We report strong third-harmonic generation in monolayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred to an amorphous silica (glass) substrate; the photon energy is in three-photon resonance with the exciton-shifted van Hove singularity at the M point of graphene. The polarization selection rules are derived and experimentally verified. In addition, our polarization- and azimuthal-rotation-dependent third-harmonic-generation measurements reveal in-plane isotropy as well as anisotropy between the in-plane and out-of-plane nonlinear optical responses of graphene. Since the third-harmonic signal exceeds that from bulk glass by more than 2 orders of magnitude, the signal contrast permits background-free scanning of graphene and provides insight into the structural properties of graphene.
We investigate a method to create nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond using a focused-heliu m-ion-microscopy. Near-surface NV centers can be created with spatial resolution below 0.6μm. NV center spectral line w...

Formation of domain structures in two-step phase separation in Fe-based Fe-Ni-Al alloys are investigated by applying a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) model. The present authors recently developed a TDGL formulation for ordering processes of B2 and D03 in binary alloys, taking into account the symmetrical relationships between these ordered phases. In this formulation, multiple types of variants of the structures are represented by three order parameters which can be measured independently through crystal structure factors. Mean-field free energies are defined in a form of Landau type expansion with the order parameters and a composition parameter. Interfacial energies due to local variations of degrees of order and composition are given in a gradient square approximation. Kinetic equations for time-evolution of the order parameters and the composition one are derived from the Ginzburg-Landau type potential consisting of the mean-field free energies and the interfacial energy terms. On the other hand, coauthors have investigated domain structures in two-step phase separation of Fe-based Fe-Ni-Al alloys. The evolution of three-dimensional domain structures and composition profiles has been analyzed by electron tomography imaging and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In this work the authors performed three-dimensional numerical simulations assuming the thermal processing. The results of the simulations well reproduced the characteristics of the micro-structures obtained from the observations.

On the other hand, coauthors have investigated domain structures in two-step phase separation of Fe-based Fe-Ni-Al alloys. Micro-structures in the super alloys consist of B2 ordered domains and A2 disordered matrices in the first stage of phase separation. The second stage during a subsequent aging leads to formation of B2 domains and A2 phase regions in the former A2 matrices and B2 domains, respectively. The evolution of three-dimensional domain structures and composition profiles has been analyzed by electron tomography imaging and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In this work the authors have applied the TDGL formulation to this alloy system, and performed three-dimensional numerical simulations assuming the thermal processing. The results of the simulations well reproduced the characteristics of the micro-structures obtained from the observations.

Oceanic intrusions of dense, hypoxic water regularly occur at the entrance to Puget Sound, WA (USA), and may be significant to regional dissolved oxygen levels. Seabed observations at Admiralty Inlet from 2009 to 2013 show a strong correlation of low dissolved oxygen concentrations with high salinity, coincident with residual currents directed inward to Puget Sound. These intrusions of dense water to Puget Sound likely are related to estuarine exchange flows, which are expected to occur during conditions for minimal tidal mixing. Observations are consistent with minimal mixing, which occurs during the neap tides and maximum diurnal inequalities (and especially during solar equinoxes, when these effects are combined). However, tidal conditions alone cannot predict intrusions of hypoxic ocean water to Puget Sound. Coastal upwelling and Fraser River discharge influence the availability of dense, hypoxic water outside of Puget Sound. This likely is related to the larger-scale exchange flow in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which connects Puget Sound to the North Pacific Ocean. This large scale process adds a strong seasonal modulation to the intrusion of hypoxic water. This paper develops a method to diagnose hypoxic intrusion events at Admiralty Inlet. The method is based, empirically, on seabed observations, but application of the method relies on operational data products. Using only tidal elevation datum and indices for coastal upwelling and river discharge, 100% of events with dissolved oxygen less than 4.0 mg/L are identified in the 3 year record.

Small scale explosively driven fragmentation experiments have been performed on Aluminum (Al)-Tungsten (W) granular composite rings processed using cold isostatic compression of Al and W powders with a particle size of 4-30 microns. Fragments collected from the experiments had a maximum size of the order of a few hundred micrometers. This is a dramatic reduction in the fragment size when compared to the 1-10 mm typical for a homogeneous material such as solid aluminum under similar loading conditions. Numerical simulations of the experiment were performed to elucidate the mechanisms of fragmentation that were responsible for this shift in fragmentation size scales. Simulations were performed with a significantly stronger explosive driver to examine how the mechanisms of fragmentation change when the detonation pressure increases.

We propose a method relating internal human organ geometries and non-invasively acquired information such as demographic and anthropometric data. We first apply a dimensionality reduction technique to a training dataset to represent the organ geometry with low dimensional feature coordinates. Regression analysis is then used to determine a regression function between feature coordinates and the external measurements of the subjects. Feature coordinates for the organ of an unknown subject are then predicted from external measurements using the regression function, subsequently the organ geometry is estimated from the feature coordinates. As an example case, lung shapes represented as a point distribution model was analyzed based on demographic (age, gender, race), and several anthropometric measurements (height, weight, and chest dimensions). The training dataset consisted of 124 topologically consistent lung shapes created from thoracic CT scans. The prediction error of lung shape of an unknown subject based on 11 demographic and anthropometric information was 10.71 ± 5.48 mm. This proposed approach is applicable to scenarios where the prediction of internal geometries from external parameters is of interest. Examples include the use of external measurements as a prior information for image quality improvement in low dose CT, and optimization of CT scanning protocol.

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that electrically gated single-layer graphene can be used to inductively tune the infrared optical response of Fano-resonant meta-surfaces. Several implementations will be introduced: graphene of the meta-surface, graphene directly under the meta-surface, and graphene separated by a thin spacer from the meta-surface. Both electrostatic and chemical doping of graphene will be discussed and supporting experimental results presented. Finally, we will demonstrate how the spectral shifts of metamaterials resonances introduced by the graphene can be utilized to extract graphene's electronic properties such as the complex-valued resistivity.
