Strain-driven light polarization switching in deep ultraviolet nitride emitters
Residual strain plays a critical role in determining the crystalline quality
of nitride epitaxial layers and in modifying their band structure; this often
leads to several interesting physical phenomena. It is found, for example, that
compressive strain in AlxGa1-xN layers grown on AlyGa1-yN (x<y) templates
results in an anti-crossing of the valence bands at considerably much higher Al
composition than expected. This happens even in the presence of large and
negative crystal field splitting energy for AlxGa1-xN layers. A judicious
magnitude of the compressive strain can support vertical light emission (out of
the c-plane) from AlxGa1-xN quantum wells up to x\approx 0.80, which is
desirable for the development of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
designed to operate below 250nm with transverse electric polarization
characteristics
Equation modifying program, L219 (EQMOD). Volume 1: Engineering and usage
The analysis and use of the Equation Modifying Program (EQMOD) L219, digital computer program which modifies matrices according to specific instructions was described. The program modifies the theoretical equation of motion and load equations generated by the DYLOFLEX programs Equation of Motion L217 (EOM), and Load Equations, L218 (LOADS), respectively
Volumetric reach-through displays for direct manipulation of 3D content
In my PhD, I aim at developing a reach-through volumetric display where points of light are emitted from each 3d position of the display volume, and yet it allows people to introduce theirs hands inside to directly interact with the rendered content. Here, I present TomoLit, an inverse tomographic display, where multiple emitters project rays of different intensities for each angle, rendering a target image in mid-air. We have analysed the effect on image quality of the number of emitters, their locations, the angular resolution and the levels of intensities. We have developed a simple emitter and we are in the process of putting together multiple of them. And what I plan to do next, e.g. moving from 2D to 3D and exploring interaction techniques. The feedback obtained in this symposium will clearly dissipate some of of my doubts and guide my research career.This work has been funded by Government of Navarre (FEDER) 0011-1365-2019-000086; and by Jóvenes Investigadores UPNA PJUPNA1923
Decomposition of meron configuration of SU(2) gauge field
For the meron configuration of the SU(2) gauge field in the four dimensional
Minkowskii spacetime, the decomposition into an isovector field \bn,
isoscalar fields and , and a U(1) gauge field is
attained by solving the consistency condition for \bn. The resulting \bn
turns out to possess two singular points, behave like a monopole-antimonopole
pair and reduce to the conventional hedgehog in a special case. The
field also possesses singular points, while and are regular
everywhere.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, Sec.4 rewritten. 5 refs. adde
Holographic Construction of Technicolor Theory
We construct a dual description of technicolor theory based on the D4/D8
brane configuration. A strongly-coupled technicolor theory is identified as the
effective theory on D-branes, and from the gauge/gravity correspondence, we
explore the weakly-coupled holographic description of dynamical electroweak
symmetry breaking. It is found from the D-brane probe action that the masses of
W and Z bosons are given by the decay constant of technipion, and the
technimesons become hierarchically heavy. Moreover, the couplings of heavier
modes to standard model fermions are rather suppressed. The oblique correction
parameters are also evaluated and found to be small except for the S parameter,
which can be reduced by modifying the model. The fermion fields are introduced
at the intersections of D-branes and their masses are generated via massive
gauge bosons from open strings stretching between D-branes.Comment: 23 pages; references added, minor change
High expansion coefficient glasses can be sealed to common metals
New series of high expansion coefficient glasses can be sealed by fusion onto hot surfaces of metals and alloys. Glasses have relatively low working temperatures, good chemical durability, and can be used in electrical insulators and feedthroughs to fluid or vacuum systems
Nuclear Spins in a Nanoscale Device for Quantum Information Processing
Coherent oscillations between any two levels from four nuclear spin states of
I=3/2 have been demonstrated in a nanometre-scale NMR semiconductor device,
where nuclear spins are all-electrically controlled. Using this device, we
discuss quantum logic operations on two fictitious qubits of the I=3/2 system,
and propose a quantum state tomography scheme based on the measurement of
longitudinal magnetization, .Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Exponential splitting of bound states in a waveguide with a pair of distant windows
We consider Laplacian in a straight planar strip with Dirichlet boundary
which has two Neumann ``windows'' of the same length the centers of which are
apart, and study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum as
. It is shown that there are pairs of eigenvalues around each
isolated eigenvalue of a single-window strip and their distances vanish
exponentially in the limit . We derive an asymptotic expansion also
in the case where a single window gives rise to a threshold resonance which the
presence of the other window turns into a single isolated eigenvalue
