When a modulated beam of 1ight impinges on a solid, elastic waves are produced as a result o-f the surface motion due to thermal expansion. In semiconductors, in addition to this thermal expansion effect, there is also mechanical strain induced in the material due to the photogeneration of excess...

Fusarium species are ubiquitous soil inhabiting fungi. They have the ability to exist as saprophytes degrading lignin and complex carbohydrates associated with plant debris. Although the predominant role of these saprophytes is harmless, many species are pathogenic to plants, especially in...
