    Abstract: Energy dispersive X-Ray detectors are among the most common tools installed on scanning electron microscopes and, as they are sensitive to light, they can be used to get panchromatic cathodoluminescence information. This article presents practical considerations about the parameters to choose to obtain a good cathodoluminescence signal on a silicon... Show More

    Abstract: A Legendre function expansion method is proposed to solve the simplified Fokker-Plank equation to study the dynamics of a macrospin under spin-torque-driven magnetic reversal at finite temperature. The first and second eigenvalues (λτ0)1 and (λτ0)2 as functions of I/Ic and Hk are obtained, in agreement with the previous results using the Taylor ser... Show More

    Abstract: Using genodynamics, the Howard University biophysics research and interdisciplinary development group transforms genomic sequence data into genomic energy measures to explore the science of genome variation in population diversity and human biology. Genodynamics utilizes the statistical distribution of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from... Show More
