How can I find this symmetries and values for the piezo-optic tensor for structures as beta-BBO (R3c), or in general other laser crystal structures?

Hi! Due to symmetry the piezo-optic tensor is represented as a 36 components matrix. Moreover and depending on the crystal structure most of this components are 0 or symmetric. In the case of the...

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

What is the state of the drug inside solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)?

I am a little confuse with the mechanism of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The main point of encapsulating drugs into SLNs is because some drugs have low solubility in water. Therefore, SLNs...

Is there a deep reason for using the squared modulus of the wave function as the probability density of the existence of the particle?

I think we were all surprised at the first time we got to know quantum mechanics that the squared modulus of the wave function is the probability density of the existence of the particle? The role...

How the Ground Plane implantation is performed without damaging (and w/o varying the undoped nature) the top Si (8-10 nm) in FDSOI technology ?

It is a general practice to introduce Ground Plane in FDSOI devices under the BoX. The Ground Planes are introduced by Ion Implantation through Top Si layer and Buried Oxide. I wanted to know that...
