We also find slightly larger shifts for the 001 orientation attachment resulting from shorter core-to-core distances. The dependence on the shell thickness is mainly governed by changes in the core-to-core distance mitigated by changes in the confinement energy of the quasi-electron as the shell thickness is varied. As the neck grows beyond ≈ 2 nm, Δ g increases and slowly approach a plateau while δ E g continually increases across all neck sizes studied. We find that below an onset width of about ≈ 2 nm, namely, for neck widths that are smaller than the size of the CdSe core, the changes in δE g and Δ g are rather small. 2, we plot the overall change in the fundamental gap ( δE g = δE e − δE h ≈ δE e, where δE e/h are the changes in the quasi-electron/hole energies in the CQDMs relative to the monomer CQD) as a function of the neck width for all dimers studied in this work. Therefore, the main contribution to the changes in the fundamental gap due to hybridization can be assigned to the quasi-electron (Δ g ≈ Δ e), which is shown in the lower right panel of Fig. However, since the quasi-hole has a relatively heavy effective mass and experiences a large band offset at the core/shell interface, it remains localized to the CdSe core regions (and not the CdS shell), resulting in negligibly small hybridization energies (Δ h ≪ 1 meV). Together, both effects are expected to change the overall fundamental gap by Δ g = Δ h + Δ e. Similarly, the quasi-hole tunneling splitting is given by Δ h = 1 2 E h 1 − E h 2. The hybridization energy of the electron (Δ e, sometime referred to as the “tunneling splitting”) can then be approximated by half the energy difference between the two lowest quasi-electron states, Δ e = 1 2 E e 2 − E e 1. The quasi-electron ground and first excited orbitals can roughly be described by a symmetric and asymmetric superposition of the 1 S e-like envelope functions of the QD monomer building blocks. Typical solutions for the quasi-electron wavefunctions for the ground and first excited states are shown in Fig. Moreover, comparing the postdictions of our model to the experimental measurements, we find excellent agreement in describing the overall spectral red shifts in photoluminescence (PL) and in the absorption as well as spectral broadening and changes in oscillator strengths. A related effect of the quasi-hole was reported for InAs/GaAs dimers grown by molecular beam epitaxy, 20–23 where the symmetry of the hole was correlated with the distance between the two InAs/GaAs quantum dots. Interestingly, we also find that the quasi-hole comprising the lowest exciton changes symmetry with the orientation of attachment. The work sets an atomistic theoretical framework to also predict further optoelectronic characteristics of colloidal quantum dots. Strong excitonic redshifts are predicted for dimers composed of fully fused quantum dots (QDs) with a thin shell. The modifications of the electronic properties in the CQDMs are attributed to a combination of factors, including hybridization energies, loss of confinement in the presence of a neck (which we hereon refer to as “deconfinement”), and modified electron–hole interactions. 19 The calculations and theoretical analysis allow us to delineate the roles of confinement, hybridization, and strain in different planes of attachment while varying the shell thickness and neck girth. The configurations of all the CQDMs were optimized using mechanical force-fields, 16,17 and the corresponding electronic and optical properties were described within the semiempirical pseudo-potential model 18 combined with a nonperturbative description of electron–hole correlations. In this work, we performed atomistic calculations to determine the structure and electronic properties of CQDM composed of two fused CdSe/CdS core–shell CQDs as a model system.

Home / Games / Windows MMO or Medieval Massacre Online Mordhau is the best new. The game, which currently has over 5 million players, will be free to download and add permanently to one's Steam Library today, March 27, and tomorrow, March 28. Torn Banner's Studios announced today alongside their Mirage: Arcane Warfare release date and closed beta details, that Chivalry: Medival Warfare is currently free on Steam for a limited time. This movie being not only good, but good enough to restart the Muppets franchise was an unexpected but utterly delightful surprise. If you’d told me that Jason Segel, from How I Met Your Mother, was going to make a Muppets movie, I’d have probably searched for the nearest table to hide under. The tongue in cheek humor and self-awareness are all perfect, and the soundtrack being stuffed full of catchy musical numbers and classic songs like “We Built This City” only makes it better. Following in the footsteps of previous movies, Kermit sets out to reunite the Muppets with some help from new friends, while also dealing with a conniving businessman. The Muppets (2011)Īlso known as The Great Muppet Comeback (Okay, no it’s not, I made that up) 2011’s The Muppets is what brought the fuzzy crew back into the spotlight after over a decade of home video releases and moderately successful TV shows. NYC is a great backdrop for the Muppets’ shenanigans and fun, which keeps it from feeling stale. Rizzo the Rat takes a lead role, and the Muppet Babies are seen for the first time, while Miss Piggy shows off the technical marvel of being a rollerskating puppet. Basically remixing the plot of the original movie and substituting Broadway for Hollywood, Kermit gets the band back together and sets their sights on the stage. The last Muppet movie before the death of Jim Henson, and often seen as the concluding entry in the trilogy, Take Manhattan is a true gem. In addition to the excellent cast, Treasure Island has wormed its way up the list for several insanely catchy musical numbers including “Cabin Fever” and “A Professional Pirate.” While it’s not the most faithful adaptation of the classic, the story works well with the added Muppety charm. But no one in the history of ever has read or watched Treasure Island because they were interested in legitimate sailors. I also love Tim Curry, and the Muppets, and so I’m willing to overlook minor gaffs and other issues, because it’s freaking Tim Curry and the Muppets! As pirates! And legitimate sailors. I love the original book of Treasure Island. Again, bogged down by an overly complicated plot and a very bizarre Kermit imposter, this film, like Caper, could have been so much more. While it’s not a bad movie, and Fey and Ricky Gervais are excellent choices to star alongside the Muppets, it lacks that real Muppet spark that was so evident in its predecessor. The sequel to 2011’s The Muppets, Most Wanted deals with the gang getting back on their feet after a hiatus, meeting Tina Fey, and having Kermit kidnapped by an odd Russian imposter-frog. The cast is wonderful and the actual heist itself is fun, and Henson’s attention to technical details in some of the scenes is marvelous, but the plot could have been structured better. A Muppet heist movie should have been a smashing success, but the film’s premise of Kermit and Fozzie as reporters and the overly focused spotlight on Miss Piggy bog it down. First, because it was the only Muppet movie directed by Jim Henson, and secondly because it starred the wonderful Diana Rigg, playing off of Miss Piggy. The Muppets will be back in cinemas the next November 23, 2011.Putting The Great Muppet Caper at second to last on this list guts me just a little. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino house band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. The film stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Jack Black, Ed Helms, Bret McKenzie, Eric Stonestreet, Ricky Gervais, Emily Blunt, Mickey Rooney Zach Galifianakis and with the special appearance of Lady Gaga. The movie is directed by James Bobin (Flight of the Conchords) and co-authors Nicholas Stoller (Get Him to the Greek). New image for “THE GREATEST MUPPET MOVIE EVER MADE”. We made 2000 screensavers over 10 days at a community event we had about 10 different people involved and for anyone with reasonably basic computer literacy it only took about three or four screensavers before they were comfortable with making them. Each step so simple that even my 11 and 12 year old Grandkids can do it.Ĭheap, easy to use, actually creates decent installer and screensaver that works.Įase of use – easy to teach others. I have one program that only will display around half of the file – and it is more costly than Ultra!Įase of operation. I told you that I couldn’t choose just one thing that I like the most. This software actually got me excited about going through all my family photo albums to create personal screensavers too. I like that you can make screensavers with. It is very affordable, yet it appears to be so much more professional that I thought it would be. I have created 12 free zodiac screen savers and people download them every week.

It offers all you need to build a screensaver Ultra Screen Saver Maker provides an easy, good program for people of all ages. After downloading several, I saw the limitations of features, and complexitiy. While looking on the internet, I was searching for a good screensaver maker. This is a great program for creating screensavers for distribution to friends and family, especially when considering the low $20 price. I found it very easy to add images, video, and audio clips to this program, it has a very intuitive interface. The *.scr file can be placed in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, then accessed like any standard screensaver from the Windows Desktop. I can readily recommend Ultra Screen Saver Maker, why? Unlike many so called screensaver creators which simply create a *.exe “presentation” type of file, Ultra Screen Saver Maker gives the user the option of creating a *.exe file or a *.scr (true Windows Screensaver) file. Comparible to most of the high end programs. Easy to use and well worth the registration fee. Of all the screen saver creators I have tried…. This screen saver creator is not only easy to use, but can create screen savers that can be a mixture of animations, stills, animated text, and sound, depending on what you want.

Add as many pictures as you want sound movies text also flash files STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!! I Have a Real Screen Saver Maker… Thank You! Now with this release you have outdone yourself with the many additional features and improvements to some of the earlier ones. I had tried several screen saver maker programs before deciding yours was the best. But I do hope that they will improve the design. It has some very useful features, such as unlimited files, and the ability to put in sounds. Stable, works well under multiple Windows platforms. Other programs same price with less and others with same features cost more. Thanks to the programmer for their work in this program creation! After only a short time I decided to purchase the program and am very pleased. The huge plus is how quickly I made a sample screensaver with my graphics and sounds. Just wanted to let you know the Ultra Screen Saver Maker program is awesome! I downloaded several trial versions from CNET today and this one beat them all in ease of use and creation options. You guys made a great product here – cheers to you all! Your instructions of use are top notch and what I set out to accomplish with my art was done. I’d spent over $300 on screensaver builder applications earlier but no solution for a complete product in less than 10 minutes. Just downloaded your Ultra Screen Saver Maker and must say I really like it! Especially the clean and simple interface.įeature/Function/Value - Screensaver Tops!īased on description and outstanding ratings of earlier version, downloaded this screensaver.

While it may not be as well-known as it's cousin Mario Kart 7, Sega's fun/hardcore racing game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is still While it may not be as well-known as it's cousin Mario Kart 7, Sega's fun/hardcore racing game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is still a blast that in my opinion is just as worthy as its Nintendo rival. Well done Sega and sumo Digital for bringing us this masterpiece of a game. (Though MK7 is still a really good game that revolutionised the MK series at the time.) I mean, you can literally transform into a boat and a freaking plane, that's just mind-blowingly awesome! They should definitely use this gimmick again if we ever get a 4th kart racer in the series, and even better, it doesn't cost much and it was a bargain at launch. This puts Mario Kart 7's water and gliding gimmick to shame. Some of the tracks literally change as you progress through the laps and are so diverse and creative, and the music is fire as always in sonic games. The tracks in this game are amazing, although I feel like they could have given us better retro tracks like Ocean ruin, Sandy drifts and Highway Zero from Sonic and Sega all stars racing, but the retro tracks we got aren't bad. The graphics are great, it's better than Mario Kart 8 deluxe and that's saying something and the amount of content in this game is phenomenal, there's so much to do. It's cool that we got wreck it Ralph and Danica Patrick (a literal real life racer). There is only one negative to this game, and that's the flying controls when you first start up the game, but you can change them to be There is only one negative to this game, and that's the flying controls when you first start up the game, but you can change them to be better, so it doesn't take away from the score of this masterpiece, which is a solid 10/10. No matter if you've been a SEGA fan for ages, or if you just picked up the game to have some fun, you'll love this game for sure, it is for sure one of the best racing games out there. This game is also like how video games used to be, packed with a bunch of amazing unlockable content you don't have to pay for but you really have to work hard to get, it's a very lengthy, but nonetheless, amazing game. The soundtrack for the game is made of mainly of remixes, but is still perfectly fitting & very catchy. For SEGA fans, this game is sure to please you with an incredible roster of beloved Sonic & SEGA characters, as well as tracks that are based off of great levels that they've made into fun tracks to race on. The car sections play just as anyone would expect, the boat sections are great with waves & currents to make the sections funner & more challenging, and the flight sections play like a flight simulator (inverted up & down, etc). The controls are very realistic to how how think each vehicle transformation should play. It features all the great fun of a kart racing game, but features beautiful graphics & a more realistic racing game engine that resembles Need For Speed or Forza Motorsport. This game is a mix of the first Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing game, as well as Mario Kart 7 & Need For Speed. This game is by far one of, if not, THE most beautifully done game made by SEGA & is an amazing pickup no matter if you are a SEGA or Sonic fan or not.

Also, there is the Restore From File tab, to specify path to an archive file. This tab has two parts: backup options (add, remove, import, rename) and information (source, destination, etc.). However, there are certain restrictions, e.g. file system conversion and scheduling not included, FAT32 restore limitations, etc. There is also HDM version for Mac computers with same core features - disk management, bootable restore media, data backups, disk wiping.

The downside is that OnTrack costs significantly more than using Paragon or CrashPlan ahead of time. Whereas Paragon and CrashPlan act as preventative measures by creating backup copies of your data, OnTrack can help you recover data when there’s no backup available. If you do need the ability to recover deleted files or pull data from a broken hard drive, check out OnTrack EasyRecovery. While it won’t help you boot a crashed operating system, CrashPlan does offer much more control over file versioning than Backup and Recovery. CrashPlan, which enables you to back up an unlimited amount of data to the cloud, physical hard drives, or both, costs just $10 per computer per month. Paragon Backup and Recovery: The competitionĪt the end of the day, Paragon is competing more with other free and affordable backup tools than with true data recovery solutions. On the other hand, some users may prefer to pay for a premium service that offers cloud storage and other critical functions. You can also use Paragon to prepare a WinPE bootable environment as an ISO image or through a USB drive, making it easy to recover data after experiencing problems with your operating system.Īdditionally, Paragon Backup and Recovery is extremely easy to use and accessible to people who aren’t familiar with the process of backing up files. That said, it contains most of the tools you need to store data and consistently update your backups, and it outperforms many other free hard drive recovery programs. Paragon Backup and Recovery is missing a few key features, including online backups and an active support forum. Paragon Backup and Recovery: Final verdict Finally, registered users can submit tickets directly to Paragon for one-on-one support. While there’s a dedicated support forum, it’s no longer active.

The Knowledge Base offers answers to some of the most common questions. The automatic backup tool enables you to copy an entire disk or just specific files. With Backup and Recovery, it’s easy to manage your data at a glance and create a consistent backup schedule. Once the data is backed up, Backup and Recovery makes it simple to import it back to the original location. We didn’t encounter any major performance issues while using the application, but the backup took slightly longer than expected. Unfortunately, Mac users can currently only access the program on macOS 10.15. Paragon Backup and Recovery has relatively low system requirements and should work well on any computer running Windows 7 or newer, although it’s worth noting that as Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, you probably should have upgraded your OS by now. Regular backups help avoid the need to recover lost or corrupted files as other versions of your files are kept safely elsewhere. It’s easy to set up a bootable USB drive as Backup and Recovery walks you through each step of the process. This backup of 4.61 GB took roughly 15 minutes. |
