COMPARISON OF CPML IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR THE GPU-ACCELERATED FDTD SOLVER
2011
Three distinctively difierent implementations of convolu- tional perfectly matched layer for the FDTD method on CUDA enabled graphics processing units are presented. All implementations store ad- ditional variables only inside the convolutional perfectly matched lay- ers, and the computational speeds scale according to the thickness of these layers. The merits of the difierent approaches are discussed, and a comparison of computational performance is made using complex real-life benchmarks.
Element-Selective Magnetic Imaging in Exchange-Coupled Systems by Magnetic Photoemission Microscopy
1998
We have used a photoemission microscope to obtain element-resolved magnetic contrast in stacked magnetic thin film systems. Magnetic information is thereby provided by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Elemental sensitivity, which is crucial for studying magnetic coupling phenomena in systems with several different layers, is achieved by tuning the energy of the illuminating photons to atomic absorption edges. We present measurements of a Ni-coated Co micropattern on Cu(001), and a wedged Co/Cr/Fe(001) sample. In the former sample the Ni magnetization is seen to follow the magnetization of the Co pattern, thereby changing from an out-of-plane easy axis in areas without underlying Co to in…
Preparation and crystal structure of the oxalato-bridged CrIII–AgItwo-dimensional compound {Ag3(H2O)[Cr(dpa)(ox)2]3}n·2nH2O (dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamin…
2004
The reaction of the mononuclear complex [Cr(dpa)(ox)2]− (dpa = 2,2-dipyridylamine) with Ag+ in aqueous solution affords the two-dimensional compound {Ag3(H2O)[Cr(dpa)(ox)2]3}n·2nH2O (1) whose structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Six crystallographically independent metal atoms (three chromium and three silver atoms) occur in 1. The three [Cr(dpa)(ox)2]− units in 1 act as ligands towards the silver atoms through the two oxalate groups. Each oxalate group acts as bridging ligand adopting five coordination modes: bis-bidentate, bis-bidentate/monodentate (outer), bis-bidentate/monodentate (inner), bidentate/bis-monodentate (outer) and bidentate/monodentate (outer).…
Tenfold increase in efficiency from a reference blue OLED
2018
Abstract Starting from a reference single-layer light-emitting diode based on the blue phosphorescent bis-cyclometallated iridium complex FIrpic as guest, hosted in a PVK (non-conjugated poly(vynilcarbazole)) matrix, different strategies are followed to improve the efficiency of the devices through the combination of solution processed and evaporated layers. Injection of charges from the electrodes has been varied by using different conductive PEDOT: PSS as hole injection layer and a nanoscale Cs2CO3 interlayer as electron injection and hole-blocking film. Furthermore, a separated electron injection/hole blocking evaporated layer, TPBi or 3TPYMB, is introduced in double-layer devices to enh…

1986
Abstract Calcium hydrogenselenite monohydrate and dicalcium diselenite bis(hydrogenselenite) were synthesized and their crystal structures determined. Crystal data for Ca(HSeO3)2 · H2O: a = 6.911(2), b = 7.369(2), c = 6.739(2) A, α = 90.51(3)°, β = 90.93(3)°, γ = 107.46(2)°, V = 327.3(2) A3, space group P 1 (No. 2), dcalcd = 3.19 M gm−3, Z = 2, and R = 0.036 for 1503 reflections. Data for Ca2(HSeO3)2(Se2O5): a = 14.719(4), b = 7.059(2), c = 11.793(2) A, β = 117.96(2)°, V = 1082.3(4) A3, space group C2 c (No. 15), dcalcd = 3.52 Mg m−3, Z = 4, and R = 0.047 for 1251 reflections. Both structures form a three-dimensional network. The coordination polyhedron around calcium is a monocapped trigon…
Defects in yttrium aluminium perovskite and garnet crystals: atomistic study
2000
Native and impurity point defects in both yttrium aluminium perovskite (YAP) and garnet (YAG) crystals are studied in the framework of the pair-potential approximation coupled with the shell model description of the lattice ions. The calculated formation energies for native defects suggest that the antisite disorder is preferred over the Frenkel and Schottky-like disorder in both YAP and YAG. The calculated values of the distortion caused by the antisite YAl x in the lattice turn out to be in an excellent agreement with the EXAFS measurements. In non-stoichiometric compounds, the calculated reaction energies indicate that excess Y2 O3 or Al2 O3 is most likely to be accommodated by the forma…
Hot electron effects in metallic single electron components
1996
Thermalisation of single electron devices is of considerable current interest because of its fundamental and practical consequences. We present experimental evidence of the effect of electrode volume and its shape on thermal equilibration of small metallic islands for single electron tunnelling. Heat transport between the conduction electrons and the lattice in a metal is commonly accepted to obey the ∝Te5-T0/5 law at low electron and lattice temperatures,Te andT0, respectively. We have investigated the power law and found that it obeys the ∝T5 law only for the smallest islands, and in the majority of the cases considered, it rather follows a law ∝Tp, wherep<5. The thermal coupling can be i…
Electromagnetic behaviour of superconductive amorphous metals
2005
The penetration depth of the magnetic field into an amorphous superconductor is calculated. The ratio of the London penetration depth δL to the electron free path le under zero temperature is above unity for almost all amorphous metals. That is why pure metals, in a superconducting state, change from type I superconductors to type II superconductors during the crystalline–amorphous transition.

Es wird uber die Gradientenabhangigkeit der Viskositat von Polymeren mit hohem Molekulargewicht in Losungsmitteln ublicher Viskositat berichtet. Die Ermittlung von [η] fur verschwindenden Gradienten [η]G→0 und besonders fur sehr hohe Gradienten [η]G→∞ wird diskutiert.
Development of core-shell colloids to study self-diffusion in highly concentrated dispersions
2007
To study single particle motion in highly concentrated colloidal dispersions, a host-tracer colloid system was developed, consisting of crosslinked polymer micronetwork spheres placed in a good solvent. The host colloid is made invisible to the experimental probe by matching its refractive index to that of the solvent. For the tracer particles a core-shell structure was chosen to ensure the interaction potential to be identical to that of the host particles. Therefore the shell was made of the same polymer as the host. The core differs in refractive index from the solvent and is therefore visible due to scattered light.
