Ellipsometric Characterization of Thin Films from Multicomponent Chalcogenide Glasses for Application in Modern Optical Devices by R. Todorov, J. Tasseva, V. Lozanova, A. Lalova, Tz. Iliev, A. Paneva

“…The knowledge of the optical constants (refractive index, n, and extinction coefficient, k) of thin films is of a great importance from the point of view of modelling and controlling the manufacture of various optical elements, such as waveguides, diffraction gratings, and microlenses. The presented results concern the optical properties of thin films from multicomponent chalcogenide glasses on the base of As2S3 and GeS2 determined by multiple-angle-of-incidence ellipsometry and regarded as a function of the composition and thickness. …”

Recent changes in ENSO’s impacts on the summertime circumglobal teleconnection and mid-latitude extremes by Shankai Tang, Shaobo Qiao, Bin Wang, Fei Liu, Xian Zhu, Taichen Feng, Guolin Feng, Wenjie Dong

“…Since 1980s, the ENSO–ISMR link has weakened, but the westward-displaced ENSO forcing has been able to directly trigger a Rossby wave response at the exit of the East Asian westerly jet, resulting in a shift of the previous CGT’s North Pacific and downstream centers westward along the westerly jet waveguide. State-of-the-art climate models with prescribed anthropogenic forcing cannot simulate these changes, suggesting that they are driven by natural variability. …”
