Power-recycled weak-value-based metrology

We improve the precision of the interferometric weak-value-based beam deflection measurement by introducing a power recycling mirror, creating a resonant cavity. This results in \emph{all} the light exiting to the detector with a large deflection, thus eliminating the inefficiency of the rare postselection. The signal-to-noise ratio of the deflection is itself magnified by the weak value. We discuss ways to realize this proposal, using a transverse beam filter and different cavity designs.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

Real or Illusory? Case Studies on the Public Perception of Environmental Health Risks in the North West of England

Applied research in a public health setting seeks to provide professionals with insights and knowledge into complex environmental issues to guide actions that reduce inequalities and improve health. We describe ten environmental case studies that explore the public perception of health risk. We employed logical analysis of components of each case study and comparative information to generate new evidence. The findings highlight how concerns about environmental issues measurably affect people’s wellbeing and led to the development of new understanding about the benefits of taking an earlier and more inclusive approach to risk communication that can now be tested further

Radiative capture rates at deep defects from electronic structure calculations

We present a methodology to calculate radiative carrier capture coefficients at deep defects in semiconductors and insulators from first principles. Electronic structure and lattice relaxations are accurately described with hybrid density functional theory. Calculations of capture coefficients provide an additional validation of the accuracy of these functionals in dealing with localized defect states. We also discuss the validity of the Condon approximation, showing that even in the event of large lattice relaxations the approximation is accurate. We test the method on GaAs:$V_\text{Ga}$-$\text{Te}_\text{As}$ and GaN:C$_\text{N}$, for which reliable experiments are available, and demonstrate very good agreement with measured capture coefficients.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
