    Homicide in American Fiction, 1798–1860 (2022)
    Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Homicide has many social and psychological implications that vary from culture to culture and which change as people accept new ideas concerning guilt, responsibility, and the causes of crime. A study of attitudes toward homicide is therefore a method of examining social values in a specific setting. Homicide in American Fiction, 1798–1860 is the first book to contrast psychological assumptions of imaginative writers with certain social and intellectual currents in an attempt to integrate social attitudes toward such diverse subjects as human evil, moral responsibility, criminal insanity, social causes of crime, dueling, lynching, the "unwritten law" of a husband's revenge, and capital punishment. In addition to works of literary distinction by Cooper, Hawthorne, Irving, and Poe, among others, Davis considers a large body of cheap popular fiction generally ignored in previous studies of the literature of this period. This is an engrossing study of fiction as a reflection of and a commentary on social problems and as an influence shaping general beliefs and opinions.

    The Medieval Economy of Salvation (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: In The Medieval Economy of Salvation, Adam J. Davis shows how the burgeoning commercial economy of western Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, alongside an emerging culture of Christian charity, led to the establishment of hundreds of hospitals and leper houses. Focusing on the county of Champagne, he looks at the ways in which charitable organizations and individuals—townspeople, merchants, aristocrats, and ecclesiastics—saw in these new institutions a means of infusing charitable giving and service with new social significance and heightened expectations of spiritual rewards. In tracing the rise of the medieval hospital during a period of intense urbanization and the transition from a gift economy to a commercial one, Davis makes clear how embedded this charitable institution was in the wider social, cultural, religious, and economic fabric of medieval life.

    Culture and Cognition (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: This groundbreaking book challenges the disciplinary boundaries that have traditionally separated scientific inquiry from literary inquiry. It explores scientific knowledge in three subject areas—the natural history of aging, literary narrative, and psychoanalysis. In the authors' view, the different perspectives on cognition afforded by Anglo-American cognitive science, Greimassian semiotics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis help us to redefine our very notion of culture. Part I historically situates the concepts of meaning and truth in twentieth-century semiotic theory and cognitive science. Part II contrasts the modes of Freudian case history to the general instance of Einstein's relativity theory and then sets forth a rhetoric of narrative based on the discourse of the aged. Part III examines in the context of literary studies an interdisciplinary concept of cultural cognition. Culture and Cognition will be essential reading for literary theorists, historians and philosophers of science; semioticians; and scholars and students of cultural studies, the sociology of literature, and science and literature.

    Effects of Al and Ti interlayers on Sb/(HgCd)Te interface behavior (1989)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 65 (1989), S. 3435-3440 
    Details
    ISSN: 1089-7550

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: The effects of 0.1 and 0.5-nm Al and 0.02-nm Ti interlayers on the Sb/(HgCd)Te system have been investigated with photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. With no interlayer, the Sb forms an abrupt, uniform overlayer with a stoichiometric interface and causes no change in the band bending induced during the cleaving process. With the two Al interlayers Sb exhibits less uniform deposition and diffuses into the semiconductor enough to reverse the additional band bending caused by Al in-diffusion. It also reacts with the elemental Al of the 0.5-nm interlayer to form AlSb. The increased disruption of the (HgCd)Te surface by the Ti interlayer leads to enhanced out-diffusion of Te in addition to Sb clustering and in-diffusion. In this case, Sb is able to compensate for the inversion occurring during cleavage and returns the surface to a nearly flat-band condition.

    SiGe/Si superlattices on implanted buried-oxide structures (1989)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 65 (1989), S. 1505-1509 
    Details
    ISSN: 1089-7550
    Source: AIP Digital Archive
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: In an attempt to reduce the number of threading dislocations propagating through a silicon epitaxial layer grown on an implanted buried-oxide structure, a SiGe/Si superlattice was placed between the initial silicon surface layer and the subsequently grown silicon epitaxial layer. Both the superlattice and the silicon epitaxial layer were formed by molecular-beam epitaxy. Some of the threading dislocations are bent parallel to the superlattice as they propagate through the structure. Some of these are annihilated by interacting with other dislocations while others bend toward the surface again after propagating parallel to the superlattice for some distance. The effect of the superlattice is limited, and many of the dislocations continue propagating through the superlattice toward the surface of the silicon epitaxial layer.

    Chemical vapor deposition and characterization of 6H-SiC thin films on off-axis 6H-SiC substrates (1988)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 64 (1988), S. 2672-2679

    ISSN: 1089-7550

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: High-quality, monocrystalline 6H-SiC thin films have been epitaxially grown on 6H-SiC {0001} substrates which were prepared 3° off-axis from 〈0001〉 towards 〈112¯0〉 at 1773 K via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Essentially, no defects were generated from the epilayer/substrate interface as determined by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). Double positioning boundaries which were observed in β-SiC grown on 6H-SiC substrates were eliminated as confirmed by plan-view TEM. A strong dependence of the surface morphology of the as-grown thin films on the tilting orientation of the substrates was observed and reasons for this phenomenon are discussed. The unintentionally doped 6H-SiC thin films always exhibit n-type conduction with a carrier concentration on the order of 1016 cm−3. Au-6H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes were fabricated on the CVD 6H-SiC thin films and it was found that the leakage current at a reverse bias of 55 V was only 3.2×10−5 A/cm2. This is compared to SiC films grown on other substrates.

    Electrical properties of ion-implanted p-n junction diodes in β-SiC (1988)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 63 (1988), S. 922-929

    Notes: Mesa structure junction diodes prepared via high-temperature ion implantation of Al+ (100 keV, 4.8×1014 Al/cm2) in n-type or N+ (90 and 180 keV, 0.9 and 1.3×1014 N/cm2) in p-type β-SiC thin films were electrically characterized as a function of temperature using current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements. In either case, rectification was observed to the highest measurement temperature of 673 K. Closer examination of the device current-voltage characteristics yielded diode ideality factors greater than 2. Additionally, the log dependence of these two parameters indicated space-charge-limited current in the presence of traps as the dominant conduction mechanism. From the temperature dependence of log-log plots, trap energies and densities were determined. Two trapping levels were observed: (1) 0.22 eV with a density of 2×1018 cm−3 and (2) 0.55 eV with a density of 2×1016 cm−3. The former is believed to be ionized Al centers (in the case of Al-implanted sample) and the latter a compensating acceptor level, both of which lie within the bottom third of the band gap. Reverse currents at low biases were characteristic of generation in the depletion region. At intermediate biases an ohmic dependence was observed, whereas at high biases the current appeared to be space-charge limited. Capacitance-voltage measurements indicated both types of diodes were abrupt junctions.

    Optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of barium borate (1987)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 62 (1987), S. 1968-1983

    Notes: We report measurements of all the material constants necessary to fully characterize barium borate as a nonlinear optical material. All data was taken on crystals supplied by Professor Chuangtien Chen, Fuzhou, People's Republic of China. We have determined the crystal structure, the optical absorption, the refractive indices from the UV to the near IR, the thermo-optic coefficients, the nonlinear optical or coefficients, the resistance to laser damage, the elastic constants, the thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and dielectric constants, and the fracture toughness. This data is used to evaluate barium borate for a variety of applications. We find that, in general, barium borate has a low acceptance angle, and that despite its higher optical nonlinearity, it is therefore not significantly more efficient than other commonly available materials, except in the UV below 250 nm. On the other hand, it has a high damage threshold, it is physically robust, it has good UV and IR transparency, and it has excellent average power capability. It permits deep UV generation, and has great potential for generating tunable visible and IR light as an optical parametric amplifier.

    Notes: Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy has been used to characterize as-grown and ion-implanted 3C-SiC films grown by chemical vapor deposition on Si(100) substrates. The D1 and D2 defect PL bands reported previously in ion-implanted Lely-grown SiC were also observed in the as-grown chemical vapor deposited films, and the effects of annealing (1300–1800 °C) on these PL bands as observed in as-grown films and films implanted with B, Al, or P have been studied. As reported previously for Lely-grown SiC, the spectral details of the defect PL bands and their annealing characteristics were found to be independent of the particular implanted-ion species.
