Abstract Electron and X-ray diffraction studies have identified three metastable phases in 1T TaS2. Extra reflexions are interpreted as arising from charge density waves coupled to periodic distortions modulating a trigonal lattice. These incommensurate with the matrix 1T1 1T2, but form commensurate super-lattice 1T3. Within temperature dependence of wave vector is correlated change cross-section Fermi surface, while diffuse scattering which accompanies discrete discussed an image this...
The progressive intercalation of graphite by potassium has been studied x-ray diffraction methods. It established that graphites stages 4, 3, 2 and 1 (with intercalated layers separated respectively) can be formed successively within a single sample encapsulated with excess potassium. Each stage was prepared in turn adjusting the temperature difference between specially designed double furnace. layer stacking sequences repeat distances for 2, 3 4 are AB| BC| CA| A c =26·2 5 Å ABA| ACA| 24·2...
Abstract Diffraction studies have enabled the deformation structure of 1T TaS2to be interpreted in terms charge density waves arising from a Kohn anomaly. There is good agreement between observed periodicity lattice distortion and value predicted Fermi surface based on recent band calculations.
The c/a ratios of the hexagonal AlN and BeO structures show that they do not have a regularly tetrahedral distribution bonds. structural details been studied by x-ray analysis are discussed in relation to concepts electronegativity electroneutrality atoms. This gives basis for an understanding wurtzite zinc blende lattices binary compounds group III/V II/VI elements.
Studies of the x-ray diffraction pattern from different potassium graphites have shown that intercalation graphite by is accompanied an expansion carbon layers. This uniform within a single layer and constant for all n layers separating successive intercalate in stagen compound composition C12nK (n > 1). Preferred values C-C bond length stages 1 to 6, derived value a-axis parameter extrapolated θ = 90° are:

We report the demonstration of a high-contrast (> 100:1), low-voltage multiple quantum well reflection modulator. The performance is achieved by using resonantly-enhanced electroabsorption in GaAs wells embedded spacer region an asymmetric Fabry-Pérot cavity, which at same time pin diode. Optimum contrast observed ≃860nm with only 9 V bias and ≈3.5dB insertion loss.
Experimental results are presented which suggest that the probability distribution of fluctuations in intensity laser light propagating through atmospheric turbulence reasonably well described by K distributions intermediate range propagation path lengths, L ≃ 600 m, β0≃1–2, where mean square fluctuation 〈I2〉 /〈I〉2 can be as high five.
The authors present a simple computer model for the electric field dependence of absorption semiconductor multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structure that will be used to optimize performance MQW modulators. This has been compared spectra derived from photocurrent measurements on GaAs/(GaAl)As p-i-n diode and it found well-established Stark shifts exciton subband continua energies are significantly overestimated. might linked uncertainty in knowing fields over wells; if drop 1.4 V somewhere device...

Line-of-sight free-space optical links can provide extremely high bandwidth communications, but this usually requires that transmitter and receiver are precisely aligned. In order to allow terminals be mobile, must able track users within their field of view so the link is maintained. There various means do this, all require complex subsystems with a number different optical, optoelectronic, electrical components. A solid-state tracking architecture introduced seven-channel system...
Abstract We report measurements of the statistical properties intensity fluctuations in a He/Ne laser beam which had propagated 1·125 km through earth's atmosphere. The size was such that as spherical wave, and atmospheric conditions most were made 'saturation' region (β0 ∼ 1-4). found (1) variance considerably larger than previously reported for plane wave propagation, (2) probability distribution derived moments close to K-distribution its moments. origin significance propagation is...

We have modelled the properties of a multiple quantum well pin diode optical modulator with natural semiconductor reflectivity (R ≈ 0.3) at its front surface and high reflector 0.95), such as an integrated quarterwave stack, back. By using resonant electroabsorption, rather than electrorefraction, our calculations show that it is possible to achieve contrast ratios over 200, less 3dB insertion loss.
Abstract Moments and the first order probability density function of intensity in a speckle pattern are considered as spectral bandwidth incident light. It is shown that standard deviation generally depends on surface roughness diffuser, position measurement far field. Numerical results given for diffuser with Gaussian distribution height limited by circular aperture. Exact approximate forms discussed. The analysis applies when fluctuations optical path greater than maximum wavelength incident.

By means Laue Bragg photographs, persistence crystal axes has observed a ‘normal cycle’ high → low high, but metastable form was also produced by particular sequence changes. There considerable hysteresis transformation single crystals. Introducing lattice disturbances...
Intercalated layers of alkali metals in C24Rb and C24Cs are disordered (liquid-like) at room temperature but undergo a reversible transformation to an ordered state (freeze) −114 °c −110 respectively. The origin structural differences between the form II these compounds that corresponding potassium compound, C24K, is discussed.
