The thickness dependence of the magnetoresistance and the Hall constant is obtained in the twoband model with compensating charge carriers by using a specific perturbation formalism for quasitwo-dimensional systems. Screened impurity scattering is considered within the Boltzmann kinetic equation scheme, and the relaxation time is evaluated as a function of thickness through the scattering ampli...

PURPOSE To develop a new sequence for non-contrast-enhanced peripheral angiography using a sliding interleaved cylinder (SLINCYL) acquisition. METHODS A venous saturation pulse was incorporated into a three-dimensional magnetization-prepared balanced steady-state free precession sequence for non-contrast-enhanced peripheral angiography to improve artery-vein contrast. The SLINCYL acquisition,...

This paper presents a parametric study of the time-resolved hemispherical reflectance of a plane-parallel slab of homogeneous, cold, absorbing, and isotropically scattering medium exposed to a collimated Gaussian pulse. The front surface of the slab is transparent while the back surface is assumed to be cold and black. The 1-D time-dependent radiation transfer equation is solved using the modif...

This paper presents the experimental results of utilizing a flexible thin-film membrane as a passive barrier to radon gas diffusion. Nine commercially available membranes of various compositions and thicknesses were evaluated as retardant to radon gas diffusion. The radon gas concentration ratios across the thin-film membranes alone and in combination with an adjacent concrete sample (effective...

We propose a model for the description of the transport properties of metallic films on a large scale of slab thickness. This model is based on solving the linearized Boltzmann equation in relaxation-time approximation using ab initio calculations within the framework of the density functional theory. The expression for the relaxation time is derived from the microscopic treatment of the scatte...

We studied enhancement and suppression of spontaneous emission in thin-film InGaAs/InP photonic crystal at room temperature. Angular resolved photoluminescence measurements were used to determine experimentally the band structure of conduction band of such a photonic crystal and overall enhancement of spontaneous emission. We demonstrated spontaneous emission enhancement in thin slab photonic c...

A solution has been obtained for s, ,ring from thin dielectric disks by approximating the currents induced inside the disk with the currents which would exist inside a dielectric slab of the same thickness, orientation and dielectric properties. This approximation reduces to an electrostatic approximation when the disk thickness, T, is small compared to the wavelength of the incident radiation ...

[1] The fine-scale seismic structure of the central Mexico subduction zone is studied using moderate-sized (M4-6) intraslab earthquakes. Regional waveforms from the Mapping the Rivera Subduction Zone (MARS) seismic array are complicated and contain detailed information about the subduction zone structure, including evidence of lateral heterogeneity. This waveform information is used to model th...
