We study an extended bootstrap percolation process in several steps in dimension one, assuming noncyclic boundary conditions. We study the asymptotic behavior of the process as the size of the underlying graph goes to innity. We nd a phase transition with respect to the initial conditions. The phase diagram on the set of initial conditionals of the extended process is described completely. This pr

The pattering of an optical surface with physical features like with very low reflectivity and high transmission of IR or visible light can be used e.g. for antireflective windows for solar cells and photodetectors. Here we present results on antireflective patterning of Si for back side illuminated InAsSb nanowire long wavelength IR (8-15 µm) photodetectors. Photolithography and dry etching techn
