Hybrid optical measurement technique for detection of defects in epitaxially grown 4H-SiC layers [PDF]
Recent developments in power electronics require the use of new wide bandgap compound semiconductor. We demonstrate the use of the ellipsometry and white light interference microscopy to detect defects in epitaxially grown SiC layers on SiC substrates ...

The Kenya rift revisited: insights into lithospheric strength through data-driven 3-D gravity and thermal modelling [PDF]
We present three-dimensional (3-D) models that describe the present-day thermal and rheological state of the lithosphere of the greater Kenya rift region aiming at a better understanding of the rift evolution, with a particular focus on plume–lithosphere
