We present that the ultra violet emission of ZnO can be enhanced, as much as six times its integral intensity, using an Al thin interlayer film between the Si substrate and ZnO thin film and a postfabrication laser annealing process. The laser annealing is a cold process that preserves the chemical state and integrity of the underlying aluminum layer, while it is essential for the improvement of the ZnO performance as a light emitter and leads to enhanced emission in the visible and in theultraviolet spectral ranges. In all cases, the metal interlayer enhances the intensity of the emitted light, either through coupling of the surface plasmon that is excited at the Al/ZnO interface, in the case of light emitting ZnO in the ultraviolet region, or by the increased back reflection from the Al layer, in the case of the visible emission.

Leading the Black Knights with a solid pommel horse performance was senior Matthew Martin, who hit a season high 13.5 and finished first in the event. Junior Mathew Davis served as an all arounder for Army and showed that he is capable of consistently garnering scores of 13 and 14. He was excellent on still rings and vault, events in which he captured first and second place, respectively.

Over the past couple of hundred years, humans have progressively altered the ocean soundtrack with the introduction of shipping, industrial fishing, coastal construction, oil drilling, seismic surveys, warfare, sea bed mining and sonar based navigation. Until recently, underwater sound pollution had not attracted the same attention as its terrestrial equivalent. Now, a new paper published in the journal Science titled of the Anthropocene Ocean lays out the repercussions, demonstrating that noise pollution can be just as harmful to the ocean environment as other kinds of pollution..

Please join me for a neighborhood meeting where we will hear about Marc Buttera’s proposal to open O’So Brewing Company Tasting Room at 1817 E. Washington Avenue, a commercial space in The Marling. The tasting room would operate as an extension of the company’s brewing license as a satellite tasting room.

If nothing else, establishing an alternate DNS root with sufficient weight to keep itself around will press the issue. And it not like this kind of thing will happen overnight. But the COICAs of the world are hot on the heels of freedom of information, and there no time like the present to get started on the future..

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who’ve won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Sigma Delta Chi feature writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism’s existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our “I Support” membership program, allowing us to keep covering Miami with no paywalls..
