InGaAs Quantum Well Grown on High-Index Surfaces for Superluminescent Diode Applications
The morphological and optical properties of In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs quantum wells grown on various substrates are investigated for possible application to superluminescent diodes. The In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs quantum wells are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (100), (210), (311), and (731) substrates. A broad photoluminescence emission peak (~950 nm) with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 48 nm is obtained from the sample grown on (210) substrate at room temperature, which is over four times wider than the quantum well simultaneously grown on (100) substrate. On the other hand, a very narrow photoluminescence spectrum is observed from the sample grown on (311) with FWHM = 7.8 nm. The results presented in this article demonstrate the potential of high-index GaAs substrates for superluminescent diode applications
Dominância fiscal : uma investigação empírica sobre o caso brasileiro no período de 2003 a 2014
A estabilização econômica dos anos de 1990 e a adoção do tripé econômico, a partir de
1999, marcam o fim de um capítulo delicado da história brasileira; a partir de então, era
necessária a existência de certa sintonia de políticas monetária e fiscal para a
manutenção do controle dos diversos indicadores econômicos. Contudo, com essa
reciprocidade na política econômica, são incitadas discussões sobre a orientação do
governo na hora de definir suas prioridades nesse campo: as variáveis fiscais são
priorizadas e, por conseguinte, determinadas, forçando as monetárias a se ajustarem –
ou o contrário? A resposta para esse questionamento leva à discussão sobre a
dominância fiscal. Assim, esse trabalho visa verificar empiricamente, usando das
modelagens econométricas VAR e estudo de eventos, se há dominância fiscal ou
monetária na economia brasileira e se a eficácia da política monetária mudou na
transição do governo Lula para o governo Dilma. O resultado foi inconclusivo para o
governo Lula e indicou dominância fiscal no governo Dilma. Ainda verificou-se não
haver modificação na eficácia da política monetária.Economic stabilization, in the 1990s, and utilization of an economic tripod, after 1999,
represents the end of a delicate chapter in Brazilian history. Ever since, it was necessary
the existence of a certain agreement between monetary and fiscal politic, in order to
maintain under control a variety of economic indicators. However, this reciprocity (in
economic politic) starts discussions about the real government orientations when it
comes to define its priority on this subject: are the fiscal variables priorized, and then,
determined, forcing monetary variables to adjust themselves, or the opposite? The
answer to these questions emerge from the fiscal dominance discussion. This paper
intends to empiric verify, using econometric modeling VAR and event study, if there is
fiscal dominance or monetary in Brazilian economy and whether the effectiveness of
monetary politic has changed in the transition from Lula's government to the Dilma
government. The result was inconclusive for the Lula government and indicated fiscal
dominance in the Dilma government. There was still no change in the efficiency of the
monetary politic.CAPE
A ripple microstructure formation on a uniform-melted material surface by nanosecond laser pulses
By a linear polarized nanosecond pulse laser, a ripple structure on the uniformly melted brass surface is produced, which characteristic period approximates to the wavelength of the ionic sonic wave. These features can be interpreted as the interaction between the laser-generated plasma(gas-phase) and the melted brass(liquid-phase). According to our model and the Lagrangian hydrodynamic algorithm simulation, the wavelength of the ionic sonic wave is calculated, which is in well agreement with our experiment observation.?2011 Published by Elsevier B.V
