Properties of nonpolar a-plane InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells grown on lateral epitaxially overgrown a-plane GaN
The properties of nonpolar a-plane InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum wells (MQWs), grown simultaneously on lateral epitaxially overgrown (LEO) a-plane GaN and planar a-plane GaN, were studied. High-resolutio...

Anomalous behaviors of E1/E2 deep level defects in 6H silicon carbide
Deep level defects E1/E2 were observed in He-implanted, 0.3 and 1.7  MeV electron-irradiated n-type 6H–SiC. Similar to others' results, the behaviors of E1 and E2 (like the peak intensi...

A single gold nanoparticle is attached to the end of a chemically etched fiber axicon microlens tip by modifying the tip surface with linker molecules. The high collection efficiency of the fiber axicon microlens allows plasmon scattering of a single nanoparticle to be measured directly through the optical fiber. The portable nature of this probe allows direct optical sensing of environmental changes using a single nanoparticle. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
