In the Comment by S. C. Bakshi and D. Mitra [J. Appl. Phys. 128, 126101 (2020)], it is claimed that "cross-polarization reflection was ignored in calculation of absorptivity of that structure," "the actual absorptivity of the new peaks [is] extremely poor (around 40%)," and hence the vertical sliding mechanism of conjoined cut-wire-pairs (CCWPs) "can't be adopted for efficient switching/tuning of the absorption spectra." In this Response, we will demonstrate that these claims are not only unfair but also incorrect as they result from an unfortunate fundamental mistake they made in the attempt of replicating the effective free-space absorber array topology implied in the original article [J. Appl. Phys. 124, 105103 (2018)]. The use of "CCWP unit-cell within a metallic waveguide" scenario in the original work implies the realization of an infinitely large periodic array of a "super-cell," whose structure is determined by the well-known mirror image effect of the perfect electrical conductor type boundary condition imposed by the conducting walls of the waveguide. When this fact is ignored, but instead the free-space array is formed by simply repeating the same asymmetric CCWP unit-cell periodically, a completely different absorber array topology is obtained, which is clearly irrelevant to the original design. Therefore, the results reported in the Comment belong to an alternative absorber array; they do not represent the performance of the original design. In this Response, we will clarify our points outlined above to refute the claims made in the Comment to demonstrate the validity of the original results and the usefulness of the suggested absorber array for practical purposes.

Investigation of carrier transport mechanisms in the Cu-Zn-Se based hetero-structure grown by sputtering technique
Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Bayrakli, O.; Yildiz, D. E.; Parlak, Mehmet (Canadian Science Publishing, 2018-07-01)
In this paper, we present results of the electrical characterization of n-Si/p-Cu-Zn-Se hetero-structure. Sputtered film was found in Se-rich behavior with tetragonal polycrystalline nature along with (112) preferred orientation. The band gap energy for direct optical transitions was obtained as 2.65 eV. The results of the conductivity measurements indicated p-type behavior and carrier transport mechanism was modelled according to thermionic emission theory. Detailed electrical characterization of this stru...
Final results on neutrino oscillation parameters from the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam
Agafonova, N.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-09-06)
© 2019 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.The OPERA experiment has conclusively observed the appearance of tau neutrinos in the muon neutrino CNGS beam. Exploiting the OPERA detector capabilities, it was possible to isolate high purity samples of νe, νμ and ντ charged current weak neutrino interactions, as well as neutral current weak interactions. In this paper, the full dataset is used for the first time to test the three-flavor neutrino oscillation model and to derive constraints on the ...
Coexistence of Indirect and Direct Optical Transitions, Refractive Indices, and Oscillator Parameters in TlGaS2, TlGaSe2, and TlInS2 Layered Single Crystals
Hasanlı, Nızamı (Korean Physical Society, 2010-07-01)
The optical properties of TlGaS2; TlGaSe2, and TlInS2 crystals have been investigated through transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400 - 1100 nm. Optical indirect and direct band gap energies of 2.45 and 2.63 eV (TlGaS2), 1.97 and 2.26 eV (TlGaSe2), 2.27 and 2.47 eV (TlInS2) were found by analyzing the absorption data at room temperature. The transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10 - 300 K revealed that the rates of change of the indirect band gaps...
Exact solvability of moving boundary problems
Yuce, C (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-28)
In this Letter, the problem of a spinless particle under the moving boundary condition is studied. It is found that the exact solution can be found if the boundary moves with the constant speed. It is proven that this restriction on the exact solvability is lifted if the electromagnetic field is introduced in the system. As an application, the exact solution for the particle confined in the sinusoidally vibrating cylindrical well is given.
Effective Mass Dirac-Morse Problem with any kappa-value
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan; TEZCAN, CEVDET; Akcay, Hueseyin (IOP Publishing, 2010-04-01)
The Dirac-Morse problem is investigated within the framework of an approximation to the term proportional to 1/r(2) in the view of the position-dependent mass formalism. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions are obtained by using the parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method for any kappa-value. We also study the approximate energy eigenvalues, and the corresponding wave functions in the case of the constant-mass for pseudospin, and spin cases, respectively.
