Effect of Madden Julian oscillation on convectively coupled equatorial waves by Dobriyal, Ritvik

“…Greater effect of MJO on CCEW is noticed over the zonal extent in which the convective component of MJO is strong, ranging from the Indian Ocean to western Pacific Ocean (nearly 60°E to 180°). MJO is also found to affect CCEW over Africa and near South America if wave activity peaks in these regions, however the effect is nearly half as strong or weaker. …”

Theoretical and experimental study of semiconducting iron disilicide and its applications to thin film solar cells by Tan, Khing Hong

“…In addition, β-FeSi2 is expected as a promising photovoltaic material with a theoretical conversion efficiency as high as 23% due to its ultrahigh optical absorption coefficient in the order of 105 cm-1 near the absorption edge. These properties, along with other features such as abundance of constituent elements, nearly lattice-matched to Si, and high thermal stability and oxidation resistance, have made β-FeSi2 one of the most attractive materials of choice for future generation thin film photovoltaic applications. …”

Plasmon geometric phase and plasmon hall shift by Shi, Li-kun, Song, Justin Chien Wen

“…This plasmon Hall shift, tunable by Hall conductivity as well as plasmon wavelength, displaces the incident and reflected plasmon trajectories and can be readily probed by near-field photonics techniques. Anomalous plasmon geometric phases dramatically enrich the nanophotonics toolbox, and yield radical new means for directing plasmonic beams.…”
