151 Williams, Clayton C.Direct imaging of SiO2 thickness variation on Si using modified atomic force microscopeFabrication techniques of metal-oxide-semiconductor ~(MOS) transistors have been improved very rapidly during the last several decades. With this trend, scaling down of MOS transistors is necessary to improve the speed of circuits and the packing density of discrete devices. Both lateral and vertic...Silicon dioxide; Oxide layer; Phosphorus ions; Oxide capacitance; Dopant profile1996-03-01
152 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDirectional emission from asymmetric microlaser resonators of ∏-conjugated polymersA ∏-conjugated polymer film was fabricated into an asymmetric microlaser resonator having a quadrapole deformation with irregular boundaries and a Q factor of 600. At high excitation intensities above the threshold for lasing, we observed multimode laser emission spectra and directional emission a...Directional emission; Asymmetric microlaser resonators; pi-conjugated polymers; DOO-PPV; poly(dioctyloxy) phenylene vinylene2004

155 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDisorder-induced TA Raman lines in mixed Cu-halide crystalsThe Raman spectra of CuClxBr1=x and CuBrxI1=x solid solutions are shown to contain extremely intense disorder-induced first-order TA phonons. The intensity of these lines is a function of the concentration x, and is highest in CuCl0.6oBr0.40. The TA spectrum, well resolved at low temperature, fits...Cuprous halides; CuBr; CuCl; CuI; mixed Cu-halide crystals1979-03
156 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A.Dispersion of resonant Raman scattering in ∏-conjugated polymers: role of the even parity excitonsResonant Raman scattering dispersion of the most strongly coupled phonon frequencies with the excitation laser photon energy is measured in terms of a dispersion rate parameter D and quantified in a variety of p conjugated polymer films.

158 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDouble-modulation electro-optic sampling for pump-and-probe ultrafast correlation measurementsWe describe a novel electro-optic double-modulation (DM) sampling technique for ultrafast transient spectroscopy, which is characterized by a superior signal-to-noise ratio compared to that of a regular single-modulation technique.

159 Mattis, Daniel C.Dynamic properties of a nonsuperfluid Bose liquid in the random-phase approximationThe dynamic structure factor S(k,w) of a nonideal Bose liquid is calculated within the random-phase approximation and compared with neutron scattering data by Cowley and Woods for liquid helium in the temperature range Tλ<T≤4.2°K, with the conclusion that the model is wholly inadequate. A low-f...Bose liquid; Random-phase approximation; Overdamping1974-11
160 Wu, Yong-ShiDynamics of giant-gravitons in the LLM geometry and the fractional quantum Hall effectThe LLM's 1/2 BPS solutions of IIB supergravity are known to be closely related to the integer quantum Hall droplets with filling factor v = 1, and the giant gravitons in the LLM geometry behave like the quasi-holes in those droplets. In this paper we consider how the fractional quantum Hall effect ...2006
161 Mattis, Daniel C.Dynamics of quasiparticles in the two-dimensional Hubbard modelThe Hubbard model at half-filling is a collective, antiferromagnetic insulator. We study added electrons or holes.

164 Gondolo, PaoloEffect of a late decaying scalar on the neutralino relic densityIf the energy density of the Universe before nucleosynthesis is dominated by a scalar field Ø that decays and reheats the plasma to a temperature TRH smaller than the standard neutralino freeze-out temperature, the neutralino relic density differs from its standard value.
