    Abstract: Novel systems of an evanescent microwave probe (EWP) are disclosed, which enable measurements of physical properties of a sample with enhanced sensitivity and resolution, simultaneously. In one embodiment, new shielding features are added to the probe (which may be of either a sharpened tip or loop configuration) to reduce the effects of residual far field radiation, while maintaining the probe section that extends beyond the shielding aperture of the resonator. To further increase the sensitivity of the instrument, an automatic gain-controlled active feedback loop system may be added to the probe resonator to form a self-oscillator. This new active circuit feature significantly increases the effective Q of the resonator probe, enhancing the sensitivity of both the frequency and Q measurement.

    Abstract: The combinatorial approach to materials synthesis can create vast libraries of materials. Some luminescent materials can be activated by the application of electrical current. Additionally, these materials can be activated by the application of an electron gun or some other electron source, such as a /3-emitter. In its simplest form, a library of materials can be screened for luminescence by placing the library in a position to collect beta particles emitted from radioactive /3-emitters.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods to synthesize new functional materials in an effective and efficient way. These methods include physical vapor deposition and laser-assisted epitaxial growth capable of synthesizing materials comprising a plurality of precursors with similar or dissimilar chemical and/or physical properties. The designated materials are formed during the combinatorial synthesis without the neccessity of post-deposition furnace heating to thermally activate simultaneous reaction and diffusion of precursor multilayers. Modulated photoreflectance spectroscopy may be used to screen regions of the library to assess deposition conditions.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed toward white light illumination systems (so called 'white LEDs') that comprise a multi-chip excitation source and a phosphor package. In a two-chip source, the two LEDs may be UV-emitting and blue emitting, or blue-emitting and green-emitting. The phosphor package is configured to emit photoluminescence in wavelengths ranging from about 440 nm to about 700 nm upon co-excitation from the first and second radiation sources. The photoluminescence emitted by the phosphors is at least 40 percent of the total power in the white light illumination, and the portion of the total power in the white light illumination contributed by the first and second radiation sources (LEDs) is less than about 60 percent. This ratio can vary in alternative embodiments, and includes 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, and 80/20, respectively. The white light illumination emitted by the system has in one embodiment a color rendering index (CRI) greater than about 90.
