In addition, the stronger spatial confinement of carriers in very thin a-Ge films leads to excitonic absorption enhancement, which is observed as the increase of B. This evidence clearly points out that light absorption can be profitably enhanced by the quantum confinement in a-Ge QWs, confirming the previous indication of another study [15].
Stretching single DNA molecules by confinement in nanofluidic channels has attracted a great interest during the last few years as a DNA analysis tool.
We reasoned that during initial exposure to the chambers, mice would experience a mild restraint stress caused by confinement in the 250 ml tubes (figure 1).
His health had been almost shattered by confinement in the Luxembourg prison, and his face had become inflamed and blotchy.
Probation is the most frequently used sentencing option, followed by confinement in jail.
Orientational structure and dynamics of molecules is known to be affected by confinement in space comparable in size to the molecule itself.
While Tg was impacted by confinement, in the range 130 nm ≤ d ≤ 400 nm, in stark contrast, the cooperative segmental mobility, i.e., the peak position of the α-relaxation process was not.
We use ellipsometry and fluorescence to study how the glass transition temperature (Tg) is affected by confinement in silica-supported films of low and high MW poly 1-ethylcyclopentyl methacrylate) (poly 1-ethylcyclopentyl methacrylate) (PECPMA
Later on, Tognini and co-workers evidenced a relevant blueshift of E 2 (due to the QCE) and a weakening of E 1 with size reduction of Ge QDs embedded in Al2O3[26], while Heath et al. concluded that E 1 and E 2 transitions are apparently unaffected by confinement in Ge QDs produced with ultrasonic methods [27].
"If any person over the age of 12 years shall engage in the activity commonly known as 'trick or treat' or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months or both".
