A nonmean-field model for the ripening of two-dimensional islands is presented. In this model, the adatom sea is divided into many small cells that are the poly
Surface and cross-sectional residual stresses of electrochemical etching porous silicon are investigated quantitatively by micro-Raman spectroscopy.The results
Aiming at understanding how a liquid film on a substrate affects the atomic force microscopic image in experiments, we present an analytical representation of t
Local polarization of a sol-gel-derived (Pb,La)(Zr, Ti)O3 thin film is studied from its piezoelectric response measured by using atomic force microscopy. Topogr
We show that, due to the nonlinear coupling between a wavepacket superposed by short-wavelength collective modes and a long-wavelength mean field generated by t
A 10 GHz regeneratively mode-lockedfibre laser (RMLFL) at 1550nm constructed with commercially available radio frequency components is presented. Chirp-free hyp
