Biodegradable magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using Poly(L-Lactic Acid) and magnetite nanoparticles (∼14 nm) at different dosages, and then these nanaoparticles (nanocomposites) and pure magnetic particles were targeted in external magnetic fields by changing the test parameters. The magnetic field test results showed that magnetic saturation, fluid speed, magnetic field distance and particle size were extremely effective for a magnetic guidance system that is needed for an effective drug delivery approach. Thus, it is assumed that such nanoparticles can carry drugs (chemotherapy) to be able to cure cancer tumors as well as many other diseases.

An investigation of methods for class mean and covariance initialization of a stochastic mixing model for hyperspectral imagery is described along with other relevant issues concerning algorithm convergence such as updating of the class priors, constraining the mixture classes and the number of fraction levels and endmember classes. The various refinements of the iterative algorithm are presented and tested on synthetically-generated test data as well as real reflective hyperspectral imagery, and recommendations are made concerning how the stochastic mixing model can be best implemented. The results show that the refined stochastic mixing model is a robust approach for unmixing hyperspectral imagery with different levels of complexity.

Using a novel electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) method to incorporate CdSe quantum dots into polymer we have successfully synthesized ultrathin films. This method allows the molecular-level thickness control and layer-by-layer formation of multilayer thin and thick films using alternative anionic and cationic molecular solution dipping. From ellipsometric measurements, we obtained that the thickness of per bilayer is around 3.7 nm. UV-vis absorption spectra versus the number of bilayers have also been obtained using an Hitachi 2001 spectrometer. The size of CdSe quantum dots has been measured using transmission electron microscopy before the CdSe quantum dots are incorporated and confirmed using atomic force microscopy after the formation of the film, respectively. Both measurements indicate that the diameter of the CdSe quantum dots is 2-3 nm. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the concentration of the CdSe quantum dots in the film is 2.14%.

We report the OpenMP parallel implementation of a finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for computational electrodynamics. We have identified several time-intensive procedures in the program and parallelized the major loops within them after careful examination. Different loop scheduling schemes have been used and tested in order to reduce computation times. The final parallelized version speeds up the computation by nearly a factor of four between the single processor and eight processor test runs on an SGI Origin 2000 parallel system. The speedup plateaus after eight CPUs, but we expect better scalability will be achieved if larger problem sizes are used. Besides the advantage of reduced execution times, our parallel program can also solve FDTD problems of much larger sizes than the sequential code due to much larger memory space available to us on parallel systems.

electro-optic polymer thin-films were characterized at microwave frequencies, for possible applications in GHz modulators. Single layers of the polymers were spin coated on low loss magnesium oxide substrates for characterizing the polymers at microwave frequencies. Coplanar waveguide test structures were designed for evaluation of the relative dielectric permittivity as well as the loss-tangent of the polymers at microwave frequencies. A conformal mapping technique was used for the extraction of relative dielectric constant of the polymer films based on the microwave scattering parameter measurements. As an example, a DR1-PMMA polymer had a relative dielectric permittivity of 3.01 and a loss-tangent of 0.075 at 8 GHz. The design of the test structures, the procedure for the accurate determination of the dielectric permittivity and the loss-tangent of the polymer films are discussed in this paper.

The GaN-rich side of GaP/sub x/N/sub 1-x/ alloy exhibits a potentially large bandgap bowing with only a small amount of P incorporation. As a result, there could be interesting device applications. GaN:P layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaN template layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. GaP was used as the phosphorus source, P/sub 2/, and the N/sub 2/ plasma as the nitrogen source.
