Calculations Of Surface Effects On Phonon Modes And Raman Intensities Of Ge Quantum Dots, Shang-Fen Ren, Wei Cheng

Faculty publications – Physics

Phonon modes and Raman intensities of Ge quantum dots (QDs) with two different types of surfaces, a free standing surface or a fixed surface, in a size range from five atoms to 7 nm in diameter, are calculated by using a microscopic valence force field model. The results are compared, and the effects of surfaces on phonon properties of QDs are investigated. It is found that phonon modes and Raman intensities of QDs with these two different types of surfaces have obvious differences which clearly reveal the effects of the surfaces of QDs. The calculated results agree with existing experimental …

Tuning The Transition Temperature Of Superconducting Ag/Pb Films Via The Proximity Effect, Richard P. Barber Jr., Ben Kain, S. R. Khan

Physics

We report measurements of the transition temperature (TC) of superconducting films composed of various combinations of Ag and Pb layers. For samples with good electrical contact between the layers, the measured TC values show reasonable agreement with the Cooper model of the proximity effect. In poorly coupled samples, the normal layers appear to cause little if any suppression of the TC. We present a simple predictive expression for TC as a function of Ag content.

The Effects Of Self-Esteem Instruction For Children With Disabilities, James Henderson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of self-esteem instruction for children with disabilities. Academic achievement, attitudes toward school and learning, and attitudes toward peers were measured prior to ninety days of self-esteem direct instruction. A total of 72 children with disabilities from grade 1 to 3 in 3 elementary schools in the same community participated. They were divided into both control and experimental groups in 3 elementary schools with a total of 3 experiment and 3 control groups. Three special education teachers provided self-esteem direct instruction to the experimental groups according to the same lesson plans …

This edition of the College of Wooster's student run newspaper is twelve pages long. Ground is expected to be broke for the building of the new dorm, Bornhuetter, in May of 2003. The college officials are brainstorming areas where funding could be cut to resolve the $1.8 million deficit. A new committee will meet in December to discuss the possibility of a new honor code. Students received newly formatted degree audits in their mailbox last Friday. Vanessa Lange writes how going to the College of Wooster has put her in a bubble, not knowing any of the current pop culture. …

Photoacoustic Study Of Krf Laser Heating Of Si: Implications For Laser Particle Removal, Sergey I. Kudryashov, Susan D. Allen

Mechanical Engineering - Daytona Beach

A photoacoustic study of KrF laser heating of Si has revealed that the dominant mechanism of acoustic generation is thermoacoustic with a considerable contribution from the concentration-deformation mechanism at laser fluences below the Si melting threshold of 0.5 J/cm ². Upon Si melting the contraction of the molten material contributes significantly to acoustic generation. At fluences above 1.4 J/cm ² laser ablation of the molten layer enhances the amplitude of the compression pulse and diminishes that of the rarefaction pulse. The results of photoacoustic measurements allow optimization of experimental conditions for dry laser particle removal.

Intersubband Spin-Density Excitations In Quantum Wells With Rashba Spin Splitting, Carsten A. Ullrich, M. E. Flatté

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In inversion-asymmetric semiconductors, spin-orbit coupling induces a κ-dependent spin splitting of valence and conduction bands, which is a well-known cause for spin decoherence in bulk and heterostructures. Manipulating nonequilibrium spin coherence in device applications thus requires understanding how valence and conduction band spin splitting affects carrier spin dynamics. This paper studies the relevance of this decoherence mechanism for collective intersubband spin-density excitations (SDE's) in quantum wells. A density-functional formalism for the linear spin-density matrix response is presented that describes SDE's in the conduction band of quantum wells with subbands that may be nonparabolic and spin split due to bulk or …

A Socioeconomic And Biological Evaluation Of Current And Hypothetical Crappie Regulations In Sardis Lake, Mississippi: An Integrated Approach, Brian Dorr, Ian A. Munn, Keith O. Meals

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

We conducted a socioeconomic survey and review of existing biological data in an integrated evaluation of current and hypothetical fishery regulations on crappies Pomoxis spp. in Sardis Lake, Mississippi. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess angler acceptance of current and hypothetical harvest restrictions, (2) determine the recreational value of the crappie fishery to its participants, (3) estimate possible changes in recreational value based on angler responses to hypothetical regulations, and (4) integrate the results of the socioeconomic surveys with existing biological information. Using the travel cost method, we estimated mean expenditures at US$29.48 and average consumer surplus …
