Movement of water in vadose zone, mainly focusing on infiltration and percolation that involves percolation of water under gravity from soil surface and redistribution which is the capillary rise of water movement upwards, is presented. In the global hydrologic cycle, 76% of the precipitating water enters the soil via percolation-infiltration, which leads to the downward movement of water (L’vovich 1974). The water used by natural processes, can move downwards due to infiltration and lift from groundwater table during natural redistribution process. The forecasting of water movement in unsaturated infiltration redistribution system is linked between soil hydraulic properties and hydrologic condition …

The discovery that short pulses of near-infrared radiation striking a semiconductor may lead to emission of radiation at terahertz frequencies paved the way for terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Previous modeling has allowed the physical mechanisms to be understood in general terms but it has not fully explored the role of key physical parameters of the emitter material nor has it fully revealed the competing nature of the surface-field and photo-Dember effects. In this context, our purpose has been to more fully explicate the mechanisms of terahertz emission from transient currents at semiconductor surfaces and to determine the criteria for efficient emission. …

Geant4 is a Monte Carlo simulation Toolkit, describing the interactions of particles with matter. Geant4 is widely used in radiation physics research, from High Energy Physics, to medical physics and space science, thanks to its sophisticated physics component, coupled with advanced functionality in geometry description. Geant4 is widely used at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP), at the University of Wollongong, to characterise and optimise novel detector concepts, radiotherapy treatments, and imaging solutions. This lecture consists of an introduction to Monte Carlo method, and to Geant4. Particular attention will be devoted to the Geant4 physics component, and to the …
