This study aims at achieving highly crystalline and smooth Nitrogen-polar (N-polar) GaN layers deposited on c-plane sapphire by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The influence of nitridation, temperature and V/III ratio on the polarity, quality and coalescence of GaN is systematically investigated. It was observed that the initial nitridation of sapphire before GaN growth is critical f...

Lens effect was obtained in an open microfluidic system by using a thin layer of liquid on a polar electric crystal like LiNbO3. An array of liquid micro-lenses was generated by electrowetting effect in pyroelectric periodically poled crystals. Compared to conventional electrowetting devices, the pyroelectric effect allowed to have an electrode-less and circuit-less configuration. An interferom...

In this study, the effect of thermal radiation on micro-polar fluid flow over a wavy surface is studied. The optically thick limit approximation for the radiation flux is assumed. Prandtl’s transposition theorem is used to stretch the ordinary coordinate system in certain directions. The wavy surface can be transferred into a calculable plane coordinate system. The governing equations of micro-...

ABSTRACT: The interface between granular bodies and structures is analysed with the finite element method and a micro-polar hypoplastic constitutive model. Shearing of an infinite long and narrow granular strip between two walls of different roughness under conditions of free dilatancy and constant vertical pressure is investigated. The constitutive model can reproduce the essential features of...

In this paper the mechanical behavior of a soilbag under an increasing vertical compression is numerically investigated using a micro-polar continuum approach. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the interaction between the filling material and the bag on the evolution of the stress strain behavior of the soilbag structure. The mechanical behavior of the cohesionless granular mater...

A Rectangular to Polar coordinate converter based on scaling free vectoring CORDIC is proposed in this research paper. Polar coordinates are most appropriate for the systems displaying radial symmetry. Here scaling free CORDIC algorithm operating in vectoring mode computes Polar coordinate of input vector i.e. absolute magnitude and phase angle from its rectangular coordinate. Using this algori...

Unprecedented and fascinating phenomena have been recently observed at oxide interfaces between centrosymmetric cubic materials, where polar discontinuities can give rise to polarization charges and electric fields that drive a metal-insulator transition and the appearance of a two-dimensional electron gas. Lower-dimensional analogues are possible, and honeycomb lattices offer a fertile playgro...

we present observation of polar coronal hole plumes with foot point jets that shows evidence of longitudinal acceleration. the series of event, occurring in the north coronal hole on 10 july 2010, was observed by the aia telescopes of the solar dynamic observatory (sdo mission) in the euv lines, with unprecedented details. the structures along the plume show a propagating outward velocity of ab...
