Tunable transmission and harmonic generation in nonlinear metamaterials
We study the properties of a tunable nonlinear metamaterial operating at microwave frequencies. We fabricate the nonlinear metamaterial composed of double split-ring resonators and wires where a varac...

Violet-light spontaneous and stimulated emission from ultrathin In-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
We investigated the spontaneous and stimulated emission properties of violet-light-emitting ultrathin In-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with indium content of 60%–70%. The Stokes s...

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were performed on a Ni-based nanoprecipitate-strengthened superalloy. A theoretical model for SANS absolute intensity distribution I(Q) was presented to extract the structural properties. During the deformation process, a change in the morphology of precipitates was discovered. However, the average interprecipitate distance and the average volume of precipitates were found to remain invariant. This microstructural information resolved by SANS is in good agreement with the results obtained from the quantitative transmission-electron-microscopy image analysis. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
