Emission enhancement from BaTiO3:Pr3+ by addition of trivalent ion under excitation above the fundamental absorption edge of BaTiO3 host crystals has been investigated. In this system, energy transfer occurs from BaTiO3 to Pr3+. Emission of Pr3+ is intensified by addition of small trivalent ions, e.g., Yb3+ or Sc3+, w…

We performed local density approximation (LDA)-based ab initio calculations for isolated substitutional donor impurities (phosphorus single donor and sulfur double donor), hydrogen at various sites, and hydrogen-related complexes (phosphorus-hydrogen and sulfur-hydrogen) in diamond. Their stable atomic configurations…

The demagnetizing problem should be studied numerically in nonellipsoids with nonzero susceptibility χ, except for a few limiting cases where analytical treatment turns out to be practical. In this work, for an infinitely long bar with rectangular cross section 2a×2b and χ=∞ and −1 in a uniform transverse applied fiel…

The image contrast of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is investigated via high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) experiments and image simulations. It is found that the common practice of determining the tube diameter by measuring the two dark lines in the HRTEM image of a SWCNT is not very a…

Spectroscopic analysis of the unhydrogenated amorphous carbon nitride (a-CNx) films, prepared by ion beam sputtering, was done by ellipsometry, Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) studies. The optical gap of the films was estimated from the Tauc’s analysis of the (n,k) data obtained from spect…

Highly oriented indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) on glass and single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of these films were investigated as a function of oxygen partial pressure. Films were deposited at su…

The nonlinear optical properties of solid-solid phase transformation in vanadium dioxide are studied. It is found that the efficiency of the third-harmonic optical signal generated from the surface of the material increases by 1.5 orders of magnitude as a function of this phase transformation. Microscopy studies show…

An irreversible conductor-insulator transition has been observed when heating Mg2NiH4 in the temperature interval 110 to 570 K. The disappearance of the electric conductivity is concomitant with the appearance of stacking faults (or microtwinning) in the Mg2NiH4 structure, as observed by powder x-ray diffraction. Howe…

The Debye theory of dielectric relaxation of an assembly of polar molecules is reformulated using a fractional noninertial Fokker–Planck equation for the purpose of extending that theory to explain anomalous dielectric relaxation. The fractional Fourier–Planck equation in question is a generalization of the Smoluchows…
