Computer Modeling of Luminescence in ABO3 Perovskites

Author(s):
R. I. Eglitis, E. A. Kotomin, and G. Borstel
Dept. of Physics , University of Osnabrueck
Germany

We suggest theoretical interpretation to a long-debated discussion on a nature of the intrinsic green luminescence observed in many ABO3 perovskites. For this purpose we performed quantum chemical calculations using Intermediate Neglect of the Differential Overlap combined with the Large Unit Cell periodic model. Triplet exciton which is very likely responsible for the green luminescence is shown to be in a good approximation a pair of nearest Jahn-Teller electron and hole polarons (a bipolaron).

Appeals court rejects FCC's cable ownership cap

IDG News Service - A U.S. appeals court has struck down a U.S. Federal Communications Commission rule prohibiting any cable television operator from serving more than 30% of U.S. subscribers.

The U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against the FCC today, potentially paving the way for large cable providers such as Comcast and Time Warner to buy up smaller competitors. The same court struck down a similar FCC rule back in 2001 and remanded the decision back to the agency.

The ownership cap didn't make sense in light of new cable competitors, including large telecom carriers, critics said.

"The court recognized that the 2007 analysis’ aging data and questionable assumptions sat oddly against the facts about new -- and successful -- competitors to cable systems in the multichannel video marketplace," FCC member Robert McDowell said in a statement. "It should go without saying that, in the future, outcomes in our proceedings should be driven by the facts and law, rather than the other way around.”

Comcast challenged the most recent cap, approved by the FCC in late 2007. “We are pleased the D.C. Circuit has vindicated our position," said Sena Fitzmaurice, Comcast's executive director for corporate communications and government affairs.

"This important decision affirms that rules must reflect the changing realities of the dynamic video marketplace, where today consumers have more choice in video providers and channels than ever before.”

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, who wasn't with the commission during the 2007 vote, noted that Congress in 1992 passed a law requiring ownership limits.

"The FCC staff is currently reviewing the court’s decision with respect to the limit previously adopted, and the commission will take this decision fully into account in future action to implement the law," Genachowski said in a statement

China will account for 15-20% of all iPhone sales in 2010, says analyst

Deal with China's No. 2 carrier makes sense because more of its customers are post-paid

Computerworld - Apple will sell somewhere between five and seven million iPhones in China in 2010 as a result of its deal with the country's second-largest mobile carrier, a Wall Street analyst said today.

The Chinese market will account for about 15% to 20% of Apple's worldwide iPhone sales next year, said Brian Marshall, an analyst with Broadpoint AmTech. "The upside for Apple is great."

Earlier today, China Unicom, the country's No. 2 carrier, announced a three-year agreement with Apple to sell the latter's iPhone, confirming rumors and reports that the two were nearing a deal. Last March, Web sites and bloggers reported that China Unicom had confirmed it would start selling the iPhone the following month, something that did not happen.

China Unicom has about 140 million subscribers, less than a third of the 460 million subscribers of China Mobile, the nation's largest mobile provider, said Marshall. Nonetheless, the No. 2 carrier in the country was still of interest to Apple, he added.

"What's interesting about China Unicom is that only about half of its subscribers are pre-paid customers, which is not the market that Apple is going after," said Marshall. "But about 80% of China Mobile's customers are pre-paid."

That put the two carriers on an almost-equal footing as far as Apple was concerned: China Unicom has about 70 million post-paid customers -- the kind that Apple wants - while China Mobile has approximately 92 million post-paid customers, Marshall estimated.

The close numbers "possibly" helped Apple make the decision to go with China Unicom, he said.

Another factor was that China Unicom has been aggressively building its 3G network, a necessity for the iPhone. China Unicom's 3G network, the only one of the three state-sanctioned carriers' that is compatible with the iPhone, will be in place by the end of the year, said the company's chairman and CEO, Chang Xiaobing, during a news conference today.

Under the three-year deal, China Unicom will start selling iPhones in the fourth quarter of this year. "With 70 million post-paid customers, and assuming flat sales, which are conservative, I think Apple will sell between five and seven million iPhones in China during 2010," said Marshall. He projects that Apple will sell 37 million iPhones worldwide in 2010.

"That means China will account for 15-20% of all iPhone sales next year," said Marshall, rounding up the actual numbers of 13.5-18.9% generated by his math.

Although neither China Unicom or Apple confirmed the reports, some media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, said that the Chinese iPhone would lack Wi-Fi capabilities.

China Unicom did not spell out its iPhone pricing, but did say today that it will purchase the smartphones direct from Apple and offset some of the cost to customers by subsidizing part of the purchase price.

Nor did China Unicom say which model, or models, of the iPhone it will sell later this year.

Even so, Marshall was bullish on Apple's chances. "I see it as a big growth opportunity for Apple," he said.

Apple faces competition in China from other smartphones, including those built on Google's Android operating system, as well as BlackBerry devices from Research in Motion (RIM) and Palm's Pre. And China Mobile is working with Dell on mobile phone for the Chinese market.

On the Palm Pre front, China Telecom, the country's No. 3 mobile carrier by subscriber count, is in talks with Palm about offering that firm's newest smartphone in China.
