AbstractThermal oxidation of silicon is described as a three-component thermodynamic local process involving silicon, silicon oxide, and oxygen molecules. A simplified system of model equations is used to demonstrate the evoluton of the Si-SiO2 interface. For the one-dimensional case the equivalence with the model of Deal and Grove could be shown analytically. For that purpose effective interface coordinates have been introduced which establish the connection between the conventional concept of sharp interfaces and our "diffusive" interface, i.e., a transition region between pure silicon and pure silicon oxide.

Effective ion acceleration of picosecond-duration well-collimated bunches in the strong relativistic interaction of a short laser pulse with a thin solid target has been experimentally demonstrated. In this work, with reference to the sharp rear solid–vacuum interface, where ion energization takes place, the one-dimensional Poisson–Boltzmann equation is analytically solved on a finite spatial interval whose extension is determined by requiring electron energy conservation, resulting in the consistent spatial distributions of the hot electrons created by the laser and of the corresponding electrostatic potential. Then, the equation of motions for an ensemble of test ions, initially distributed in a thin layer of the rear target surface, with different initial conditions, is solved and the energy spectrum corresponding to a given initial ion distribution is determined.

The relation between authoritarianism and social dominance orientation was analyzed, with authoritarianism measured using a three-dimensional scale. The implicit multidimensional structure (authoritarian submission, conventionalism, authoritarian aggression) of Altemeyer’s (1981, 1988) conceptualization of authoritarianism is inconsistent with its one-dimensional methodological operationalization. The dimensionality of authoritarianism was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 713 university students. As hypothesized, the three-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. Regression analyses revealed that only authoritarian aggression was related to social dominance orientation. That is, only intolerance of deviance was related to high social dominance, whereas submissiveness was not.
