Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”

Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence. by Lohmeyer, Whitney, Carlton, Ashley, Wong, Frankie, Bodeau, Michael, Kennedy, Andrew, Cahoy, Kerri

“…We also find that the accumulated voltages reached are high enough to compromise components in the amplifier system, for example, the direct current (DC) blocking capacitor. An electron beam test using a representative coaxial cable terminated in a blocking capacitor showed that discharges could occur with peak voltages and energies sufficient to damage active RF semiconductor devices.…”

Opto-mechatronics instrumentation of a specialty optical fiber based optogenetic probe by Gokulnath, Rajendran

“…The galvanometric mirrors in the conventional targeted neuronal stimulation studies were replaced by the Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) in the state of the art optogenetics system due to its superior beam modulation options and response time. However, most of the SLM integrated with the optogenetic systems using coherent fiber bundle are the reflective type which suffers from a major drawback of complex optical configuration. …”

Effects of rapid thermal annealing on structure and luminescence of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots by Xu, S. J., Wang, X. C., Chua, S. J., Wang, C. H., Fan, Weijun, Jiang, J., Xie, X. G.

“…Postgrowth rapid thermal annealing was used to modify the structural and optical properties of the self-assembled InAs quantum dotsgrown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. It is found that significant narrowing of the luminescencelinewidth (from 78.9 to 20.5 meV) from the InAs dot layer occurs together with about 260 meV blueshift at annealing temperatures up to 850 °C. …”
