Published: September 2012

The first noncontact photoconductivity measurements of gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) are presented, revealing a high crystallographic and optoelectronic quality achieved by use of catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy. In comparison with bulk material, the NWs exhibit a long conductivity lifetime (>2 ns) and a high mobility (820 ± 120 cm(2)/(V s)). This is due to the weak influence of surface traps with respect to other III-V semiconducting NWs and to the favorable crystalline structure of the NWs achieved via strain-relieved growth.

Cognitive response to energy variations in Non-Contact tactile sensations interface using Laser-Induced plasma.

Neurosci Lett

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of ICT Convergence Engineering, College of Science & Technology, Konkuk University, 268 Chungwon-daero, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, 27478, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Laser-induced plasma technology provides a novel method for generating tactile sensations without physical contact, offering precise and controlled stimulation. However, the impact of varying energy levels on human cognitive and perceptual responses is not yet fully understood. This study aimed to present tactile sensations using laser-induced plasma in a non-contact manner and investigate the cognitive characteristics linked to changes in the plasma's energy parameters, specifically Pulse Width (PW) and Set Current (SC).

Acute Effects of Unplanned and Planned Hop-Landing Training on Neurocognitive Function and Knee Biomechanics.

Orthop J Sports Med

January 2025

Background: Athletes with decreased baseline neurocognitive function may experience noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in unanticipated athletic situations. Many ACL injury prevention programs (IPPs) focus on improving closed-skill movements (eg, planned landing). However, the more open-skill movements (eg, unplanned reactive movements) required in unpredictable sports scenarios are commonly absent from ACL IPPs, and the acute effects of open-skill training on neurocognitive function remain unclear.

Spectral Content Effects Study in Non-Contact Resonance Ultrasound Spectroscopy.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Electronics Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology, 51368 Kaunas, Lithuania.

The application of spread-spectrum signals (arbitrary pulse width and position (APWP) sequences) in air-coupled resonant ultrasound spectroscopy is studied. It was hypothesized that spread-spectrum signal optimization should be based on te signal to noise ratio (SNR). Six APWP signal optimization criteria were proposed for this purpose.
