The effect of frequency dependent losses on the interconnect link performance is primarily in degradation of rise time, amplitude, and eye diagram. The rise time for the signal transmitted through a link slows down as a result of losses, and the signal amplitude decreases. The amplitude, however, does not stay at a permanently lowered level, as it would in a case of purely DC loss. In fact, it ...

Photoacoustics has been broadly studied in biomedicine, for both human and small animal tissues. Photoacoustics uniquely combines the absorption contrast of light or radio frequency waves with ultrasound resolution. Moreover, it is non-ionizing and non-invasive, and is the fastest growing new biomedical method, with clinical applications on the way. This review provides a brief recap of recent ...

Nuclear spins are polarized electrically in a breakdown regime of an odd-integer quantum Hall effect (QHE). Electron excitation to the upper Landau subband with the opposite spin polarity flips nuclear spins through the hyperfine interaction. The polarized nuclear spins reduce the spin-splitting energy and accelerate the QHE breakdown. The Knight shift of the nuclear spins is also measured by t...

We present calculations of the frequency-dependent spin susceptibility tensor of a two-dimensional electron gas with competing Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction. It is shown that the interplay between both types of spin-orbit coupling gives rise to an anisotropic spectral behavior of the spin density response function which is significantly different from that of vanishing Rashba or...

Propagation of elertromagnotuwaves in forest environments at mefiium and high radio frequencies is examined for the case where both the transmitting and receiving points are situated within the vegetation. A conductive slab in the presence of a reflecting ionosphere is employed to describe the forest configuration and this model is further simplified by disregarding the ground-forest interface....

It is shown by considering the general properties of solution of the kinetic equation that plasma rotation in Radio-Frequency (RF) wave heated tokamak plasmas can be modeled by the RF-modified plasma viscous force. This approach is qualitatively different from a model that uses a radial current to model the RF effects on plasma rotation. 52.55.Fi Typeset using REVTEX

The spin-Hall effect in the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) generates symmetric out-of-plane spin Sz accumulation about the current axis, in the absence of external magnetic field. Here we employ the real space Landauer-Keldysh formalism(1) by considering a four-terminal setup to investigate the circumstances in which this symmetry is broken. For absence of Dresselhaus interaction, starting...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena. It is described as a major enabling technology for automated contactless wireless data collection, and as an enabler for the real-time enterprise, a future vision for enterprise information systems. Little is known, however, about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, curren...
