A coherent image source method for flat waveguides with locally reacting boundaries by Min, Hequn., Qiu, Xiaojun., Li, Ningrong.

“…The method starts from formulating sound reflections into integrals by plane wave expansion, and the inherent intractability in solving these integrals in such spaces is avoided by introducing a physically plausible assumption that wave fronts remain the same before and after the reflection on a near-rigid boundary. By comparisons to the classical wave theory and the existing coherent ray-based methods, it is shown that the proposed method is considerably accurate to predict the sound propagation in flat waveguides with a sound absorbing ceiling and a reflective floor over a broad frequency range and for various source/receiver geometries, even if at large distances from the source compared to the waveguide height while the existing methods are shown to be erroneous.…”

Interface and surface cation stoichiometry modified by oxygen vacancies in epitaxial manganite films by Li, Zhi Peng, Bosman, Michel, Yang, Zhen, Ren, Peng, Wang, Lan, Zhu, Weiguang, Dong, Zhili, Foo, Yong Lim, Cao, Liang, Yu, Xiaojiang, Ke, Chang, Breese, Mark B. H., Rusydi, Andrivo

“…Here, transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron-based spectroscopy are used to demonstrate that oxygen vacancies during growth serve as a critical factor for modifying the cation stoichiometry in pulsed laser deposited La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 films. Near the film/substrate (SrTiO3) interface, A-site cations (La/Sr) are in excess when oxygen vacancies are induced during film growth, partially substituting Mn. …”
