Show Abstract
This letter introduces a diffusion–transmission condition for dealing with the transport of electrons, phonons, and photons at interfaces, and boundaries. The condition can be used consistently with drift–diffusion-type transport equations and simplifies interface-dominated transport problems. This interface condition is used to establish a formulation for thermionic emission that is applicable to arbitrary barrier heights. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Show Abstract
We utilize a real-time acoustic technique, based on pulse-echo measurements to detect formation of microbubbles in an aqueous solution of a silver/dendrimer nanocomposite (DNC). Wave-field plots of successive recordings illustrate the generation and behavior of bubbles created by the optical breakdown process. A significant threshold reduction is achieved with DNC particles compared to its host dendrimer, enabling a diverse field of low-threshold breakdown applications. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.
