The two-dimensional carrier confinement in the wells formed by the conduction and valence band discontinuities changes many basic semiconductor parameters. The parameter important in the laser is the density of states in the conduction and valence bands. The density of states is gready reduced in quantum well lasers (11,12). This makes it easier to achieve population inversion and thus results in a corresponding reduction in the threshold carrier density. Indeed, quantum well lasers are characterized by threshold current densities as low as 100-150 A/cm, dramatically lower than for conventional lasers. In the quantum well lasers, carriers are confined to the wells which occupy only a small fraction of the active layer volume. The internal loss owing to absorption induced by the high carrier density is very low, as Httie as 2 cm . The output efficiency of such lasers shows almost no dependence on the cavity length, a feature usehil in the preparation of high power lasers.

In vertical downward flow as well as in upward and downward inclined flows, the flow patterns that can be observed are essentially similar to those described above, and the definitions used can be applied. Experimental data on flow patterns and the transition boundaries are usually mapped on a two dimensional plot. Two basic types of coordinates are generally used for this mapping - one that uses dimensional coordinates such as superficial velocities, mass superficial velocities, or momentum flux and another that uses dimensionless coordinates in which some kind of dimensionless groups are used as coordinates. The dimensional coordinates maps are inherently limited to the range of data and flow conditions under which the experiments were conducted. In spite of this limitation, it is widely used because of its simplicity and ease of use. Figure 24 provides an example of such a map. 

From our transport measurements, we can conclude that at low temperatures, the conductivity of the bundle of buckytubes shows two-dimensional weak localization behavior and the MR is negative above 60 K the MR is positive and increases approximately... 

Although the tests were conducted only for two-dimensional cases, the authors suggest that their results can be extended to three-dimensional cases as follows ... 

In reality, heat is conducted in all three spatial dimensions. While specific building simulation codes can model the transient and steady-state two-dimensional temperature distribution in building structures using finite-difference or finite-elements methods, conduction is normally modeled one-... 

As expected from their structures, the elements are poor conductors of electricity solid F2 and CI2 have negligible conductivity and Br2 has a value of 5 X 10 ohm cm just below the mp. Iodine single crystals at room temperature have a conductivity of 5 x 10 ohm cm perpendicular to the be layer plane but this increases to 1.7 x 10 ohm cm" within this plane indeed, the element is a two-dimensional semiconductor with a band gap g 1.3eV (125kJmol" ). Even more remarkably, when crystals of iodine are compressed they become metallic, and at 350kbar have a conductivity of 10" ohm" cm", The metallic nature of the conductivity is confirmed by its negative temperature coefficient.

In diamond, carbon is sp hybridized and forms a tetrahedral, three-dimensional network structure, which is extremely rigid. Graphite carbon is sp2 hybridized and planar. Its application as a lubricant results from the fact that the two-dimensional sheets can slide across one another, thereby reducing friction. In graphite, the unhybridized p-electrons are free to move from one carbon atom to another, which results in its high electrical conductivity. In diamond, all electrons are localized in sp3 hybridized C—C cr-bonds, so diamond is a poor conductor of electricity. 

The heat transfer model, energy and material balance equations plus boundary condition and initial conditions are shown in Figure 4. The energy balance partial differential equation (PDE) (Equation 10) assumes two dimensional axial conduction. Figure 5 illustrates the rectangular cross-section of the composite part. Convective boundary conditions are implemented at the interface between the walls and the polymer matrix.
