 50%. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
