Semiclassical String Solutions on 1/2 BPS Geometries

, 2005
We study semiclassical string solutions on the 1/2 BPS geometry of type IIB string theory characterized by concentric rings on the boundary plane. We consider both folded rotating strings carrying nonzero R-charge and circular pulsating strings.

Material Modification of Borofloat 33 During Scanning‐Based Microforming Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Possibilities for ablation‐free microforming of borosilicate glass using ultrashort laser pulses are presented. Depending on the laser parameters and scanning strategy, surface structures with profile heights of up to 20 µm could be produced. The work provides a comprehensive experimental and analytical characterization of the microforming process ...
