Since the extent of the broadening increases almost linearly with the number of creep deformation, the measurement of the broadening by X-ray diffraction can be utilized in non-destructive methods to predict the lifetime of Ni-base superalloys.
The broadening increases fastest with the bandwidth at the low center frequencies, which are closest to the steep absorption band edge.
The UV-Vis spectra indicate that the range of visible-light photoresponse of AgBr loaded TiO2 system is broadened increasing its visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity.
Altogether, latency broadening increases with the intensity of previous synaptic activity and with release probability and depends on an intact cytoskeletal structure.
For increasing Cr/Al atomic ratio, the microhardness and the diffraction-line broadening increase, whereas the amount of excess nitrogen decreases.
When the target dimensions of the design approach the etching resolution limits, the band broadening increases in a strongly non-linear way with the decreased pillar dimensions.
From Fig. 3, it is obvious that the GVD induced pulse broadening increases linearly with the propagation distance and therefore imposes limitation on the FSO link.
Based on a Lorentzian line fit to the data (not shown here), the G-band at ~1,570 cm−1 shows a significant shift (up to 7 cm−1 from 0%to15%5%) and broadening (increase in FWHM) with increase in the boron concentration.
Indeed, as noted above, the width of the PL spectra of all CP/O300 nanocomposites is greater than the width of the spectra of the corresponding individual polymers, the main contribution to the broadening provides the states with higher energy, and the value of the broadening increases in transition from MEH-PPV (83 meV) to PPV (120 meV).
Presumably spike broadening may contribute to the enhanced transmitter release (and perhaps recruitment of post-synaptic neurons to network bursts) since spike broadening increases Ca2+ influx primarily by prolonging the open time of Ca2+ channels [42], [43].
