Even longtime North Georgia residents are struck at how Gainesville's Atlanta Highway transformed so quickly.
Many remember the movie "The Last Picture Show," which came out in 1971 and starred Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd. It was about a dying Texas town whose businesses, including the movie show, were failing.
Connie Propes and other neighbors where Wal-Mart is building a grocery and installing gas pumps on Thompson Bridge Road in Gainesville are researching the history of the area, in particular Slaughterhouse Creek, which might be affected by rainfall runoff from the development. The creek eventually feeds into Lake Lanier.
During the recent razing of several sorority houses at Brenau University in Gainesville, students and alumni gathered in groups at times to snap photos and hopefully get a brick or other piece of memorabilia from the rubble.
The east side of Gainesville's downtown square in the 1950s was dominated by clothing stores, most of them what you would consider discount shops today.
At the height of the Lumpkin County gold rush, people from all over the country were coming to North Georgia to pursue their personal fortune. Locals sometimes were prone to take advantage of gullible outside prospectors.
Editor's note: For many years, Johnny Vardeman, retired editor of The Times, would write his annual "'mater sammich" column as homegrown tomatoes started coming in during the summer. "'Maters and Music" will be the theme for a tomato sandwich event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Byron Herbert Reece Farm and Heritage Center one mile north of Vogel State Park, 9 miles south of Blairsville on U.S. 129.
A century will have passed Monday since the beginning of World War I, which started July 28, 1914, when Austria declared war on Serbia. The United States didn't enter until three years later, declaring war on Germany.
One of the oldest camp meetings in North Georgia begins Monday at the historic Antioch Campground on Antioch Campground Road in west Hall County.
"County agents," as we call them, date back in Georgia 100 years. They are part of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, celebrating its centennial this year helping residents with home, garden and farm advice.
On this Independence Day Weekend, take a brief look at Lyman Hall, for whom Hall County is named.
Nancy Terrell Furr hid in a cabin during the Civil War while Union soldiers plundered the countryside, picked all the pears from a tree nearby and killed the only cow she owned.
OK, all you local history buffs, here's your chance to display your knowledge with this little trivia test. Answers to the questions are below:
Relative newcomers to Hall County, and even longtime residents whose memory might be fuzzy, are curious about "what used to be" in Gainesville's downtown.
Near the intersection of Wilson Bridge and Martin Bridge roads off Exit 154 of Interstate 85 in Banks County, there once was a community called Arp.
Page 3 of 27
A somewhat significant anniversary passed in Gainesville this month without significant, if any, notice.
It has been inconvenient the last few days for those who use Clarks Bridge Road in northern Hall County as the new bridge is prepared for traffic shortly.
What was the atmosphere in Hall County in the months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941?
The C.C. Sanders chapter of the Children of the Confederacy was named for Col. Christopher Columbus Sanders, who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.
Gainesville was quite a different place a half century ago. The business center was downtown around the square, yet there were popular businesses on the town's outskirts. The teenagers and young people of that era frequented those "hangouts" much like the youngsters of today have their own favorite places to go.
Though the Memorial Day holiday is to remember those who died serving their country, it is spent by many as a day off work, festivals, parades or other fun activities. Some businesses, rather than close, use the weekend for special sales of merchandise or services.
The picture is of Gainesville's downtown square probably in the early 1900s before motorized vehicles were common and before "Old Joe," the Confederate statue was erected. The view is toward the west side of the square where Saul's, Frames You Nique and other stores stand today.
In the fall of 1920, Hall County students were studying in 21 schools.

After 15 years in government, the Veterans Affairs Department CIO is leaving public service.
Roger Baker made the announcement Feb. 15, in an internal memo to the VA IT department. saying he would retire "in the near future."
A source speaking on the condition of anonymity told FCW that Baker will be moving to the private sector, did not plan to reveal where until he has formally left government service. Baker's announcement made no mention of what he plans to do next.
In his dual role as CIO and assistant secretary for information and technology, Baker has directly managed the $3.3 billion organization of more than 7,500 IT professionals. Under Baker, IT became a critical part of the agency's fabric, focused on the transformative power of technology. When Baker joined the department in 2009, he and Secretary Eric Shinseki agreed VA should first "renovate IT and then use IT to renovate the department."
Although Baker stepped into the VA CIO role in 2009, his public-service career stretches back to 1998. As CIO for the Commerce Department, he worked to convert old systems and processes to e-commerce and improve technology management. He also played a role in creating the federal CIO position.
"Roger is one of those rare leaders who can set an inspiring vision and implement it in practical and effective ways to produce real results," said Julie Anderson, chief operating officer and managing director at Civitas Group and a close friend and former colleague of Baker's. "He is innovative, level-headed, and a consummate problem solver. He instituted accountability mechanisms, encouraged higher levels of performance from employees and contractors, and was a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. VA and the entire government is better off because of his service."
Before and in-between his government appointments, Baker was CEO and president at Dataline LLC, a Virginia-based IT services and integration company. He also served as CIO at General Dynamics Information Technology, and as an executive vice president and general manager at CACI International.
Baker also helped grow and sell three software/Internet companies. He served as chief operating officer of BlueGill Technologies, and as vice president of engineering and operations at VISA International, where he created the VISA Interactive Banking System; and as vice president of consulting and services for Verdix Corporation.
A repeat Federal 100 winner, Baker was most recently honored in 2013 for his leadership in establishing an IT software acquisition team, technology roadmap, and a streamlined analysis approach for strategic software sourcing options to create savings.
In a different, June 2012 event where he was recognized for excellence, Baker summed up his views on what leadership looks like, stressing the focus on results.
"I think a leader has to be the rock that results are built on in an organization, and really has to be focused on delivering those results," he said. "In the end, results are all that matter. We spend a lot of time on process in the government [but] process doesn't serve veterans. Process doesn't serve the taxpayers. Process doesn't serve all of our other mission focuses."

Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.
Members of Congress heaped hard questions on federal IT leaders at a June 16 hearing and suggested strongly that somebody needs to be fired.
Senate bill carves out exemption for supercomputing and other lab IT; an earlier version of the measure would have exempted the entire Department of Energy.
OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.
Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
I hate to say it since Mr. Baker deserves kudos for his leadership role across the Federal government but VA is still largely a disaster under the hood. When agile means release twice a year and they still have a largely unperformant internal data center fiefdom it means we really needed Mr. Baker to stay a while longer! Congratulations and thanks for the service!
Roger is a class act. I've watched him drive transformation in culturally challenging situations with minimal broken glass. Seriously, this will be a loss for VA and Fed IT in general.

"I recently stayed here with a group of 6 friends for a Whiteface Ski trip. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable for more than the amount of people that were in our group. The living spaces look even better in person than the photographs. Everyone had their own comfortable bed and there are 3 full bathrooms. There are some great pub style restaurants within walking distance and the center of the village is a quick drive away. The owner was very easy to work with and accommodated our particular needs. I would book the same house again when visiting the area in the future."Guest: Richard S. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 4, 2015View listing

Placid Views is within walking distance of everything in town including one of our restaurant faves, the Brown Dog, and we took short drives to Interlaken Inn, Cafe Rustica and Chair 6, so we were blissed out by the end of the week.

"Our kids ran in the Lake Placid Marathon on June 14th so we decided to make it a family weekend. We stayed on the 1st floor at Jack's place from June 12th to June 15th. All I can say is WOW!!! What a wonderful place to stay! Jack has done an amazing job remodeling this house! There was plenty of room for 8 of us to stay comfortably in this spacious home. The kitchen was amazing with a large table that easily seated 8 people!!! The bathrooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. Towels, sheets, and necessities were all provided making it so nice to leave the linens at home! We are looking forward to staying here again at some point next summer for another family vacation and will be renting the upstairs as well. We can hardly wait to bring more family with us next time so they can all experience a stay at Jack's place! Jack stopped by to make sure all was well! Rudy was the person who I corresponded with to reserve this home. He was terrific to deal with and kept me informed every step of the way making this a very easy transaction! You don't often find this kind of service! Many thanks to Jack and Rudy!!!"Guest: Marge Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 18, 2015View listing

Comments about Yamaha YBL-421G Intermediate Bass Trombone:
If you are looking for a single trigger, this bass is hard to beat in terms of price, tone, and quality. I think the comparable Kanstul and Conn models are nice too, but beware that consistency can vary a bit (IMHO). The string-action on the rotor is a bit cheezy, and the valve must be kept oiled every 2-3 weeks to prevent sticking, but so far it's never failed with proper maintenance. Slide action is perfect, and the 53-59 series mouthpieces are very good for higher and lower parts (respectively). The low C in 7th position is clear and full, and pedal notes can really sound huge! I love to play this bass at Mass with our organist.

Picture: Nicki Minaj The Green Auction : A Bid to Save the World at Christies. New York City, USA - 29.03.11
Rapper Nicki Minaj has spoken out to deny reports she is "openly bisexual", insisting the rumours are "definitely not true".
The Your Love hitmaker has been dogged by speculation about her sexuality after she joked about enjoying a threesome with singer Cassie and model/actress Lauren London last year (10).
The gossip was fuelled by a U.S. report suggesting she is "openly bisexual" and now she's decided to silence the rumours.
She tells rock magazine Q, "That's definitely not true... I guess some people are thrown off by me embracing gay culture. But I don't feel the need to explain that. Unless someone asks me a specific question."

Netflix Acquires Oscar-Nominated Short Doc 'The Lady in Number 6'
Malcolm Clarke's film followed Holocaust survivor Alice Herz-Sommer, who died on Sunday.
Just days before the Academy Awards, Netflix has acquired Oscar-nominated short documentary The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life.
The film, directed by Malcolm Clarke, centers on Alice Herz-Sommer, who was the world's oldest known Holocaust survivor at the time of filming. Sommer died in London at the age of 110 on Sunday, Feb. 23.
STORY: Netflix Wins First Oscar for 'The Lady in Number 6
The doc, which is a strong contender to win the best short documentary award on Sunday at the Academy Awards, will premiere on Nextflix on April 1, 2014, in the U.S. and Canada.
Clarke directed the film from a script co-written with Carl Freed. The film is produced by Nicholas Reed, Malcolm Clarke and Christopher Branch. The executive producers are Larry Abramson, Frederic Bohbot and Phillip B. Goldfine.
STORY: Oldest Known Holocaust Survivor Dies at 110
In 1943, Herz-Sommer, who was a pianist, and her husband and son were sent from Prague to a concentration camp in the Czech city of Terezin. She spent two years at the camp before being liberated by the Soviet army in May 1945.
"Telling Alice's story was a life-changing experience for everyone involved with the film. We are so glad to partner with Netflix so that their viewers will be able to enjoy Alice's infectious love of life and bright spirit," said Reed in a statement. "Netflix viewers and future generations will be able to learn so many life lessons from this most amazing woman."

Helen Jane Rose's TO FEAR WITH LOVE to Hit the Shelves in Sept 2014
A story of urban enlightenment, To Fear, With Love is a modern-day twist on the timeless truth of human transformation and transcendence. Follow heroine Alice Bailey as she overcomes emotional suffering and adversity, using them as a catalyst to find passion and love.
Publishing in September 2014 on Roundfire Books (imprint of John Hunt Publishing Ltd).
To her friends she had it all, a beautiful place in paradise and wealth beyond most people's wildest dreams. But behind closed doors Alice Bailey's life was anything but perfect... A story that draws you in and keeps you wondering what's coming next. A rollercoaster of highs and lows, of love and let-downs, traumas and triumphs. A book that leaves you believing that anything is possible when you are free from fear and full of love...
To Fear, With Love hits all the pressure points when it comes to dealing with terror in a so called 'loving' relationship. With frightening overtones masking visual scenes of grandeur and luxurious opulence, one firmly believes Alice has really paid the price, quite literally. However, it's the buckets of justice against all odds and the perfect ending that makes it a must read for those in search of self-discovery, spiritual healing and courage to find their way out. Kate Marshall, Freelance Writer, Editor and Producer
Author: Helen Jane Rose grew up in Essex, England. She attended the London College of Communication and graduated with a BA Hons in Journalism and then spent several years working in the radio and magazine industry. She now divides her time between her passions of writing, teaching mindfulness and practicing yoga and Reiki. To Fear, With Love is her debut novel.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
31 Dec 2010 19:36 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Argentina, Bolivia
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has laid the cornerstone for an embassy in Brazil - what will be the first such Palestinian delegation in the western hemisphere.
A ceremony was held on Friday to initiate the building's construction in Brasilia, the capital, and Abbas thanked Brazil for recognising his naiton's statehood, adding that other countries were following suit."We thank Brazil for its support in the construction of a Palestine state. This is a favour we will never forget," Abbas said.Brazil was the first of several South American countries in recent weeks to recognise a Palestinian state along pre-1967 borders.
'Seriously harmful'Since then Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia and Ecuador have done the same. Chile, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua are said to be considering recognition.Israel says the moves are "seriously harmful" to the Middle East peace process and Washington has called them "premature".However, direct peace talks revived by Washington in September after a year's suspension collapsed within weeks, and a US-backed drive to keep the process alive is in limbo.Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo, reporting from Brazil's capital Brasilia, said that Brazil's growing international influence is reflected in their recognition of a Palestinian state."When Brazil openly proclaims its recognition of Palestine, it does so because of its growing clout," he said.In the face of US opposition to a unilateral declaration, Palestinian diplomats are lobbying for widespread recognition of a state within the 1967 borders, recognised by the global community as Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.Riyad al-Maliki, the Palestinian foreign minister, said in a recent interview with local radio that as and when such support reaches critical mass his government is hoping to take their campaign to the UN Security Council (UNSC)."At a certain point, broad international recognition of statehood will enable the Palestinian leadership to turn to the UNSC and request full membership of the UN," he said."The efforts now under way to get [individual] states to recognise statehood are in preparation for turning to the UNSC."
UN pushShould the UNSC push fail due to a veto by one of the permanent members - the US, Russia, France, China and Britain - Palestinians argue that they could use a rule applied in the past that allows for the same request to be put to the General Assembly.A draft resolution by the Palestinians and Arab states calling for Israel to halt all settlement activities due to go before the UNSC shortly will show whether the US is willing to use its veto in support of Israel, as it has often done in the past.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the outgoing Brazilian president, has surprised many with his mediation efforts in the Middle East peace process.He also angered Washington earlier this year when he held talks with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, over the country's nuclear programme.In a further sign of growing pro-Palestinian sentiment in South America, Mercosur, the regional trade bloc, signed a trade agreement earlier this month with the Palestinian authority.Bolivia broke ties with Israel in 2009 after an attack by the latter on the Palestinian territories.Abbas will attend the swearing-in of Brazilian president-elect Dilma Rousseff on Saturday.

Since they max out their energy systems through complete anaerobic training, they see extreme metabolic increases after their training sessions and thus burn calories at a vastly accelerated rate all day long. It's not abnormal to see sprinters maintaining a metabolic rate 30-50% higher than the average individual, so with them burning up calories so rapidly, excess body fat will never be seen. This sport also works the fast-twitch muscle fibers almost exclusively without adding any outside weight, allowing the body to see great muscle definition with a lower amount of muscle bulk.

Phyllis Frelich, Stage Star of 'Children of a Lesser God,' Dies at 70
UPDATE: The deaf actress won a Tony Award for her leading role in the 1980 Broadway play. Marlee Matlin earned an Oscar for playing the part in the film version.
Phyllis Frelich, the deaf actress who won the best actress Tony Award in 1980 for her performance in the best play winner Children of a Lesser God, has died. She was 70.
Robert Steinberg, her husband of 46 years, told The Hollywood Reporter that Frelich for the past few years had been struggling with PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), a rare degenerative neurological disease for which there are no treatments. She died Thursday at their home in Temple City, Calif.
PSP is the disease that took the life of actor Dudley Moore at age 66 in 2002.
Marlee Matlin was the recipient of the best actress Oscar for playing Sarah Norman, the role that Frelich originated, in the 1986 Paramount Pictures film version. Matlin said on Twitter that she was "devastated … [Frelich] was a TRUE talent. RIP"
In the original Broadway play, a speech therapist (John Rubinstein) who works at a school for the deaf falls in love with a maid/student at the school, played by Frelich. It was written by Mark Medoff and first performed in a workshop production at New Mexico State University, with Frelich and Steinberg starring.
"You paved so many roads for us, Phyllis," the Deaf West Theatre group of North Hollywood said on its Facebook page. "A leading light of our community has been lost, and we mourn deeply."
Frelich, born to deaf parents and the oldest of nine deaf children in her family, earned an Emmy nomination for her supporting role in the 1985 Hallmark Hall of Fame miniseries Love Is Never Silent and had a regular role as a deaf nun on the NBC soap opera Santa Barbara.
She also appeared on such TV series as Barney Miller, Gimme a Break!, Spenser: For Hire, Hunter, L.A. Law, Pacific Blue, ER, Diagnosis Murder and, most recently, in a 2011 episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as the mother of Gil Grissom (William Petersen).
She performed the American Sign Language interpretation of Jewel's rendition of the national anthem at the Super Bowl in 1998.
A native of Devils Lake, N.D., Frelich attended the North Dakota School for the Deaf and then Gallaudet University in Washington.
In addition to her husband, survivors include their sons Reuben and Joshua. The family asks that donations in the name of Phyllis Frelich Steinberg be made to CurePSP.
"Phyllis hoped that her suffering could help raise awareness of the disease and maybe prompt some drug company somewhere to get busy," Steinberg said.

Picture: John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten The Sex Pistols performing live at The Joint Las Vegas, Nevada - 07.06.08
Punk icon John Lydon has a newfound respect for British monarch Queen Elizabeth II after watching Helen Mirren portray her on the big screen.
The Sex Pistols star, who once sneered at royalty in the song God Save The Queen, admits he found Mirren's film The Queen hilarious, but it also helped him understand what the monarch went through when her former daughter-in-law Princess Diana was killed in a 1997 car crash.
He says, "I was rolling around on the floor with laughter - and at the same time empathising with the Queen.
"I understand what her role is and how deeply frustrating it is to be cartouched into a corset of rules and regulation that absolutely stifle creativity."

As the Boston Bruins embarked on defending the Stanley Cup last fall, Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee told colleague Peter Chiarelli "you guys might be better this year than you were last year."
McPhee may very well be right. This is essentially the same group that captured the Cup last year, but with second-year center Tyler Seguin one year older and the experience of winning fresh in their minds.
They're the big, bad Bruins for a reason, as size and strength continue to be hallmarks of coach Claude Julien's team, but they've become even deeper. This is the only NHL team with six 20-goal scorers, and all four lines are dangerous at both ends of the ice.
Veteran right wing Brian Rolston, acquired at the trade deadline, was even taken aback by the Bruins' depth.
"On the outside, you don't realize it as much," Rolston said. "But as soon as you get back in and see how this team runs, it's very evident. You have to have that."
It's how the Bruins tick. Shut down Milan Lucic and David Krejci and there are Seguin, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and Chris Kelly.
"They have a really good team," Capitals defenseman Roman Hamrlik said. "They won last year, and if you look at their lineup, [all lines] have somebody who can put the puck in the net."
Up front is where Boston shines, but depth continues on defense, past Norris Trophy candidate Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg down to Johnny Boychuk and deadline acquisition Greg Zanon. McPhee remarked that the Bruins "do everything well."
It didn't hurt to bring in Rolston, Zanon and Mike Mottau at the trade deadline. Adding veterans to an already-winning mix helped the Bruins finish the season 9-2-1.
"It's always nice to have guys like that who have such great personalities and experiences," Chara said. "Rolly played over 1,200 games in this league, so to add somebody of that caliber, it always helps because you can talk to the young guys, you can add what he went through with different teams."
After a tour that included stops with the Minnesota Wild, New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders, Rolston is back in Boston, where he spent parts of five seasons earlier this decade. In 21 games since his trade from New York, the 39-year-old has three goals and 12 assists.
Rolston said the idea of a veteran presence can be overstated, but he has thrived because Julien gave him a purpose within the team right away.
"It's a matter of guys coming in and helping the team more than anything. There's more leaders in this locker room; you can point anywhere in this locker room, there's leadership," he said. "They were going through a rough time, and you've got to help on the ice. That's most important, and that's what really defines a leader. I wanted to come in and try to help this team."
Speedy winger Rich Peverley, one of ex-Caps coach Bruce Boudreau's favorite players on the Bruins, pointed to Rolston, Mottau and even goaltender Marty Turco and their leadership as being vital down the stretch. Turco served as Tim Thomas' backup in recent weeks but isn't eligible for the playoffs. Regular backup Tukka Rask has been sidelined since March 3 with a groin/abdominal injury. He participated in practice Monday, but a timetable for his return has't been set.
Even with Turco going home, Boston has plenty of vocal leaders who learned from Mark Recchi, one of just a few players not back from last year's Cup team.

In recent years, GaN nanorods are emerging as a very promising novel route toward devices for nano-optoelectronics and nano-photonics. In particular, core-shell light emitting devices are thought to be a breakthrough development in solid state lighting, nanorod based LEDs have many potential advantages as compared to their 2 D thin film counterparts. In this paper, we review the recent developments of GaN nanorod growth, characterization, and related device applications based on GaN nanorods. The initial work on GaN nanorod growth focused on catalyst-assisted and catalyst-free statistical growth. The growth condition and growth mechanisms were extensively investigated and discussed. Doping of GaN nanorods, especially p-doping, was found to significantly influence the morphology of GaN nanorods. The large surface of 3 D GaN nanorods induces new optical and electrical properties, which normally can be neglected in layered structures. Recently, more controlled selective area growth of GaN nanorods was realized using patterned substrates both by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Advanced structures, for example, photonic crystals and DBRs are meanwhile integrated in GaN nanorod structures. Based on the work of growth and characterization of GaN nanorods, GaN nanoLEDs were reported by several groups with different growth and processing methods. Core/shell nanoLED structures were also demonstrated, which could be potentially useful for future high efficient LED structures. In this paper, we will discuss recent developments in GaN nanorod technology, focusing on the potential advantages, but also discussing problems and open questions, which may impose obstacles during the future development of a GaN nanorod based LED technology.

Manipulation of electromagnetically-induced transparency in planar metamaterials based on phase coupling111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3699197View Description Hide Description
We experimentally demonstrated a controllable electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like spectral response at microwave frequencies in a planar metamaterial consisting of two identical split-ring resonators (SRRs) with side-by-side symmetry. In our scheme, phase coupling between the two SRRs (serving as the bright mode), which were excited strongly by the incident wave, was employed, and it was found that the EIT-like spectral response could be controlled by simply adjusting the incident angle. Thus, our scheme may be used for electromagnetic-wave switching. A high group index for slow-light application and a high quality factor could be obtained by simply controlling the incident angle.
Optical and electrical characteristics of asymmetric nanowire solar cells111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3699212View Description Hide Description
We propose an asymmetric radial structure developed via simulation that improves the optical and electrical characteristics of silicon nanowire (SiNW) solar cells. This nanostructure is designed by shrinking the bottom core diameter and holding the top core diameter fixed in the SiNW, which results in a total reflection of the incident light in the outer wall of the shell due to the difference in the refractive index. The reflection enhances light trapping and concentration, which results in a 10 times higher optical generation rate and greater optical absorption in the high energy regime as compared with the fundamental symmetric radial structure. Further, we found that the efficiency is increased by over 10% when the bottom core diameter is decreased. The proposed structure has great potential to effectively improve the efficiency in concert with optimizing the design parameters.
Optical dielectric behaviors of copper zinc alloy thin films111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3700347View Description Hide Description
Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) was employed to investigate the dielectric behaviors of Cu-Zn alloy films on silicon substrate prepared using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The influence of the thickness and alloy composition on the dielectric properties of Cu-Zn alloys was studied. A dielectric function model combining with a surface effective medium theory (EMA) layer and a thin Lorentz-Drude layer was established to all alloy films to determine the dielectric functions. It shows that the dispersion behaviors of the alloy films are sensitive to the film thickness and the composition of the alloys.
Isotope separation of 17O by photodissociation of ozone with near-infrared laser irradiation111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702565View Description Hide Description
Oxygen-17 is a stable oxygen isotope useful for various diagnostics in both engineering and medical applications. Enrichment of 17O, however, has been very costly due to the lack of appropriate methods that enable efficient production of 17O on an industrial level. In this paper, we report the first 17O-selective photodissociation of ozone at a relatively high pressure, which has been achieved by irradiating a gas mixture of 10 vol% O3-90 vol% CF4 with narrowband laser. The experiment was conducted on a pilot-plant scale. A total laser power of 1.6 W was generated by external-cavity diode lasers with all the laser wavelengths fixed at the peak of an absorption line of 16O16O17O around 1 μm. The beams were introduced into a 25 -m long photoreaction cell under the sealed-off condition with a total pressure of 20 kPa. Lower cell temperature reduced the background decomposition of ozone, and at the temperature of 158 K, an 17O enrichment factor of 2.2 was attained.
Equifrequency curve dispersion in dielectric-loaded plasmonic crystals111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702790View Description Hide Description
We present a quantitative description of the momentum-space dispersion and directivity of light propagation in dielectric-loaded plasmonic crystals. In our analysis the three-dimensional lossy plasmonic crystals are modeled by two-dimensional lossless dielectric crystals with real effective refractive indexes. Simulated equifrequency curves are in excellent agreement with measured Fourier plane images obtained from dye-doped dielectric-loaded plasmonic crystals with different lattice geometries and parameters. Our results provide fundamental information about the origin of the directional bandgaps in these structures.
Determination of the absolute internal quantum efficiency of photoluminescence in GaN co-doped with Si and Zn111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3699312View Description Hide Description
The optical properties of high-quality GaN co-doped with silicon and zinc are investigated by using temperature-dependent continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The blue luminescence band is related to the ZnGa acceptor in GaN:Si,Zn, which exhibits an exceptionally high absolute internal quantum efficiency (IQE). An IQE above 90% was calculated for several samples having different concentrations of Zn. Accurate and reliable values of the IQE were obtained by using several approaches based on rate equations. The concentrations of the ZnGa acceptors and free electrons were also estimated from the photoluminescence measurements.
Design and modeling of InAs/GaSb type II superlattice based dual-band infrared detectors111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702581View Description Hide Description
The objective of this paper is to provide a credible analysis for predicting the spectral responsivity of InAs/GaSb/AlSb type-II superlattice (T2SL) based dual-band infrared photodetectors. An overview of the T2SL based design criteria is given and new dual-band detector architecture with a model dual-band detector structure designed to detect light in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) ranges is presented. The absorption coefficient is modeled empirically and the quantum efficiency spectra are calculated using a numerical model and Hovel's analytical expressions. The spectral cross-talk due to the response of the LWIR channel to residual MWIR light is also investigated. It is shown that the significance of this cross-talk primarily depends on the temperature of the target (scene) being detected. For MWIR/MWIR (two bands in the MWIR range) dual-band detectors, the spectral cross-talk becomes significant irrespective of the target temperature. Eliminating the spectral cross-talk in T2SL dual-band detectors presently remains a challenge.
Analysis of dielectric loaded surface plasmon waveguide structures: Transfer matrix method for plasmonic devices111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3703468View Description Hide Description
The propagation properties of dielectric loaded surface plasmon polariton (DLSPP) waveguide structures have been investigated by using the transfer matrix method (TMM), which is simple and has a fast calculation speed. The results obtained from the TMM agree well with those from the finite element method. As a demonstration, we investigate the waveguide properties of DLSPP structures in the terahertz and near-infrared regimes. The TMM is potentially a powerful and effective tool for studying various plasmonicwaveguide structures, which may find important applications in integrated photonic devices and sensors.
A method to extract absorption coefficient of thin films from transmission spectra of the films on thick substrates111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3700178View Description Hide Description
In this paper we present a method that allows extraction of the absorption coefficient of a thin film from transmittance spectrum of the film on a silicon substrate. The method essentially removes all "optical effects," such as interference fringes, reflectance losses, substrate absorption, etc. The method requires that the refractive index of the film is known at one wavelength and that the thickness of the film is approximately known, both of which are generally available from ellipsometric measurements. As a by-product of the procedure, the method also extracts optical constants of the film over the entire spectral range of interest and provides improved values of thickness and refractive index over those provided by ellipsometry.
Electronic states and intraband terahertz optical transitions in InGaAs quantum rods111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3692069View Description Hide Description
Strain-dependent eight-band method is used to analyze the electronic structure and intraband optical transitions in self-assembled InGaAs quantum rods in the terahertz range. The calculation of absorption spectra for the growth- and in-plane-polarized radiation shows some similarities to those of quantum well and single quantum dot structures, augmented with contribution from transitions between the dot and quantum well states. The influence of rod height on the electronic structure and the intraband absorption spectra is also investigated. It is found that the energy of maximal terahertz absorption can be tailored by the rod height for both in-plane and in-growth polarized radiation.
A phonon scattering assisted injection and extraction based terahertz quantum cascade laser111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702571View Description Hide Description
A lasing scheme for terahertz quantum cascade lasers, based on consecutive phonon-photon-phonon emissions per module, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The charge transport of the proposed structure is modeled using a rate equation formalism. An optimization code based on a genetic algorithm was developed to find a four-well design in the GaAs/Al0.25Ga0.75As material system that maximizes the product of population inversion and oscillator strength at 150 K. The fabricated devices using Au double-metal waveguides show lasing at 3.2 THz up to 138 K. The electrical characteristics display no sign of differential resistance drop at lasing threshold, which, in conjunction with the low optical power of the device, suggest—thanks to the rate equation model—a slow depopulation rate of the lower lasing state, a hypothesis confirmed by non-equilibrium Green's function calculations.
Temperature and composition dependence of photoluminescence dynamics in CdSxSe1−x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) nanobelts111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702889View Description Hide Description
CdSxSe1−xnanobelts with uniform and controllable composition are successfully fabricated by a one-step vapor-liquid-solid process. Temperature-dependent steady and time-resolved transient photoluminescence(PL) are studied for the obtained CdSxSe1−xnanobelts as well as pure CdS and CdSenanobelts prepared in same method. For all samples, both band edge and surface state emission are found to contribute to the observed PLspectra. However, the emission originated from surface state is quite weak for CdSxSe1−xnanobelts as compared to CdS and CdSe. The reduced surface state emission in CdSxSe1−xnanobelts is ascribed to exciton localization due to random potential fluctuations. This attribution is further confirmed by the time-decay PL profiles where a very fast process of exciton transfer from interior to surface of nanobelts, observed in CdS and CdSenanobelts, is absent for CdSxSe1−xnanobelts. These observations reveal that the surface effect of CdSxSe1−xnanobelts is less significant than that in CdS and CdSenanobelts, which consequently leads to enhanced band-edge emission in CdSxSe1−xnanobelts.
Confinement effects on valence-subband character and polarization anisotropy in (112) semipolar InGaN/GaN quantum wells111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702798View Description Hide Description
We perform self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson simulations on (11 2) In-GaN/GaN quantum wells (QW). By solving the 6 × 6 k·p Hamiltonian, including strain and polarization fields, we study the separation, ordering, and wavefunction character of the topmost valence bands in the QW and their dependence on In composition and QW width. Our results show that quantum confinement has only slight effects on the ordering and the character of the valence states and therefore cannot be the cause of the experimentally observed optical polarization switching. Instead, the switching may be due to the inhomogeneous strain distribution in (11 2) InGaN films with high In composition.

Photonic band structures of two-dimensional magnetized plasma photonic crystals111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3699213View Description Hide Description
By using modified plane wave method, photonicband structures of the transverse electric polarization for two types of two-dimensional magnetized plasmaphotonic crystals are obtained, and influences of the external magnetic field,plasma density, and dielectric materials on the dispersion curves are studied, respectively. Results show that two areas of flat bands appear in the dispersion curves due to the role of external magnetic field, and the higher frequencies of the up and down flat bands are corresponding to the right-circled and left-circled cutoff frequencies, respectively. Adjusting external magnetic field and plasma density can not only control positions of the flat bands, but also can control the location and width of the local gap; increasing relative dielectric constant of the dielectric materials makes omni-direction gaps appear.
Optical breakdown threshold investigation of 1064 nm laser induced air plasmas111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3699368View Description Hide Description
We present the theoretical and experimental measurements and analysis of the optical breakdown threshold for dry air by 1064 nm infrared laser radiation and the significance of the multiphoton and collisional cascade ionization process on the breakdown threshold measurements over pressures range from 10 to 2000 Torr. Theoretical estimates of the breakdown threshold laser intensities and electric fields are obtained using two distinct theories namely multiphoton and collisional cascade ionizationtheories. The theoretical estimates are validated by experimental measurements and analysis of laser induced breakdown processes in dry air at a wavelength of 1064 nm by focusing 450 mJ max, 6 ns, 75 MW max high-power 1064 nm IR laser radiation onto a 20 μm radius spot size that produces laser intensities up to 3 – 6 TW/cm2, sufficient for air ionization over the pressures of interest ranging from 10 to 2000 Torr. Analysis of the measured breakdown threshold laser intensities and electric fields are carried out in relation with classical and quantum theoreticalionization processes, operating pressures. Comparative analysis of the laser air breakdown results at 1064 nm with corresponding results of a shorter laser wavelength (193 nm) [M. Thiyagarajan and J. E. Scharer, IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 36, 2512 (2008)] and a longer microwave wavelength (108 nm) [A. D. MacDonald, Microwave Breakdown in Gases (Wiley, New York, 1966)]. A universal scaling analysis of the breakdown threshold measurements provided a direct comparison of breakdown threshold values over a wide range of frequencies ranging from microwave to ultraviolet frequencies. Comparison of 1064 nm laser induced effective field intensities for air breakdown measurements with data calculated based on the collisional cascade and multiphotonbreakdowntheories is used successfully to determine the scaled collisional microwave portion. The measured breakdown threshold of 1064 nm laser intensities are then scaled to classical microwave breakdowntheory after correcting for the multiphoton ionization process for different pressures and good agreement, regarding both pressure dependence and breakdown threshold electric fields, is obtained. The effect of the presence of submicron particles on the 1064 nm breakdown threshold was also investigated. The measurements show that higher breakdown field is required, especially at lower pressures, and in close agreement with classical microwave breakdowntheory and measurements in air.
Multiple scattering of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves by two plasma cylinders111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702406View Description Hide Description
Multiple scattering of ultrahigh frequency (UHF) electromagnetic waves by two argon plasma cylinders is investigated, rigorously applying the boundary value method. The results are verified and validated with the method of moments. Approximate expressions for the far field, taking into account the interaction between the plasma cylinders, are derived briefly after some mathematical manipulations. Numerical results are presented for the case of E-polarized UHF incidence with varied striking angles and different separation distances between the cylinders; comparisons of the scattering distributions are given in detail as well. It is found that the interaction between the plasma cylinders plays a non-negligible role in scattered energy redistributing, which is useful in the future research of intelligent plasmaantennas.
Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier microplasmas inside hollow-core optical fibers111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702818View Description Hide Description
An atmospheric glow microplasma is generated in the hollow core of microns-thick optical fibers (>1 m long) when the sinusoidal voltage with a peak voltage of 5 kV and a frequency of 5.0 kHz is applied to these microelectrodes along the outside of optical fibers. Measurements show that the atmospheric glowmicrodischarge consists of current pulses with amplitudes of tens of amperes and pulse widths of several microseconds. Atmospheric surface barrier discharges are formed along the inner surface of hollow optical fibers between adjacent microelectrodes, which results in the pulsed glow microdischarges. By flowing octafluorocyclobutane (c-C4F8)/helium (He) mixtures through the hollow-core optical fiber, fluorocarbon polymer (FCP) coatings are deposited on the inner surface of the > 1 m long optical fiber. Analysis indicates that the glowmicrodischarge contributes to the uniform deposition of FCP coatings on the inner surface of hollow fibers. The in situ optical emission measurements show that various carbon-containing species, such as CF2, CN, and C2 are generated in the visually uniform microplasmas. The discharge mechanism is discussed based on the I-V and optical emission measurements and FCP coating characterizations.
Stability of very-high pressure arc discharges against perturbations of the electron temperature111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3702469View Description Hide Description
We study the stability of the energy balance of the electron gas in very high–pressure plasmas against longitudinal perturbations, using a local dispersion analysis. After deriving a dispersion equation, we apply the model to a very high–pressure (100 bar) xenon plasma and find instability for electron temperatures, Te , in a window between 2400 K and 5500-7000 K, depending on the current density (106–108 A/m2). The instability can be traced back to the Joule heating of the electron gas being a growing function of Te , which is due to a rising dependence of the electron-atom collision frequency on Te . We then analyze the Te range occurring in very high–pressure xenon lamps and conclude that only the near-anode region exhibits Te sufficiently low for this instability to occur. Indeed, previous experiments have revealed that such lamps develop, under certain conditions, voltage oscillations accompanied by electromagnetic interference, and this instability has been pinned down to the plasma-anode interaction. A relation between the mechanisms of the considered instability and multiple anodic attachments of high-pressure arcs is discussed.

Ultrafast laser-induced changes in optical properties of semiconductors111(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3698300View Description Hide Description
We study the effect of laser radiation on optical properties of semiconductors of industrial interest. The material is pumped with a laser of chosen central frequency, for which the absorption is maximal, thus inducing electron dynamics, which modifies the optical properties. By using an improved theoretical model, we study ultrafast dynamic changes in the refraction index and reflectivity corresponding to a wide frequency-interval of probing radiation and identify that interval where these optical changes are most significant.
