Nanometer-scale monitoring of quantum-confined Stark effect and emission efficiency droop in multiple GaN/AlN quantum disks in nanowires

We report on a detailed study of the intensity dependent optical properties of individual GaN/AlN quantum disks (QDisks) embedded into GaN nanowires (NW). The structural and optical properties of the QDisks were probed by high spatial resolution cathodolum ...

Polarization response of nanowires a la carte

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Esther Alarcon Llado, Alberto Casadei, Martin Heiss, Francesca Amaduzzi, Eleonora Russo

Thanks to their special interaction with light, semiconductor nanowires have opened new avenues in photonics, quantum optics and solar energy harvesting. One of the major challenges for their full technological deployment has been their strong polarization ...

Associations among Household Characteristics, Vehicle Characteristics and Emissions Failures: An Application of Targeted Marketing Data

Michel Bierlaire, Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder

Many U.S. cities use vehicle emissions testing programs to improve air quality by identifying gross polluting vehicles and requiring their owners to make emissions-related repairs. All vehicles that meet certain criteria must pass an emissions test as part ...

Functional Characterization of the Mouse Olfactory Receptor mOR256-17 in Live Cells

Thamani Dahoun

Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system to recognize and discriminate a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorant molecules. The molecul ...

Prediction of vehicle activity for emissions estimation under oversaturated conditions along signalized arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Eleni Christofa

The traditional methodology for estimating vehicle emissions based on vehicle miles traveled and average speed is not reliable because it does not consider the effects of congestion, control devices, and driving mode (cruise, acceleration, deceleration, an ...

Real-time observation of the charge transfer to solvent dynamics

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Olivier Christian Bräm

Intermolecular electron-transfer reactions have a crucial role in biology, solution chemistry and electrochemistry. The first step of such reactions is the expulsion of the electron to the solvent, whose mechanism is determined by the structure and dynamic ...

Optimal Methodology to Generate Road Traffic Emissions for Air Quality Modeling : Application to Ho Chi Minh City

Quoc Bang Ho

Growing population, consuming a large amount of energy such as combustion of fossil fuel, increasing pollutant emissions in the atmosphere are the threats to the sustainable development of our planet in general, and of the air quality in particular. Accord ...

Photosensitivity and luminescence of chromium and bismuth doped fibers

Christian Ban

Optical fiber materials with broad-band gain in the visible or in the telecommunication window are of great interest for optical communication or the biomedical domain in order to built integrated tunable lasers, amplifiers, ultra-short pulse lasers, or br ...

Method and apparatus to determine a planet vector

Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun, Noémy Scheidegger

The present invention relates to a method for a low cost Planet vector Sensor based on imaging atmospheric oxygen emission at 762 nm or at 557.7 wavelengths using either CMOS, CCD or arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). In both daytime and nig ...

Spectral prediction model for color prints on paper with fluorescent additives

Roger Hersch

I propose a model for predicting the total reflectance of color halftones printed on paper incorporating fluorescent brighteners. The total reflectance is modeled as the additive superposition of the relative fluorescent emission and the pure reflectance o ...
