Applied Physics

A portable modular gas sensor for measuring the 13 C/ 12 C isotopic ratio in CO 2 with a precision of 0.8%o(±1σ) was developed for volcanic gas emission studies. This sensor employed a difference frequency generation (DFG)-based spectroscopic source operating at 4.35 µm (∼ 2300 cm −1) in combination with a dual-chamber gas absorption cell. Direct absorption spectroscopy using this specially des...

Solar Physics Publication Ethics Policies

An effective, ethical publication process in peer-reviewed journals, such as Solar Physics, requires professional behaviour from the authors, referees, and editors and good collaboration among all. Although lapses of ethical conduct are rare in the solar physics community, breaches do arise, and we wish to share our thinking on these issues, which is very much in line with that of other journal...

Applied Physics Letters

A simple technique is explored to determine the temporal photo-response, s, of individual semiconducting SiC and Si nanowires (NWs), with a high time resolution. Laser-assisted field emission (LAFE) from the NWs is first shown to be highly sensitive to continuous laser illumination. Pulsed illumination is then combined with measurements of the total energy distributions to determine s which wer...
