Multilayer coating structure comprising a copper (Cu) layer sandwiched between titanium dioxide (TiO2) were demonstrated as a transparent heat reflecting (THR) coating on glass for energy-saving window application. The main highlight is the utilization of Cu, a low-cost material, in-lieu of silver which is widely used in current commercial heat reflecting coating on glass. Color tunable transpa...

Multilayer coated blazed gratings with high groove density are the best candidates for use in high resolution EUV and soft x-ray spectroscopy. Theoretical analysis shows that such a grating can be potentially optimized for high dispersion and spectral resolution in a desired high diffraction order without significant loss of diffraction efficiency. In order to realize this potential, the gratin...

Nano films consisting of an alternating sequence of positively and negatively charged polyelectrolytes have been prepared by means of the electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) sequential assembly technique on treated and untreated mild steel wires. Inhibitor was encapsulated between cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte nano films. This paper mainly focuses on the effect of these nano-films of poly...

Multilayer mirrors that maintain or increase their reflectivity with increasing incidence angle can be constructed using polymers that exhibit large birefringence in their indices of refraction. The most important feature of these multilayer interference stacks is the index difference in the thickness direction (z axis) relative to the in-plane directions of the film. This z-axis refractive ind...

The mechanism of flat band voltage (VFB) shift for alternate La2O3/Al2O3 multilayer stack structures in different annealing condition is investigated. The samples were prepared for alternate multilayer structures, which were annealed in different conditions. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) measuring results indicate that the VFB of samples shift negatively for thinner bottom Al2O3 layer, increasi...

This paper presents results of research dealing with geodetic and cadastral aspects of utilizing space above and below the surface. The research is being conducted at the Geodetic Engineering Division of the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, as part of the doctoral studies of the first author. The principal objectives of the research are to find a cadastralgeodetic solution for utilizing...

Even though multilayer perceptrons and radial basis function networks belong to the class of artificial neural networks and they are used for similar tasks, they have very different structures and training mechanisms. So, some researchers showed better performance with radial basis function networks, while others showed some different results with multilayer perceptrons. This paper compares the...

Multilayer films of tungstophosphate anion (P(2)W(18)) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) were fabricated on quartz and ITO substrates by layer-by-layer self-assembly method. These films were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometric (CA), chronocoulometry (CC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The effects of film structure on multilayer electrochr...

This paper proposes an evolutionary design methodology of multilayer feedforward neural networks based on constructive approach. We elaborate an adjustable processing element as primitive neuron model. The neural layer can be constructed by assembling several neurons. The multilayer neural network can be finally constructed through cascading several neural layers. The constructive approach faci...
