The elimination of a need for DC reverse bias due to the change in the transmission curve brought on by intermixing will also reduce the complexity of the modulator setup and is a promising indication of selective annealing for on-chip integration.
The effects of that part of coherency stress induced by the mismatch in atomic volumes on interface sharpening and the intermixing rate are opposite to, but dominant over, those of the stress induced by lattice creation/annihilation in vacancy sources/sinks.
Vacancy-mediated interdiffusion in coherent Mo/V and Cu/Ni multilayers is simulated to evaluate the effects of coherency stress and vacancy sources/sinks on interface sharpening and the intermixing rate, using the phase field model developed in a previous paper for two limiting cases: ideal vacancy sources/sinks densely distributed or not present at all.
The observed infrared PL signal from Ge dots grown on Si 001) is influenced by island size and the intermixing of Si/Ge.
On Friday, Brazil's ceremony relayed a brisk, harmonious version of its history, celebrating the intermixing that has produced its beautifully diverse population.
In the most famous line of his masterwork "On War," published in 1832, Carl von Clausewitz called war "nothing but a continuation of political intercourse, with the intermixing of other means".
The intermixing index IM can be calculated as (1) I M = (∑ x i c (x i ) h (x i ) ) / (∑ x i h (x i ) ). Intermixing is small for segregated patterns with few color changes along height, and increases when patches of different cell types successively appear on top of each other.
Non-Brazilian designers are also jumping on the bandwagon, with Geen Morgan's sheer, sexy beaded skirts and knit bikini-style tops ($458 and $180 at Henri Bendel) and Erin Kobrinsky's suede-crochet capri pants ($1,065 at Intermix).
In announcing the Intermix deal on July 18 , 2005 the News Corporation called MySpace "the leading lifestyle portal for networking online".
However, little work has been done on this topic, and the different intermixing mechanisms sustaining the growth and evolution of Ge islands in presence of a surface with an extrinsic morphology are still debated [5 7].
