Prospects for larger or more frequent earthquakes in the Los Angeles metropolitan region by Sieh, Kerry, Suppe, John, Dolan, James F., Rockwell, Thomas K., Yeats, Robert S., Huftile, Gary J., Gath, Eldon M., Shaw, John H.

“…Far too few moderate earthquakes have occurred within the Los Angeles, California, metropolitan region during the 200-year-long historic period to account for observed strain accumulation, indicating that the historic era represents either a lull between clusters of moderate earthquakes or part of a centuries-long interseismic period between much larger (moment magnitude, Mw, 7.2 to 7.6) events. …”

Highly polarized light emission by isotropic quantum dots integrated with magnetically aligned segmented nanowires by Jun, Shinae, Erdem, Talha, Guzelturk, Burak, Perkgöz, Nihan Kosku, Uran, Can, Jang, Eunjoo, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…In this work, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept system for generating highly polarized light from colloidal quantum dots (QDs) coupled with magnetically aligned segmented Au/Ni/Au nanowires (NWs). Optical characterizations reveal that the optimized QD-NW coupled structures emit highly polarized light with an s-to p-polarization (s/p) contrast as high as 15:1 corresponding to a degree of polarization of 0.88. …”
