Laser path planning is an important step in solid freeform fabrication processes such as Stereolithography (SLA). An important consideration in the laser path planning is to compensate the shape of laser beam. Currently the compensation is divided into two steps, Z-compensation and X-Y compensation, and the shape of laser beam is assumed to be uniform for the whole platform. In this research, w...

Current rapid development in MEMS area has opened up many possibilities in nano-technology such as nano-fabrication. Among them is nanoscale wiring by both AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) tip and laser beam. Being able to make a relatively small deflection, a micro thermal actuator can be used to control the near field optics of the beam minutely and accurately. In this project, we will investiga...

We investigated the origin of broad luminescence observed from an array of site-controlled InGaN nanodots grown by selective area epitaxy (SAE). Epitaxially grown site-controlled nanodots with lateral dimensions <50 nm and an array density of 10 cm 2 have been studied. During the nanoscale SAE, incorporation of adatoms from the SiO2 mask has greater relative importance, resulting in a non-unifo...

In this article, transverse vibration of a cantilever nano- beam with functionally graded materials and carrying a concentrated mass at the free end is studied. Material properties of FG beam are supposed to vary through thickness direction of the constituents according to power-law distribution (P-FGM). The small scale effect is taken into consideration based on nonlocal elasticity theory of E...

For a long time power pattern synthesis has been considered to produce shaped beam patterns due to the number of degrees of freedom when compared with field pattern synthesis. However, several advantages exist if synthesis techniques are based on field patterns, since the relationship between the array factor and the source distribution is a Fourier transform. In this case, quicker and efficien...

In addition to being observable in laboratory experiments, internal wave beams are reported in geophysical settings, which are characterized by nonuniform density stratifications. Here, we perform a combined theoretical and experimental study of the propagation of internal wave beams in nonuniform density stratifications. Transmission and reflection coefficients, which can differ greatly for di...

this mini review article, intends to provide the essential information about microemulsion technique as a reliable approach toward the synthesis of zeolitic nano crystallites. the strategy discussed here provides a unique, effective, and potentially general methodology to the preparation of uniform and high purity nano crystallites of template-free zeolitic materials including lta, faujasite ty...
