[The first experience of fluorescent angiography with indocyanine green in primary esophagoplasty with gastric conduit in patients with malignant tumors of the esophagus].

Objective: To evaluate the possibilities of intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescein angiography (ICG technology) in primary esophagoplasty by gastric conduit in patients with malignant tumors of the esophagus.

Material And Methods: The study included 74 patients. Depending on the localization of the tumor in the esophagus, a Lewis-type or McKeown-type operation was performed.

Transport properties of a 1000 nm HgTe film: the interplay of surface and bulk carriers.

We report on systematic study of transport properties of a 1000 nm HgTe film. Unlike thinner and strained HgTe films, which are known as high-quality three-dimensional topological insulators, the film under study is much thicker than the limit of pseudomorphic growth of HgTe on a CdTe substrate. Therefore, the 1000 nm HgTe film is expected to be fully relaxed and has the band structure of bulk HgTe, i.

Balancing the Number of Quantum Wells in HgCdTe/CdHgTe Heterostructures for Mid-Infrared Lasing.

HgCdTe-based heterostructures with quantum wells (QWs) are a promising material for semiconductor lasers in the atmospheric transparency window (3-5 μm) thanks to the possibility of suppressing Auger recombination due to the no-parabolic law of carrier dispersion. In this work, we analyze the thresholds of stimulated emission (SE) under optical pumping from heterostructures with a different number of QWs in the active region of the structure. Total losses in structures are determined from the comparison of thresholds for the different number of QWs in the active region.

Stimulated Emission up to 2.75 µm from HgCdTe/CdHgTe QW Structure at Room Temperature.

Heterostructures with thin Hg(Cd)Te/CdHgTe quantum wells (QWs) are attractive for the development of mid-infrared interband lasers. Of particular interest are room-temperature operating emitters for the short-wavelength infrared range (SWIR, typically defined as 1.7-3 μm).

Rashba Spin Splitting in HgCdTe Quantum Wells with Inverted and Normal Band Structures.

In quantum wells (QWs) formed in HgCdTe/CdHgTe heterosystems with a variable composition of Cd(Hg), Shubnikov-de-Haas (SdH) oscillations are investigated to characterize the Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling in QWs with both a normal and inverted band structure. Several methods of extracting the Rashba spin-splitting at zero magnetic field and their magnetic field dependences from the beatings of SdH oscillations are used for greater reliability. The large and similar Rashba splitting (25-27 meV) is found for different kinds of spectrum, explained by a significant fraction of the p-type wave functions, in both the E1 subband of the sample with a normal spectrum and the H1 subband for the sample with an inverted one.
