Bistable Operation Of A Two-Section 1.3-Mm Inas Quantum Dot Laser—Absorption Saturation And The Quantum Confined Stark Effect, Xiaodong Huang, A. Stintz, Hua Li, Audra Rice, G. T. Liu, L.F. Lester, Julian Cheng, K.J. Malloy

Faculty Publications

Room temperature, continuous-wave bistability was observed in oxide-confined, two-section, 1.3- m quantum-dot (QD) lasers with an integrated intracavity quantum-dot saturable absorber. The origin of the hysteresis and bistability were shown to be due to the nonlinear saturation of the QD absorption and the electroabsorption induced by the quantum confined Stark effect.

Environmental Justice And Southern California's “Riskscape” The Distribution Of Air Toxics Exposures And Health Risks Among Diverse Communities, James Sadd Feb 2001

Environmental Justice And Southern California's “Riskscape” The Distribution Of Air Toxics Exposures And Health Risks Among Diverse Communities, James Sadd

James Sadd

Past research on “environmental justice” has often failed to systematically link hazard proximity with quantifiable health risks. The authors employ recent advances in air emissions inventories and modeling techniques to consider a broad range of outdoor air toxics in Southern California and to calculate the potential lifetime cancer risks associated with these pollutants. They find that such risks are attributable mostly to transportation and small-area sources and not the usually targeted large-facility pollution emissions. Multivariate regression suggests that race plays an explanatory role in risk distribution even after controlling for other economic, land-use, and population factors. This pattern suggests the …

Hermite Collocation Solution Of Partial Differential Equations Via Preconditioned Krylov Methods, Stephen Brill Feb 2001

Hermite Collocation Solution Of Partial Differential Equations Via Preconditioned Krylov Methods, Stephen Brill

Stephen H. Brill

We are concerned with the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) in two spatial dimensions discretized via Hermite collocation. To efficiently solve the resulting systems of linear algebraic equations, we choose a Krylov subspace method. We implement two such methods: Bi-CGSTAB [1] and GMRES [2]. In addition, we utilize two different preconditioners: one based on the Gauss–Seidel method with a block red-black ordering (RBGS); the other based upon a block incomplete LU factorization (ILU). Our results suggest that, at least in the context of Hermite collocation, the RBGS preconditioner is superior to the ILU preconditioner and that the Bi-CGSTAB …

Symbolic Dynamics And Computation In Model Gene Networks, R. Edwards, Hava Siegelmann, K. Aziza, L. Glass

Hava Siegelmann

We analyze a class of ordinary differential equations representing a simplified model of a genetic network. In this network, the model genes control the production rates of other genes by a logical function. The dynamics in these equations are represented by a directed graph on an n-dimensional hypercube (n-cube) in which each edge is directed in a unique orientation. The vertices of the n-cube correspond to orthants of state space, and the edges correspond to boundaries between adjacent orthants. The dynamics in these equations can be represented symbolically. Starting from a point on the boundary between neighboring orthants, the equation …

Theoretical Profile Shapes For Optically Thin X-Ray Emission Lines From Spherical Stellar Winds., R. Ignace Feb 2001

Theoretical Profile Shapes For Optically Thin X-Ray Emission Lines From Spherical Stellar Winds., R. Ignace

Richard Ignace

One of the major outstanding problems in hot star wind theory is an understanding of the observed X-ray emissions from the early-type B, O, and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. The latest X-ray satellites Chandra and XMM-Newton are providing key new observations of resolved emission profiles to advance that understanding. This study presents a derivation of the expected emission-line profiles, assuming optically thin line emission and spherical symmetry, with a proper treatment of the attenuation of X-rays by the dense cool wind component. Examples of line profile variability for a narrow outflowing shell are presented. Then the case of embedded hot gas …

The Charge Transfer Effect Of Sers Induced By The Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, Feng-Ming Liu, Qi Han, Yan Xia Chen, Qi Ling Zhong, Bin Ren, Zhong Qun Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

As one of the important mechanisms of SERS, the charge transfer (CT) enhancement requires the strong interaction of the adsorbed species with the substrate in order to permit the transition of charge between the metal Fermi level (energy state) and the molecular orbital [1] . The high enhancement needs the match of the energy gap between the Fermi level (or surface state) and the orbital energy level of the adsorbed molecules with the energy of the incident light. The electrode Fermi level is usually adjusted by the applied potential to satisfy the CT resonance. For the electrochemical reaction process, the …
