176 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineLaser action in conducting polymersWe discuss both cooperative radiation and stimulated emission and consider their role in spectral narrowing of luminescent conducting polymers. We argue that cooperative radiation is favored in films with poor optical confinement. On the other hand, directional stimulated emission can be observed in...Laser action; Cooperative radiation; Stimulated emission; PPV; Disubstituted polyacetylene; Excitons; Spectral narrowing; Plastic lasers; Superfluorescence; Microcavity lasers1997
177 Liu, FengOrigin of intergranular embrittlement of Al alloys induced by Na and Ca segregation: grain boundary weakeningUsing a first-principles computational tensile test, we show that the ideal tensile strength of an Al grain boundary (GB) is reduced with both Na and Ca GB segregation. We demonstrate that the fracture occurs in the GB interface, dominated by the break of the interfacial bonds. Experimentally, we f...Intergranular embrittlement; Grain boundary; Intergranular fracture2006-06
178 Kuhlman, BrianPHD EntrepreneurThe idea for this speech began when my friends and family started asking what I would do after graduating with my PhD in psychology. Folks tended to get a bit confused when I replied that my plan is to start a business. You don't need a PhD to do that! It's true. The path leading from PhD to Entrepr...entrepreneur; PhD; doctoral; industry; academia2013-05-03

187 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Fundamentals of vapor phase epitaxial growth processesThe first success with the growth of semiconductor materials by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) dates back to the 1950's. Today, it is the largest volume technique for the production of both Si and HI/V electronic and photonic devices. Of course, commercial processes for the growth of Si layers, dielectri...Vapor phase epitaxy; Surfactants2007
188 Gray, Kathryn E.Linguistic support for unit testingExisting systems for writing unit tests exploit built-in language constructs, such as reflection, to simulate the addition of testing constructs. While these simulations provide the minimally necessary functionality, they fail to support testing properly in many instances. In response, we have ...Java; Testing; Unit testing2007
