The objective of this paper is to present a general strategy for design optimization of flattop interleavers, and dispersion compensation for the interleavers, in order to achieve superior optical performance. The interleaver is formed by two multi-cavity Gire-Tournois etalons (MC-GTE) in a Michelson Interferometer (MI). An interleaver that has m cavities in one etalon and n cavities in the oth...

Various refined potentials describing the intraand inter-molecular force fields of water molcculcs arc used to calculate the properties of the gas-phase water dimer. The intra-molecular parts have been taken from spectroscopic or quantum-chemical sources. The minimum energy structure was found iteratively using the first derivatives of the potential; the force-constant matrix was con­ structed ...

This perspectives article takes a broad view of the current understanding of magnetic bistability and magnetic quantum tunneling in single-molecule magnets (SMMs), focusing on three families of relatively simple, low-nuclearity transition metal clusters: spin S = 4 Ni(II)(4), Mn(III)(3) (S = 2 and 6) and Mn(III)(6) (S = 4 and 12). The Mn(III) complexes are related by the fact that they contain ...

background: genome instability is a main cause of chromosomal alterations in both somatic and germ cells when exposed to environmental, physical and chemical genotoxicants. germ cells especially spermatozoa are more vulnerable to suffering from dna damaging agents during spermatogenesis and also more potent in transmitting genome instability to next generation. methods: to investigate the effec...

(Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)N are so called diluted magnetic semiconductors, i.e. semiconductor based materials made ferromagnetic by inclusion of a magnetic element—in this case Mn. This type of materials bridge over the incompatibilities in metal–semiconductor interfaces in electronics components and have an enormous potential for future spintronics applications, where both charge and spin degrees o...

zno and mn-zno nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (edx) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of zno and mn-doped zno was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. ...

We have prepared and characterized a few Mn (III) complexes by using a few bidentate and tridentate ligands. Spectra of the manganese (III) ion in a variety of molecular environments are reported. On the basis of solution spectra, some of these complexes seem to be typically distorted
