105Polaritonics — is an intermediate regime between photonics and sub microwave electronics (see Fig. 1). In this regime, signals are carried by an admixture of electromagnetic and lattice vibrational waves known as phonon polaritons, rather than currents or… …
106Piezoelectric accelerometer — A piezoelectric accelerometer that utilizes the piezoelectric effect of certain materials to measure dynamic changes in mechanical variables. (e.g. acceleration, vibration, and mechanical shock) As with all transducers, piezoelectric… …
107optical ceramics — Introduction advanced industrial materials developed for use in optical applications. Optical materials derive their utility from their response to infrared, optical, and ultraviolet light. The most obvious optical materials are… …
108p-n junction — A silicon p–n junction with no applied voltage. A p–n junction is formed at the boundary between a P type and N type semiconductor created in a single crystal of semiconductor by doping, for example by ion implantation, diffusion of dopants, or… …
109Stranski-Krastanov growth — (SK growth, also Stransky Krastanov or Stranski Krastanow) is one of the three primary modes by which thin films grow epitaxially at a crystal surface or interface. Also known as layer plus island growth , the SK mode follows a two step process:… …
