We have found 100 X-ray jets in the database of full Sun images taken with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh during the period from 1991 November through 1992 April. A statistical study for these jets results in the following characteristics: 1) Most are associated with small flares (microflaressubflares) at their footpoints. 2) The lengths lie in the range of a few x 10-4 x 10 km. 3...

Closed-form analytical expressions and normalized charts provide the conditions for the maximum sensitivity of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) evanescent-wave step-index waveguide sensors. The analysis covers both cases where the measurand is homogeneously distributed in the semi-infinite waveguide cover, and where it is an ultrathin film at the waveguide-cover interface.

We present a systematic study of the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal TM atomic chains adsorbed on the zigzag single-wall carbon nanotubes SWNTs . We considered the adsorption on the external and internal wall of SWNT and examined the effect of the TM coverage and geometry on the binding energy and the spin polarization at the Fermi level. All those adsorbed chains studied...

Transition metal and heteroatom co-doped carbon nanomaterials (TM-H-C) are considered to be the most promising candidates replace expensive platinum-based catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Herein, we report a semi-closed molten salt-assisted one-step strategy fabricating N-P-Fe-tridoped porous nanotube (CNT) by using evaporation of ZnCl2 catalysis iron ions control heteroatoms dop...

An exact solution is obtained for the electromagnetic field due to an electric current in the presence of a surface conductivity model of graphene. The graphene is represented by an infinitesimallythin, local and isotropic two-sided conductivity surface. The field is obtained in terms of dyadic Green’s functions represented as Sommerfeld integrals. The solution of plane-wave reflection and tran...

The existence of unguided TM and TE Gaussian beams is derived in a simple way from the wave equation for the vector potential, and the field configurations are discussed. We point out the possibility of a new type of free-electron laser.

to use remote sensing data effectively, one must understand the spectral characteristics of the particular features under investigations. to study the relationship between soil salinity and soil reflectance, four multispectral scanners (mss) and seven thematic mappers (tm bands) over the ardakan playa located on the central iranian desert margins were selected. in this study soil map, soil ...

We study both linear and nonlinear surface waves localized at the interface separating a left-handed (LH) medium (i.e., a medium with both negative dielectric permittivity and negative magnetic permeability) and a conventional [or right-handed (RH)] dielectric medium. We demonstrate that the interface can support both TE- and TM-polarized surface waves-surface polaritons, and we study their pro...

A full-wave solution to the problem of electromagnetic wave focusing with two-dimensional convex dielectric lens of canonical cross-section formed by two circular arcs. Focusing effect is simulated for two polarizations of incident plane waves, TE and TM. Based on these simulations, an approximate method is proposed to reproduce the full-wave solution with reasonable accuracy for lenses of rela...
