De Boer, W.B. (author)Fifty years of Si and SiGe epitaxy in the semiconductor industry and twenty-five since the conception of the present generation of industrial epi reactors suffice to justify a review of the evolution and the status of the technology. Although there has been very little change in the reactor design, the epi process progressed significantly. The...journal article 2008

Sluijter, M. (author), De Boer, D.K.G. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)We present simulations of a novel liquid-crystal-based electro-optical device that enables a switching effect owing to a backreflection phenomenon. In the simulations, we exploit the optical properties of a liquid-crystal layer with a Freédericksz alignment in an unconventional way. The resulting switching effect of the proposed optical design...journal article 2008

Hoogenboom, P.C.J. (author), De Boer, A. (author)Reinforcement in a concrete structure is often determined based on linear elastic stresses. This paper considers computation of the required reinforcement when these stresses have been determined by the finite element method with volume elements. Included are both tension reinforcement and compression reinforcement, multiple load combinations...journal article 2008

(author)Recently, a novel holographic diffraction grating made of polymer slices alternated to homogeneous films of nematic liquid crystal (POLICRYPS) was realized. We study the optical performance of the POLICRYPS gratings by both numerical simulations and experiments. Characterization of the grating at normal and conical reading mount are performed....journal article 2008

Sluijter, M. (author), De Boer, D.K.G. (author), Braat, J.J.M. (author)Uniaxial optical anisotropy in the geometrical-optics approach is a classical problem, and most of the theory has been known for at least fifty years. Although the subject appears frequently in the literature, wave propagation through inhomogeneous anisotropic media is rarely addressed. The rapid advances in liquid-crystal lenses call for a good...journal article 2008

Xu, M. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author), De Boer, D.K.G. (author)A color and polarization separating backlight can be obtained by using a surface-relief grating made of birefringent material as an outcoupling structure on top of the lightguide. A rigorous finite element diffraction model was applied to study the polarization effect of such a grating. The diffraction of plane waves by the anisotropic grating...journal article 2007

De Boer, A. (author), Van Zuijlen, A.H. (author), Bijl, H. (author)In fluid-structure interaction simulations the meshes at the fluid-structure interface usually do not match, because of the different mesh requirements for the flow and structure. The exchange of data over the discrete interface becomes then far from trivial. In this paper we investigate the difference in accuracy and efficiency between a...conference paper 2006

De Boer, A. (author), Van der Schoot, M.S. (author), Bijl, H. (author)A new point-by-point mesh movement algorithm is developed for the deformation of unstructured grids. The method is based on using radial basis function, RBFs, to interpolate the displacements of the boundary nodes to the whole flow mesh. A small system of equations has to be solved, only involving the nodes on the boundary of the flow domain....conference paper 2006

De Boer, R.W.I. (author)Organic electronics constitute an innovative field, with interesting applications complementary to the silicon semiconductor technology. From a scientific perspective, there is large interest in the fundamental understanding of electrical transport in organic semiconductors. However, a well-developed microscopic description is still lacking, due...doctoral thesis 2005

Among the relevant deposition parameters, the SiH4 gas flow rate, the main parameter to determine the Si...journal article 2005

(author)The application of wire grid polarizers as efficient polarizing beam splitters for visible light is studied. The large differences between the transmissivity for different polarizations are explained qualitatively by using the theory of metallic wave guides. The results of rigorous calculations obtained by using the finite element method are...journal article 2005
