Galvanomagnetic Effect in Tri-layered Py/Cu/Py Ring Structures

Effect Algebras and Ring-like Structures

The dichotomic physical quantities, also called propositions, can be naturally associated to maps of the set of states into the real interval [0,1]. We show that the structure of effect algebra associated to such maps can be represented by quasiring structures, which are a generalization of Boolean rings, in such a way that the ring operation of addition can be non-associative and the ring mult...

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.

Magnetoexcitons in quantum-ring structures: a novel magnetic interference effect

A novel magnetic interference effect is proposed for a neutral, but polarizable exciton in a quantum ring with a finite width. The magnetic interference effect originates from the nonzero dipole moment in the exciton. The ground state of exciton acquires a nonzero angular momentum with increasing normal magnetic field. This leads to the suppression of the photoluminescence in defined windows of...

B 7 Galvanomagnetic Transport: from Hall Effect to AMR

Tri-layered elastomeric scaffolds for engineering heart valve leaflets.

Tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) that can grow and remodel have the potential to serve as permanent replacements of the current non-viable prosthetic valves particularly for pediatric patients. A major challenge in designing functional TEHVs is to mimic both structural and anisotropic mechanical characteristics of the native valve leaflets. To establish a more biomimetic model of TEHV, we...
