We consider the applicability of the isentropic, adiabatic gas dynamical model of plume expansion for laser ablation in vacuum. We show that the model can be applied to ionized plumes and estimate the upper electron temperature limit on the applicability of the isentropic approximation. The model predictions are compared with Langmuir ion probe measurements and deposition profiles obtained for ...

This paper highlights a number of challenges and solutions developed to meet the needs of MEMS manufacturers using 3D packaging for low I/O count devices. Various process steps, such as, TSV etch, dielectric liner deposition, barrier/seed PVD have been developed and optimized to increase electrical performance, increase throughput and reduce costs for volume production. In particular, various s...

High reflectivity and low loss mirrors are very much essential for state-of art sensors like Ring Laser Gyroscopes widely used navigation of moving platforms. Surface scattering is the main source high reflectivity. also lead to coupling back reflected light leading dead band optical at input rotation. Super polished glass substrates have been prepared from expansion ceramic material. roughness...

An ion beam source using electrospray ionization is presented for nondestructive vacuum deposition of mass-selected large organic molecules and inorganic clusters. Electrospray ionization is used to create an ion beam from a solution containing the nanoparticles or molecules to be deposited. To form and guide the ion beam, radio frequency and electrostatic ion optics are utilized. The kinetic e...

A network of coupled stochastic oscillators is proposed for modeling of a cluster of entangled qubits that is exploited as a computation resource in one-way quantum computation schemes. A qubit model has been designed as a stochastic oscillator formed by a pair of coupled limit cycle oscillators with chaotically modulated limit cycle radii and frequencies. The qubit simulates the behavior of el...

Three-dimensional (3D) hybrid PIC simulations are presented to study electron energy transport and deposition in a full-scale fast ignition configuration. Multi-prong core heating close to ignition is found when a few GA, few PW beam is injected. Resistive beam filamentation in the corona seeds the 3D current pattern that penetrates the core. Ohmic heating is important in the low-density corona...
