In Raman spectroscopy of graphite and graphene, the D band at ∼ 1355 cm−1 is used as the indication of the dirtiness of a sample. However, our analysis suggests that the physics behind the D band is closely related to a very clear idea for describing a molecule, namely bonding and antibonding orbitals in graphene. In this paper, we review our recent work on the mechanism for activating the D ba...

We comment on the recent Letter by Jiao et al. [Opt. Lett. 28, 1206 (2003)] in which a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography system was presented. Interrogating a sample with two orthogonal incident polarization states cannot always recover birefringence correctly. A previously presented fiber-based polarization-sensitive system was inaccurately characterized, and its method of el...

We describe how a real application, the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) program, is parallelized and run on a cluster of PCs connected by SCI. We have a prototype SCI switch that uses the serial IEEE 1355 HIC technology in its switching fabric. The prototype switch can not keep up with the speed of the SCI interconnect, and we analyze and discuss how switch performance in uence the execution tim...

2014 Mechanical experiments on thin threads in discotic liquid crystal are described. Thread resonance under oscillating electric field excitation allows the measurement of the surface tension. Buckling instabilities are observed under mechanical compression and also under magnetic field. All these effects, dominated by surface tension after plastic relaxation, are characteristic of the discoti...
