Squeezing the Quantum Noise of LIGO below the Standard Quantum Limit by Jia, Wenxuan

“…The SQL applies when using uncorrelated photons or coherent light to measure the object, such as a laser beam. However, introducing quantum correlations through squeezed light, a technique called squeezing (Chapter 2), can circumvent this limit. …”

Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…The optical pump light is focused onto the bevel, after which it refracts and becomes confined within the waveguide by total internal reflection. This allows the pump beam to repeatedly drive the generated THz field during its multiple back-and-forth traversals within the LN slab. …”

Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…In this study, among the several available AM processes, the LPBF technique is selected to fabricate compositionally graded alloys, as it has higher spatial resolution and lower cost, compared to directed energy deposition (DED) and electron beam powder bed fusion (EBPBF). With three different LPBF setups and four alloy systems examined in this study, the following objectives are achieved: (i) screening out, from a large range of compositions, the alloys that are amenable to LPBF, (ii) examining the effects of the LPBF characteristics, e.g., rapid cooling rate, on the micro-/meso-structure and properties of the fabricated parts with varying chemical compositions, and (iii) evaluating the fabrication methods in terms of types of achieved gradation (stepwise or smooth), efficiency, and level of chemical segregation. …”

Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…The introduction of a cooperative octahedral tilt around the crystallographic z-axis leads to a local breaking of the inversion symmetry of the host lattice on fluorination, although the global inversion symmetry of the lattice is retained due to an alternation in the z-tilt direction in adjacent perovskite sheets.</p> <p>The substitution of Sr²⁺ with Ca²⁺ cations in YSr₂Mn₂O₇ led to an increasing distortion of the metal-oxide framework, resulting in the formation of an orthorhombic symmetry in space group <em>Pnnm</em> adopted by YSr_0.5Ca_1.5Mn₂O₇. …”

Enhancing tensile and fatigue properties of additively manufactured alloys by post-processing heat treatment by Radhakrishnan, Jayaraj
