On 10 April 1955 Ruth Ellis shot and killed her lover outside a north London pub. She was arrested on the spot tried for murder in Number One Court at Old Bailey; highly publicised trial short, jury took just over twenty minutes to reach guilty verdict. executed 12 July last woman be hanged England.

are maintained. If the etching depth is equal to an integral number of half-wavelengths, uniformly high reflectivity across the active L. Fan, M.C. Wu, H.C. Lee and P. Grodzinski . mesa is achieved. The top electrodes which simultaneously pump the phase-shifted and non-phase-shifted region are then deposited by evaporation and lift-off processes. Fig. 2 shows the scanning electron micrograph (S...

A time-efficient surface grinding and polishing procedure was developed to remove noise pitting associated with the etching of CR-39. CR-39 is a solid-state nuclear track detector used to measure and analyze ions produced by fusion implosions on the OMEGA and OMEGA EP laser systems. Using CR-39 thickness measurements acquired during the grinding process, surface removal rates of 68 µm/min and 5...

We present evidence of etching LiNbO3 when annealing two wafers in contact with an intermediate Ti strip. Etched features are characterized qualitatively using atomic force microscopy. The impact of the Ti strip thickness on the depth and roughness of the etched surface is quantified. Etched trenches of similar depths to the original Ti film are achieved with very smooth etched surface. © 2007 ...

Missing dimer vacancies are always present on the clean Si(OO1) surface. The vacancy density can be increased by ion bombardment (Xe+, Ar+), etching (0,, Bra,&, etc.) or Ni contamination. The equilibrium shape at low vacancy concentrations (~0.2-0.3 monolayers) of these vacancy islands is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the dimer rows of the upper terrace, whereas for higher vacancy c...

We demonstrate propagation of terahertz waves confined to a semiconductor surface that is periodically corrugated with V-shaped grooves. A one-dimensional array of V-grooves is fabricated on a highly-doped silicon surface, using anisotropic wet-etching of crystalline silicon, thereby forming a plasmonic waveguide. Terahertz time domain spectroscopy is used to characterize the propagation of wav...
