Optical determination of young's modulus.

AI Thread Summary
The equation E=6(mg/bt3)Rs is presented for calculating Young's modulus, but its meaning is unclear without defined variables. The discussion emphasizes the need for a textbook or reference document to understand the formula properly. Participants suggest that the original post lacks sufficient detail for a productive conversation. It is recommended to review relevant literature to facilitate a more meaningful discussion. Understanding the context and definitions is crucial for further analysis of the equation.

Looks to me like you need to be reading a textbook about this. Your Post is to 'terse' for any useful response. Also, that formula means nothing until the variables are defined but they probably would be defined in the document you obtained it. Try reading that document and some others then we can have a meaningful discussion.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
