Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology holds great potential for breaking through the bottlenecks in current photonic and optoelectronic networks. Recently a revolution has been witnessed in the field of lithium niobate (LN) photonics. Over the past decade nanoscale LN waveguides with a propagation loss of ~0. 01 dB and a radius of curvature on the level of ~100 μm have been demonstrated. The revolution mainly benefits from two technological advancements the maturity of lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) technology and the innovation of nanofabrication approaches of high-quality LNOI photonic structures. Using low-loss waveguides and high-quality-factor (high-Q) microresonators produced on the LNOI platform as building blocks various integrated photonic devices have been demonstrated with unprecedented performances. The breakthroughs have reshaped the landscape of the LN industry. This is the first monograph on LN nanophotonics enabled by the LNOI platform. It comprehensively reviews the development of fabrication technology investigations on nonlinear optical processes and demonstrations of electro-optical devices as well as applications in quantum light sources spectroscopy sensing and microwave-to-optical wave conversion. The book begins with an overview of the technological evolution of PICs justifying the motivation for developing LNOI photonics. The next four chapters focus on LNOI photonics. The book concludes with a summary of the milestone achievements discussed in these chapters and provides a future perspective of this area of research. | Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Solar Power and Energy Storage Systems

Extensive study of solar energy is increasing as fast as the threat of global warming is getting serious. Solar energy is considered the best source of renewable energy because it is clean and unlimited. Solar radiation can be harnessed and converted into different forms of energy that does not pollute the environment. In order to transform solar radiation we need collectors of sunlight such as solar cells. The main challenges are energy security the increasing prices of carbon-based energy sources and global warming. We cannot use sunlight during the night so an energy storage system (ESS) is necessary. The best ESS is one with high power and high energy density. This book introduces the basic concepts of an ESS. Written by Prof. Hee-Je Kim who leads an interdisciplinary team at the Pusan National University this book compiles and details the cutting-edge research that is revolutionizing solar energy by improving its efficiency and storage techniques through the development of engineered sunlight.

Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

This book describes the ultra-short laser–matter interactions from the subtle atomic motion to the generation of extreme pressures inside the bulk of a transparent crystal. It is the successor to Femtosecond Laser–Matter Interactions: Theory Experiment and Applications (2011). Explanation and experimental verification of the exceptional technique for the phase transformations under high pressure are in the core of the book. The novel phase formation occurs along the unique solid-plasmasolid transformation path: the memory of the initial state is lost after conversion to plasma. New phase forms from chaos during the cooling to the ambient. The pressure-affected material remains detained inside a pristine crystal at the laboratory tabletop. Unique super-dense aluminium and new phases of silicon were created by the confined micro-explosions. The text also describes the recent studies that used the quasi-non-diffracting Bessel beams. The applications comprise the new high-pressure material formation and micromachining. The book is an appealing source for readers interested in the cutting-edge research exploring extreme conditions and creating nanostructures at the laboratory tabletop. | Femtosecond Laser-Matter Interactions Solid-Plasma-Solid Transformations at the Extreme Energy Density

The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

The Shroud of Turin is the most important and studied relic in the world. The many scientific studies on the relic until today have failed to provide conclusive answers about the identity of the enveloped man and the dynamics regarding the image impressed therein. This book not only addresses these issues in a scientific and objective manner but also leads the reader through new search paths. In the second edition besides including some of the most recent findings on the Shroud the authors follow the many tips and comments received from readers. The Shroud’s dating by means of alternative methods has not been free from controversies some of which have even implied the non-authenticity of the Shroud’s samples tested. So the authors duly expand Chapter 7 to include the proof of the origin of the samples used in the recent scientific research and also address the provenance and the path of the original sample. Furthermore a new section contains a personal interview with the authors that is the result of the interesting and praiseworthy work of a Bavarian high school student. Although there are many books on the subject none contains such a formidable quantity of scientific news and reports. Unique in its genre this book is a powerful tool for those who want to study the Turin Shroud deeply. | The Shroud of Turin First Century after Christ

Environmental Ethical and Economical Issues of Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is moving out of its comfort zone of scientific discourse. As new products go to market and national and international organizations roll out public-engagement programs on nanotechnology to discuss environmental and health issues various sectors of the public are beginning to discuss what the controversy is all about. Nongovernmental organizations have long since reacted; however now the social sciences have begun to study the cultural phenomenon of nanotechnology thus extending discourses and opening out nanotechnology to whole new social dimensions. These dimensions and their newly constructed imaginings around nanotechnology intersect with the ecology health governance economy and illusory futures. There is always a need for more than just an ELSI (ethical legal and social implications) sideshow within nanotechnology. The collective public imaginings of nanotechnology include tangles of science and science fiction local enterprises and global transformation all looking forward toward a sustainable future while looking back on the past debates on science and nature. This book highlights the environmental health and economical concerns of nanotechnology and discusses its future research directions. It provides academia and industry a high-tech start-up that will revolutionize modern practices. With little and outdated literature available on the topic this timely book will be helpful for the readers as it thoroughly covers the environmental ethical and economical issues of nanotechnology.

Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

These days advanced multiscale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry studied by universities and used in several applications. Unlike for macromaterials it is difficult to obtain the physical mechanical electrical and thermal properties of nanomaterials because of the scale. Designers however must have knowledge of these properties to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis. This is the book that brings this knowledge within easy reach. What makes the book unique is the fact that its approach that combines multiscale multiphysics and statistical analysis with multiscale progressive failure analysis. The combination gives a very powerful tool for minimizing tests improving accuracy and understanding the effect of the statistical nature of materials in addition to the mechanics of advanced multiscale materials all the way to failure. The book focuses on obtaining valid mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials by accurate prediction and observed physical tests as well as by evaluation of test anomalies of advanced multiscale nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of different shapes such as chopped fiber spherical and platelet in polymeric ceramic and metallic materials. The prediction capability covers delamination fracture toughness impact resistance conductivity and fire resistance of nanocomposites. The methodology employs a high-fidelity procedure backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static fatigue dynamic and crack growth problems. Using the proposed approach a good correlation between the simulation and experimental data is established. | Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications

Three Daughters Three Journeys Quest for Cancer Cure

Cancer threatens the lives of people around the world. Women in particular are at risk of certain cancers with a genetic cause. Certain mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes put mothers and daughters at risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Unlike many cancers that most commonly occur after age 60 these inheritable cancers threaten women’s lives health and fertility even when they are young before most would even begin to go for annual mammogram screenings to check for breast cancer. Three Daughters Three Journeys takes on the biggest health issue of our time from a global perspective with three heroines fighting for their lives against cancer. Marzena a Polish oncology nurse has spent her life treating child patients with cancer. Then she confronts it in her own family and her own body. Kamola a rural Indian girl knows she has symptoms of the same disease that took her mother but feels afraid to discuss it with her father and brothers knowing her family cannot afford medical treatment. Kamola confides in Dr Rini Mishra a doctor testing a new treatment called Neelazin using a bacterial anticancer protein in food to destroy cancer cells. Selena a wealthy woman of color in Chicago finds out about her genetic risks of breast and ovarian cancer. She has a choice of preventative surgery that will save her life but remove any chance of having children. As she meets women who struggle to afford cancer treatment Selena dedicates her life to providing affordable homes and counseling to families affected by the disease. Although the drug Neelazin is fictional the possibility of new cancer treatments using bacterial anticancer proteins is being researched now. A problem with the current chemotherapy for cancer treatment is the high toxicity of most of these drugs as these drugs can enter both normal and cancer cells though preferably cancer cells causing the death of normal cells as well that are important in maintaining health. Another problem is that current chemotherapeutic drugs mostly target a single or few key steps that are important for cancer growth and proliferation and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. The cancer cells respond by quickly changing these single targets thereby becoming resistant to the drugs as is reflected in stage IV cancer patients. An alternative to chemotherapy would be to exploit the bacterial evolutionary wisdom and use certain proteins that can have preferential entry to cancer cells in order to minimize normal cell toxicity and multiple targets in cancer cells through protein–protein complex formation thus reducing resistance development in cancer cells. An interesting advantage of protein drugs is to express them as part of food and some recent research seems to suggest that oral consumption of such foods may allow the therapeutic protein to reach the blood stream to target the cancer. Women with the genetic risk factors could soon have the choice of taking a pill or such anticancer protein-expressing food to treat or prevent cancer rather than removing the healthy tissue of the breasts and ovaries. Hopefully they would not have to choose between fertility and survival as is the implied message in this book fictional as it is at this time. | Three Daughters Three Journeys Quest for Cancer Cure
