Spatial coherence of the undulator radiation in the horizontal direction is measured by a wedge-shaped crystal interferometer. The Borrmann effect, the effect of the angular divergence of the incidence and the wavefront matching of the collimating asymmetric diffractions with the interferometer are discussed to estimate the coherence factor. The spatial coherence length of 145 microm is experim...

Arno Formella Universität des Saarlandes, FB 14 Informatik, 66041 Saarbrücken, Germany Abstract—We present a very efficient algorithm which calculates deterministically the path losses, delay profiles and other characteristics of a mobile channel. The algorithm can be used both for indoor and outdoor environments. We apply the technique of tracing rays and compute reflections, transmissions and...

A multiscale method is proposed. It combines the so-called bridging scale method and the perfectly matched layer method to form a robust and versatile multiscale algorithm. The method can efficiently eliminate the spurious reflections/diffractions from the artificial atomistic/continuum interface by matching the impedance at the interface of the molecular dynamic region and the perfectly matche...

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramics is considered a great candidate for optical refrigeration. Their ability to form low-phonon fluoride crystals embedded in an oxide glass matrix presents interest the development of fluorescent efficient materials with good mechanical and thermal resistance. A better understanding material microstructure its relations on properties mandatory achieve required refrigerat...
