Equivalent network approach for guided electron waves in quantum-well structures and its application to electron-wave directional couplers

Journal Article Kaji, Ryosaku ; Koshiba, Masanori - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

By utilizing an analogy in electromagnetic wave propagation, an equivalent network procedure is described for guided electron waves in quantum-well structures. It relies heavily on the earlier achievements of the microwave network approach, and it involves the application of concepts and techniques in electromagnetic waves to corresponding categories of electron waves. To demonstrate the validity and usefulness of this approach, it is used to derive the properties of electron waveguides consisting of single or double quantum wells. Based on the results of the analysis of propagation characteristics of the guided electron waves in these structures, the coupling properties of themore »« less

New probabilistic fracture mechanics approach with neural network-based crack modeling: Its application to multiple cracks problem

Conference Yoshimura, Shinobu ; Lee, J S ; Yagawa, Genki ; ...

Studies on efficient utilization and life extension of operating nuclear power plants (NPPs) have become increasingly important since ages of the first-generation NPPs are approaching their design lives. In order to predict a remaining life of each plant, it is necessary to select those critical components that strongly influence the plant life, and to evaluate their remaining lives by considering aging effects of materials and other factors. This paper proposes a new method to incorporate sophisticated crack models, such as interaction and coalescence of multiple surface cracks, into probabilistic fracture mechanism (PFM) computer programs using neural networks. First, hundreds ofmore »« less
Characterization of sediments in the Clinch River, Tennessee, using remote sensing and multi-dimensional GIS techniques

Conference Levine, D A ; Hargrove, W W ; Hoffman, F

Remotely-sensed hydro-acoustic data were used as input to spatial extrapolation tools in a GIS to develop two- and three-dimensional models of sediment densities in the Clinch River arm of Watts Bar Reservoir, Tennessee. This work delineated sediment deposition zones to streamline sediment sampling and to provide a tool for estimating sediment volumes and extrapolating contaminant concentrations throughout the system. The Clinch River arm of Watts Bar Reservoir has been accumulating sediment-bound contaminants from three Department of Energy (DOE) facilities on the Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee. Public concern regarding human and ecological health resulted in Watts Bar Reservoir being placed onmore »« less

Application of GIS to water conservation technologies in the Poudre River basin. Executive summary

Technical Report Wagner, D G ; Furaus, M ; Podmore, T H

Remotely sensed satellite data sets and aerial photography in a geographic information system were used to model the daily and seasonal evapotranspiration (ET) within a 187,700 ha (462,00 acre) river basin in north-central Colorado. This methodology was then used to estimate the impact of implementing various water conservation technologies in the basin. The report discusses the potential impacts of converting from surface irrigation to sprinkler irrigation, SURGE irrigation, and removing land from production. Two other technologies are also summarized: Urban Water Metering and Conservation Programs and Irrigation Scheduling Using Automated Telephone Response.
