Optimized nonadiabatic nanofocusing of plasmons by tapered metal rods
Using rigorous numerical methods of analysis, this paper investigates nonadiabatic nanofocusing in tapered nanorods with the major emphasis on structural optimization for achieving maximal possible local field enhancement. Simple analytical equations for the determination of the optimal length of the tapered rod are presented and discussed. It is also shown that for the considered structures, o...
متن کاملCervicothoracic Lordosis Can Influence Outcome After Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery
Background Previous studies on the correlation between cervical sagittal balance with improvement in quality of life showed significant results only for parameters of the anterior translation of the cervical spine (such as C2-C7 SVA). Objective We test whether a new parameter, cervicothoracic lordosis, can predict clinical success in this type of surgery. Methods The focused group involved ...
متن کاملSize stabilization of surface-supported liquid aerosols using tapered optical fiber coupling.
We demonstrate long-term size stabilization of surface-supported liquid aerosols of salt-water. Single tapered optical fibers were used to couple the light from independent heating and probe lasers into individual microdroplets that were kept on a superhydrophobic surface in a high-humidity chamber. Size stabilization of microdroplets resulted from competition between resonant absorption of the...
متن کاملEfficiency of Hysteresis Rods in Small Spacecraft Attitude Stabilization
A semiempirical method for predicting the damping efficiency of hysteresis rods on-board small satellites is presented. It is based on the evaluation of dissipating energy variation of different ferromagnetic materials for two different rod shapes: thin film and circular cross-section rods, as a function of their elongation. Based on this formulation, an optimum design considering the size of h...
متن کاملA Short History of Posterior Dynamic Stabilization
Interspinous spacers were developed to treat local deformities such as degenerative spondylolisthesis. To treat patients with chronic instability, posterior pedicle fixation and rod-based dynamic stabilization systems were developed as alternatives to fusion surgeries. Dynamic stabilization is the future of spinal surgery, and in the near future, we will be able to see the development of new de...
