Visible and ultraviolet plasma lines of the He-Ne gas laser
B. D. E. McNiven, M. J. Clouter, G. Todd Andrews
A study of Helium-Neon laser plasma lines was done using a double grating spectrometer and a He-Ne laser with an emission wavelength of 632.8 nm (15,802 cm). The absolute wa…
Contact Angle Studies on Porous Silicon: Evidence for Heterogeneous Wetting and Implications of Oxidation
S. J. Spencer, C. G. Deacon, G. T. Andrews
A study of wetting was carried out on porous silicon films with pore diameters spanning three orders of magnitude. Water contact angle measurements on adjoining porous and nonporou…
Influence of incommensurate structure on the elastic constants of crystalline BiSrCaCuO by Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy
B. D. E. McNiven, J. P. F. LeBlanc, G. T. Andrews
Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy was used to probe the room-temperature elasticity of crystalline high- superconductor BiSrCaCuO. A complete set of…
Single particle properties of the 2D Hubbard model for real frequencies at weak coupling: Breakdown of the Dyson series for partial self-energy expansions
Bradley D. E. McNiven, G. Todd Andrews, James P. F. LeBlanc
We generate the perturbative expansion of the single-particle Green's function and related self-energy for a half-filled single-band Hubbard model on a square lattice. We invoke al…
Optical Constants of Crystalline BiSrCaCuO by Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy
B. D. E. McNiven, J. P. F. LeBlanc, G. T. Andrews
Room-temperature optical constants of crystalline BiSrCaCuO were determined using data extracted from Brillouin light scattering spectra. Optical extinction coe…
