Nonlinear differential equations for the reflection coefficients of an inhomogeneous lossy medium illuminated by both TE-polarized and TM-polarized electromagnetic plane waves are derived using a ...

In this paper, a fifth-order variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the propagation of the attosecond pulses in an optical fiber. Via the Hirota’s method ...

The van der Waals (vdW) equation of state has long fascinated researchers and engineers, largely because of its simplicity and engineering flexibility. At the same time as vdW and other equations of ...

This paper describes a layer-by-layer epitaxial approach to the synthesis of multishelled nanocrystals composed of alternating shells of Pd and Pt by starting with seeds made of Pd or Pt nanocrystals.
