in this paper, the effects of reflected waves of the facets on the internal optical intensity of semiconductor dfb lasers are investigated. the uniformity of optical intensity along the cavity length is evaluated with flatness parameter. the dependence of this parameter on coupling coefficient, reflectivity and grating phase at the facets is also studied. this investigation shows that in some s...

its impact on Ge growth M. Speckmann Th. Schmidt J. I. Flege J. Falta The change of the Si(112) surface morphology and structure induced by In adsorption, as well as the impact of In preadsorption on the growth kinetics and island morphology in Ge/Si(112) epitaxy, has been investigated by means of low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction. The intrinsically faceted Si(112) surface is smoot...

Seamless texture mapping is one of the key technologies for photorealistic 3D texture reconstruction. In this paper, a method of rapid texture optimization of 3D urban reconstruction based on oblique images is proposed aiming at the existence of texture fragments, seams, and inconsistency of color in urban 3D texture mapping based on low-altitude oblique images. First, we explore implementing r...

Measurement of rock mass discontinuities was the key for rock mass 3D network simulation, seepage analysis, and stability analysis. In this paper, a non-contact rock mass discontinuities detection method based on the single camera binocular three-dimensional reconstruction theory was presented. This method provided an effective way for grouping rock mass discontinuities and calculation the disc...

As a result of switching the growth from hexagonal disks to nanorods/nanobelts, single-crystalline ‘nanocastles’ of ZnO have been synthesized. This new structure was constructed by two basic parts: a sheet-like hexagonal crystal base and vertical nanorods/nanobelts surrounding the base as the ‘walls’ of the castle. Moreover, for the first time, ZnO nanorods with a triangular and diamond cross-s...

A set of scattered data in the plane consists of function values measured on a set of data points in R2. A surface model of this set may be obtained by triangulating the set of data points and constructing the Piecewise Linear Interpolating Surface (PLIS) to the given function values. The PLIS is combined of planar triangular facets with vertices at the data points. The roughness measure of a P...

A new methodology for determining the radial elastic modulus of a one-dimensional nanostructure laid on a substrate has been developed. The methodology consists of the combination of contact resonance atomic force microscopy (AFM) with finite element analysis, and we illustrate it for the case of faceted AlN nanotubes with triangular cross-sections. By making precision measurements of the reson...

We synthesize the three-fold symmetric shield-like Au@Pd core-shell nanocrystals, enclosed predominantly by high-index {541} facets with kinks, through the simultaneous reduction of Au and Pd ions in the presence of triangular Au nanocrystal seeds in aqueous solution at room-temperature. The obtained shield-like Au@Pd core-shell nanocrystals exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity for the ox...

This paper describes a new class of adaptive mesh surface for terrain analysis. The novelty of the contribution resides in the control of the mesh. We use a variance-bias criterion to select the optimal areas for the triangular facets of the mesh.In this way the mesh adapts itself to o er the best tradeo between increasing the facet area to minimise the noise variance and deccreasing the facet ...
