In this survey, structure solutions for the longitudinal suspense equation within a magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) circular judgment are extracted via the implementation of two one-of-a-kind techniques that are viewed as the close generalized technique in its field. This paper describes the dynamics of the longitudinal suspense within a MEE round rod. Nilsson and Lindau provided the visual proof of the arrival concerning longitudinal waves within thin metal films. They recommended removal of anomalies between the ports concerning emaciated ([Formula: see text] Å) Ag layers preserved on amorphous silica because of being mildly [Formula: see text]-polarized at frequency tier according to the brawny plasma frequency. Anomalies have been due to confusion over the longitudinal waves mirrored utilizing the two borders. The wavelength is connected according to this wave’s property, which is an awful lot smaller than the wave over light. The wave is outstanding only for altogether superfine films. However, metallic movies defended amorphous substrates that are intermittent within the forward levels of their evolution. This made researchers aware of the possibility on getting ready altogether few layers with a desire to discussing the promulgation about longitudinal waves up to expectation colorful each among reverberation or transport on [Formula: see text]-polarized light. The mated options via the use of generalized Riccati equation mapping method or generalized Kudryashov technique show the rule and effectiveness regarding its methods then its ability because of applying one kind of forms over nonlinear incomplete differential equations.

Abstract The article considers the formation of titanium channel optical waveguides in LiTaO3 substrates. These structures were obtained by dry etching of grooves in SF6 plasma and magnetron sputtering of titanium film. After that, waveguides were formed by plasma etching using photoresist as mask. Technological features and modes of microstructure production are described. Al contact pads were produced by magnetron sputtering thin metal films on LiTaO3. Aluminum wires were ultrasonically bonded to Al contact pads using Delvotec 5630. The developed technology of formation of contact pads and bonding modes made it possible to obtain a bonded joint with a bond strength of 23-25 Gs.

Cu and Ag precursors that are volatile, reactive, and thermally stable are currently of high interest for their application in atomic layer deposition (ALD) of thin metal films. In pursuit of new precursors for coinage metals namely Cu and Ag, a series of new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based Cu(I) and Ag(I) complexes were synthesized. Modifications in the substitution pattern of diketonate-based anionic backbones led to five monomeric Cu complexes and four closely related Ag complexes with the general formula [M(tBuNHC)(R)] (M = Cu, Ag; tBuNHC = 1,3-di-tert-butyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene; R = diketonate). Thermal analysis indicated that most of the Cu complexes are thermally stable and volatile compared to the more fragile Ag analogs. One of the promising Cu precursors was evaluated for the ALD of nanoparticulate Cu metal films using hydroquinone as the reducing agent at appreciably low deposition temperatures (145–160 °C). This study highlights the considerable impact of the employed ligand sphere on the structural and thermal properties of metal complexes that are relevant for vapor phase processing of thin films.

Abstract Nanoscale nonlinear optics is limited by the inherently weak nonlinear response of conventional materials and the small light–matter interaction volumes available in nanostructures. Plasmonic excitations can alleviate these limitations through subwavelength light focusing, boosting optical near fields that drive the nonlinear response, but also suffering from large inelastic losses that are further aggravated by fabrication imperfections. Here, we theoretically explore the enhanced nonlinear response arising from extremely confined plasmon polaritons in few-atom-thick crystalline noble metal films. Our results are based on quantum-mechanical simulations of the nonlinear optical response in atomically thin metal films that incorporate crucial electronic band structure features associated with vertical quantum confinement, electron spill-out, and surface states. We predict an overall enhancement in plasmon-mediated nonlinear optical phenomena with decreasing film thickness, underscoring the importance of surface and electronic structure in the response of ultrathin metal films.
