Transformation Of Fresnel’S Interface Reflection And Transmission Coefficients Between Normal And Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam Apr 1979

Transformation Of Fresnel’S Interface Reflection And Transmission Coefficients Between Normal And Oblique Incidence, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

If w denotes an interface Fresnel reflection or transmission coefficient for s- or p-polarized light at an oblique angle of incidence ø, and z denotes the same coefficient at normal incidence, we find that w is an analytic function of z, w = ƒ(z), that depends on ø but not on the specific optical properties of the two media on both sides of the interface. All four functions that correspond to the four distinct Fresnel coefficients and their inverses are determined. We single out for detailed examination, as an example, the relationship between the reflection of s -polarized light at …

Synchronization Strategies, Mishell J. Stucki, Jerome R. Cox Jr Apr 1979

Synchronization Strategies, Mishell J. Stucki, Jerome R. Cox Jr

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

Computing systems are now frequently composed of independently clocked subsystems that cooperate to perform the function desired for the whole. This type of architecture has many advantages and promises to be the standard for the foreseeable future. With the trend towards more and more gates per chip, the number of chips per subsystem gets smaller and smaller, and we can expect to soon see one or more subsystems per chip. This transition will require contributions from disciplines previously outside the field of chip design, and every issue will have to be carefully worked out beforehand because debugging chips of this …

Reflection Of An Electromagnetic Plane Wave With 0 Or Π Phase Shift At The Surface Of An Absorbing Medium, R. M.A. Azzam Mar 1979

Reflection Of An Electromagnetic Plane Wave With 0 Or Π Phase Shift At The Surface Of An Absorbing Medium, R. M.A. Azzam

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

An electromagnetic plane wave incident obliquely from a transparent medium onto the surface of an absorbing medium can be reflected with 0 or π phase shift if (i) the wave is p (TM) polarized, and (ii) the complex relative dielectric function ε is such that 0 ≤|ε| 2/2Re(ε) ≤ 1. Furthermore, the locus of ε such that the reflection coefficient for the p polarization is real at the same angle of incidence, is a circle, and that of ε½ (the complex relative refractive index) is Bernoulli’s lemniscate.

Impact Of Water And Soils Having High Source-Sink Potentials On Water And Salinity Management Under Irrigation In The Upper Colorado River Basin, Lyman S. Willardson, R. J. Hanks, J. J. Jurinak

Reports

Water management in irrigation projects is one potential method for reducing downstream salinity in the Colorado River. An important contribution can be made to developing more effective irrigation water management practices for water conservation and salinity control through identification and better understanding of the soil and water interactions that result in soils behaving as salt sources or as salt sinks. The interactions identified in this study were examined to determine the effects of various management alternatives on the quality and quantity of salt in subsurface return flow from irrigation projects. A soil solution chemistry model was developed to describe the …

Stochastic Analysis For Water Quality, Ronald F. Malone, David S. Bowles, William J. Grenney, Michael P. Windham Jan 1979

Stochastic Analysis For Water Quality, Ronald F. Malone, David S. Bowles, William J. Grenney, Michael P. Windham

Reports

This report demonstrates the feasibility of applying stochastic techniques to linear water quality models. The Monte Carlo, First Order, and Generation of Moment Equation techniques are applied to a long term phosphorus model of Lake Washington. The effect of uncertainty of the phosphours loading term on simulated phosphous levels is analyzed. All three stochastic techniques produced the same results. The simulated concentrations of phosphorus in the water column are very responsive to uncertainty in annual phosphorus loading, the sediment concentrations relatively insensitive. The Monte Carlo technique is shown to require the most computation time of the three stochastic techniques applied. …

Plasma Polymerization Of Tetrafluoroethylene. Iii. Capacitive Audio Frequency (10 Khz) And Ac Discharge, N. (Nicholas) C. Morosoff, H. Yasuda, E. S. Brandt, C. N. Reilley

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The plasma polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is studied in a capacitively coupled system with internal electrodes using a 10 kHz (af) and a 60 Hz (ac) source. The emphasis is on identifying conditions that are compatible with continuous coating of plasma polymer on a substrate moving through the center of the interelectrode gap. Operation at a pressure below 100 mTorr is most favorable for deposition of a substantial portion of the plasma polymer on this substrate. Plasma polymer deposited in this way is characterized by ESCA and by deposition rate data and compared to that deposited using rf power in …

Nucleation Experiments With Monodisperse Nacl Aerosols., Darryl J. Alofs, M. B. Trueblood, D. R. White, V. L. Behr

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Nucleation Experiments with Monodisperse NaCl Aerosols Showed Good Agreement with the Kohler Theory Relating the Critical Super-Saturation S//c to the Dry Size. Aerosols Produced by Condensing NaCl Showed the Same S//c as Those Produced by Evaporating Aqueous NaCl Solution Droplets. This Indicates that If There is an Energy Barrier in Going from a Dry NaCl Particle to a Solution Droplet, This Energy Barrier is Small. the Fact that the Evaporation Aerosol Particles Are Cubical Crystals and the Condensation Aerosols Are Amorphous Spheres is Shown to Make No Difference in the Nucleation Threshold. the Investigation Also Gives Insights into the Performance …

Nonlinear Anelasticity And The Martensitic Transformation, Manfred Wuttig, Tetsuro Suzuki Jan 1979

Nonlinear Anelasticity And The Martensitic Transformation, Manfred Wuttig, Tetsuro Suzuki

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Zener's model of a standard linear solid is extended to include nonlinearities characteristic of metals and alloys in the vicinity of a martensitic transformation. The equation of motion of a nonlinear anelastic solid is derived and solved using van der Pol's method. The characteristics of the solutions indicate that auto-oscillations of finite amplitude can be excited externally. It is proposed that the streaming oscillations represent the beat between the external excitation and the auto-oscillation. © 1979.
