Complex metal-organic frameworks used as precursors allow design and construction of various nanostructured functional materials which might not be accessible by other methods. Here, we develop a sequential chemical etching and sulfurization strategy to prepare well-defined double-shelled zinc-cobalt sulfide (Zn-Co-S) rhombic dodecahedral cages (RDCs). Yolk-shelled zinc/cobalt-based zeolitic im...

The Rosetta Stone Methodology (RSM) has been developed which allows organizations to undertake Software Process Improvement (SPI) based on businessand organizational-driven goals and objectives. The methodology itself is fully customizable and allows organizations to make adjustments to the model where they feel it appropriate. To demonstrate the usefulness, appropriateness and practicality of ...

modeling is one of the most interesting areas in various fields of science. unfortunately data quality, which has an important role in the modeling, is not considered. in fact, most often processes encounter disturbances which results in the collection of abnormal data and may lead to a model different from the real behavior of the process. on the other hand, most of real industrial processes a...

This paper demonstrates the design of high-isolation millimeter-wave monolithic integrated switches using MOCVD-grown InGaAs/InP PIN diodes as switching devices. W-band single-pole single-throw switch using double shunt diode topology allowed significant improvement of isolation while keeping insertion loss low. The SPST switch used two InGaAs PIN diodes and demonstrated better than 35dB isolat...

The performance of nondeterministic nonlinear gates in linear optics relies on the photon counting scheme being employed and the efficiencies of the detectors in such schemes. We assess the performance of the nonlinear sign gate, which is a critical component of linear optical quantum computing, for two standard photon counting methods: the double detector array and the visible light photon cou...

We report on the spin dynamics of a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas in a AlxGa1−xAs/AlAs double quantum well structure. For high electron density samples, the gfactor was measured using time-resolved Kerr rotation technique. The g-factor tuning capability was observed by changing the aluminum content x independently in each well. Experiments demonstrated an unusual spin dephasing tim...

We have developed a simple method adopting double-patterning technique to extend the I-line stepper limit for the sub-100 nm poly-Si pattern generation in this work. Through in-line and cross-sectional scanned electron microscopic analyses of the generated patterns, we confirmed the feasibility of the double-patterning technique for the fabrication of nano-scale devices. Resolution capability o...

This article introduces chirp spread spectrum technology (CSS for short) and optimized location algorithm. Symmetric double-sided two way ranging technique (SDS– TWR for short) is applied to improve accuracy and range of measurement. Linear frequency modulation ranging technology utilizes protocols combining CSMA / CA and TDMA, and adjusts dynamically transmission rate and frame length accordin...

We develop a new strategy to prepare quantum dot (QD) barcode particles by polymerizing double-emulsion droplets prepared in capillary microfluidic devices. The resultant barcode particles are composed of stable QD-tagged core particles surrounded by hydrogel shells. These particles exhibit uniform spectral characteristics and excellent coding capability, as confirmed by photoluminescence analy...
