β¦ Synopsis
The analysis of the thermal-wave second-harmonic generation in thin films and coatings is presented. It is demonstrated theoretically that thicknesses much less than the thermal-wave penetration (diffusion) length may be measured from the detection of the second-harmonic thermal-wave phase variations. The theory developed describes the crucial dependence of the depth resolution of the resulting non-linear photothermal microscope on the material non-linear parameters.

Semiconductor-based solid-state neutron detectors have received considerable attention in recent years. These devices can be categorized as either thin-film-coated diode detectors or solid-form bulk detectors. There have been many attempts to fabricate boron-based solid-form detectors utilizing proc
