Dielectric and plasmonic vivaldi antennas for on-chip wireless communication

In this paper, different technologies enabling wireless on-chip communication are investigated. In particular, plasmonic Vivaldi antennas coupled to silicon waveguides and all-dielectric Vivaldi antennas are proposed. The design criteria and the performances of the two antenna configurations are also discussed

Spin observables in deuteron-proton radiative capture at intermediate energies

A radiative deuteron-proton capture experiment was carried out at KVI using polarized-deuteron beams at incident energies of 55, 66.5, and 90 MeV/nucleon. Vector and tensor-analyzing powers were obtained for a large angular range. The results are interpreted with the help of Faddeev calculations, which are based on modern two- and three-nucleon potentials. Our data are described well by the calculations, and disagree significantly with the observed tensor anomaly at RCNP.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PL
