The limits of pushing storage density to the atomic scale are explored with a memory that stores a bit by the presence or absence of one silicon atom. These atoms are positioned at lattice sites along self-assembled tracks with a pitch of five atom rows. The memory can be initialized and reformatted by controlled deposition of silicon. The writing process involves the transfer of Si atoms to the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope. The limits of pushing storage density to the atomic scale are explored with a memory that stores a bit by the ....etc

At an interface between two transparent media of different refractive index (glass and water), light coming from the side of higher refractive index is partly reflected and partly refracted. Above a certain critical angle of incidence, no light is refracted across the interface, and total internal reflection is observed. While incident light is totally reflected the electromagnetic field component penetrates a short (tens of nanometers) distance into a medium of a lower refractive index creating an exponentially detenuating evanescent wave. If ....etc

History of surface plasmon resonance
• Since its first observation by Wood in 1902 ,the physical phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has found its way into practical applications in sensitive detectors, capable of detecting sub-monomolecular coverage.
• Wood observed a pattern of ‘‘anomalous’’ dark and light bands in the reflected light, when he shone polarized light on a mirror with a diffraction grating on its surface.
• a complete explanat ....etc

The effect of sub surface defects in surface roughness monitoring through ultrasonic flaw detector.
Objective
 To study the effect of sub surface defects in surface roughness monitoring through ultrasonic flaw detector.
 To study the sizing of defects.
Ultrasound Concepts
• All sound waves, whether audible or ultrasonic, are mechanical vibrations involving movement of the medium in which they are traveling. A sound wave may be transmitted through any material which behaves in an elastic manner.

Surface mount technology is an easiest and prefect form of mounting components in Printed Circuit Boards. It entails making reliable interconnections on the board at great speeds, at reduced cost. To achieve these, SMT needed new types of surface mount components, new testing techniques, new assembling technique, new mounting techniques and a new set of design guidelines.

SMT is completely different from insertion mounting. The difference depends on the availability and cost of surface mounting elements. Thus the designer has no c ....etc

ABSTRACT

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a phenomenon occurring at metal surfaces(typically gold and silver) when an incident light beam strikes the surface at a particular angle.Depending on the thickness of a molecular layer at the metal surface,the SPR phenomenon results in a graded reduction in intensity of the reflected light.Biomedical applications take advantage of the exquisite sensitivity of SPR to the refractive index of the medium next to the metal surface, which makes it possible to measure accurately the adsorption of molecul ....etc

Vertical Cavity surface Emission Lasers (VCSEL) are lasers that emit light from their surface in contrast with regular ???edge emittersâ„¢. Also they have got a vertical cavity , as the name suggests, which enables surface emission.???Vixels??? , as they are commonly called ,have several superior characteristics compared to their edge emitting counter parts.

VCSEL Semiconductor micro laser diodes which emit light perpendicular to their PN junction in a cylindrical beam vertically from the surface of a fabricated wafer and feature circul ....etc
