Thermal expansion behaviors of Ba 6−3 x Ln 8+2 x Ti 18 O 54 (Ln=La, Nd, and Sm, x =0.5, 0.67, and 0.75) ceramics were determined by dilatometric measurement. The samples of all investigated compositions expanded nearly linearly with increasing temperature in the range of 20°–1200°C. Their thermal expansion coefficient…

We introduce a way to estimate the fluctuation of the refractive index during thin film deposition, through an optical monitor. The thicknesses and error-compensated thickness for each layer are analyzed. A novel monitoring method is thereby derived. The revised refractive index and the choice of highly sensitive moni…

Here, we report an alternative route to the preparation of highly luminescent CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) using Te nanorods instead of freshly prepared NaHTe as the Te source via a one-pot route under hydrothermal conditions. Furthermore, microtubes with red fluorescence were generated via simply aging the above CdTe NC s…

Planar antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) cells exhibit propagating solitary waves. By measuring the retardation and the apparent tilt angle, we find that the conventional model for the solitary wave propagation in AFLCs is not generally applicable. The model being proposed here shows that the solitary wave propa…

The boson peak is an excess in the phonon density of states compared to the Debye model that appears in almost all glasses. It has been repeatedly measured in the bulk by a variety of methods, but its origin is still highly debated. Here we present first experimental evidence of the boson peak on the v-SiO2 surface. T…

This paper is a theoretical and experimental study of the optical properties of binary aqueous suspensions containing metal nanoparticles (NPs) coated with charged organics. If all nanoparticles bear charges of the same polarity, the NPs do not aggregate, and the solutions are stable. Under these circumstances, optica…

We have studied various ferroelectric liquid crystals to find the average molecular direction of the shortest axis in the perfectly unwound state by using tilted conoscopic measurements. We find that there exist two types of temperature dependencies of the biaxiality. Some materials exhibit increasing biaxiality while…
