High performance glass fiber lightguides for lightwave communications applications have evolved from a research idea of the 60's to a commercial reality in the 80's.
This is the text of an invited chapter written for a monograph on "Sol-Gel Technology" (Professor L. Klein editor).
Surface chemistry can be studied by examining the interaction of the surface with specific molecules using gas chromatography (1).
Integrated circuits are commonly packaged by encapsulating a metal lead frame and integrated circuit with a thermosetting plastic in a transfer molding operation.
"Tiling models" were originally introduced in an effort to explain low-temperature behavior of glass-forming materials.
The first generation of optical integrated circuits are now ready to leave the laboratory and enter into commercial application.
Nonlinear optical glasses are promising materials for use in ultra-fast (
A number of phenomena involving metastability, hysteresis and slow "glassy" relaxation have been observed in sliding charge-density-wave (CDW) systems.
We have measured the magnetic susceptibility, chi' + i chi", of the dilute dipolar-coupled Ising magnet LiHo sub (0.045) Y sub (0.955) F sub 4 over six decades of frequency from 0.
This paper provides fundamentals in the design and analysis of Generalized Low-Density Parity Check (GLDPC)-Staircase codes over the erasure channel.
