In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...

Abstract—Holevo’s just-as-good fidelity is a similarity measure for quantum states that has found several applications. One of its critical properties is that it obeys a data processing inequality: the measure does not decrease under the action of a quantum channel on the underlying states. In this paper, I prove a refinement of this data processing inequality that includes an additional term r...

Neophytou Institute for Microelectronics, Technical University of Vienna, Wien, Austria, and School of Engineering, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK Tel.: +43 58801 36030 Fax: +43 58801 36099 Abstract Holey silicon has been considered a viable candidate as a thermoelectric material in view of its low thermal conductivity. However, since voids are efficient scattering centers not just for ...

mTORC1 is activated primarily on the lysosome. Menon et al. and Demetriades et al. show that mTORC1 deactivation on the lysosome is determined by recruitment of its negative regulator, the tumor suppressor complex TSC1-TSC2. These reports highlight the importance of subcellular localization in the regulation of mTORC1.

silicon thin layers are deposited on glass substrates with the thickness of 103 nm, 147 nm and 197 nm. the layers are produced with electron gun evaporation method under ultra-high vacuum condition. the optical reectance and the transmittance of produced layers were measured by using spectrophotometer. the optical functions such as, real and imaginary part of refractive index, real and imaginar...
