Kavli Affiliate: Richard Foster | First 5 Authors: Timir Datta, Ming Yin, Yunjin Wang, Michael Wescott, Richard Foster | Summary: Geometrically decorated two-dimensional (2D) discrete surfaces can be more effective than conventional smooth reflectors in managing wave radiation. Constructive non-specular wave scattering permits the scattering angle to be other than twice that of incidence and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | First 5 Authors: Shin Watanabe, Rie Sato, Tadayuki Takahashi, Jun Kataoka, Greg Madejski | Summary: We report the Suzaku observations of the high luminosity blazar SWIFT J0746.3+2548 (J0746) conducted in November 2005. This object, with z = 2.979, is the highest redshift source observed in the Suzaku Guaranteed Time Observer […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Andreu Cabot, A. Paul Alivisatos, Victor F. Puntes, Lluis Balcells, Oscar Iglesias | Summary: In the present work, we investigate the magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic and noninteracting maghemite (g-Fe2O3) hollow nanoparticles obtained by the Kirkendall effect. From the experimental characterization of their magnetic behavior, we find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Laurent Ponson, Kenneth Diest, Harry Atwater, Guruswami Ravichandran, Kaushik Bhattacharya | Summary: We investigate the origin of undesirable transverse cracks often observed in thin films obtained by the layer transfer technique. During this process, two crystals bonded to each other containing a weak plan produced by ion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Daegyoum Kim, Morteza Gharib, , , | Summary: This fluid dynamics video shows three-dimensional vortex formation process for plates in impulsive motion which is investigated experimentally by using defocusing digital particle image velocimetry (DDPIV). Rigid and flexible plate cases are compared in order to study the effect […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Jos Zwanikken, Joost de Graaf, Markus Bier, René van Roij, | Summary: We calculate ion distributions near a planar oil-water interface within non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, taking into account the Born self-energy of the ions in the two media. For unequal self-energies of cations and anions, a spontaneous […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Prigozhin | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: The charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of the X-ray CCDs on board the Suzaku satellite (X-ray Imaging Spectrometers; XIS) has increased since the launch due to radiation damage, and the energy resolution has been degraded. To improve the CTI, we have […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Mike Jarvis, Paul Schechter, Bhuvnesh Jain, , | Summary: In weak lensing investigations, galaxy shapes are deconvolved for the effects of the point spread function (PSF) using stellar images. In this paper we use physical models of the telescope optics to understand the spatial variation of the […]
