The magnetic properties of 1 nm thick in-plane anisotropic Co ultrathin film on ZnO(0001) were investigated through successive 500 eV nitrogen-ion sputtering. Magneto-optical Faraday effects were used to observe the evolution of the ion-irradiated sample in longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic fields. The ferromagnetic phase of the initial in-plane anisotropic fcc β-Co phase transformation t...

The similarities and differences between two types of surface waves that can exist on a plane metal-lossless dielectric interface, on the one hand, and on a plane lossy-lossless dielectric interface, on the other hand, are analyzed numerically. They both can lead to total absorption of light by surface relief gratings and show different behavior in transmission by lamellar gratings.

The plane-strain bulge test is a powerful new technique for measuring the mechanical properties of thin films. In this technique, the stress–strain curve of a thin film is determined from the pressure-deflection behavior of a long rectangular membrane made of the film of interest. For a thin membrane in a state of plane strain, film stress and stain are distributed uniformly across the membrane...

TiO2 (001) crystal plane exhibits molecular adsorption and photocatalytic activity. The loading capacity of reactive oxygen species present on planes helps in the significant improvement catalytic methods synthesis conditions existence significantly affect properties planes, which turn affects ability system to load species. Herein, we report simulation behavior using density functional theory ...

We deal with different properties of a smooth and strictly convex body that depend on the behavior of the planar sections of the body parallel to and close to a given tangent plane. The first topic is boundary points where any given convex domain in the tangent plane can be approximated by a sequence of suitably rescaled planar sections (so-called p-universal points). In the second topic, the g...

Modern network interfaces demand highly intelligent traffic management in addition to the basic requirement of wire speed packet forwarding. Several vendors are releasing network processors in order to handle these demands. Network workloads can be classified into data plane and control plane workloads, however most network processors are optimized for data plane. Also, existing benchmark suite...

Given a solid in R3 whose base is contained in the xy-plane and parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the xy-plane are regular polygons, the volume and surface area are determined. Additionally, the asymptotic behavior of the solid as the number of sides of the crosssectional polygon increases is analyzed.
