First-principles calculations of the second-order optical response coefficients are reported for Ag–III–VI2 compounds with III=Ga, In and VI=S, Se, Te. While both the substitutions of In for Ga and Te for Se or S lower the band gap by similar amounts, the substitution of Se by Te is significantly more favorable for in…

A conventional method to synthesize diffractive optical elements and computer-generated holograms (CGH's) with high diffraction efficiency relies on an increase of phase levels. To fabricate such a device, one should perform electron-beam (e-beam) lithography with multiple-dose exposures or multiple-step photolithogra…

Highly accurate soft-XMCD data recorded on a Nd2Fe14B single crystal, through the spin reorientation transition show that the average Fe orbital moment (a) is proportional to the macroscopic Fe anisotropy constant, and (b) diverges 15 K below the reorientation transition temperature. This divergence is indicative of a…

Epitaxial a-axis oriented CrO2 films with a strong in-plane uniaxial anisotropy exhibit easy-axis switching at small fields and coherent rotation of magnetization at larger fields. Unique angular dependence of |cos φ| and |sec φ| have been observed for remanence and switching field, respectively.

We study, theoretically, the ground state spin of a carbon nanotube in the presence of an external potential. We find that when the external potential is applied to a part of the nanotube, its variation changes the single electron spectrum significantly. This, in combination with Coulomb repulsion and the symmetry pro…

We present experimental evidence of the equilibrium coexistence between crystalline phases in heteroepitaxial films of MnAs on GaAs. The phases, which can coexist in the bulk system only at one temperature point, coexist in the epitaxial film over a wide temperature interval. An apparent contradiction with the Gibbs p…

Transmission electron energy-loss spectrometry was used to investigate the electronic states of metallic Li and LiC6, which is the Li-intercalated graphite used in Li-ion batteries. The Li K edges of metallic Li and LiC6 were nearly identical, and the C K edges were only weakly affected by the presence of Li. These re…

We report observations of the ferroelectric domain structure in epitaxial lead zirconate titanate (PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3) ferroelectric thin films using piezoresponse microscopy. By manipulating the film thickness, a uniform two-dimensional grid of 90° domains (a domains, i.e., c axis in the plane of the film) has been induc…

According to the liquid-liquid critical-point hypothesis about water, two liquid waters exist at low temperatures and are supposed to be merged at a critical point. The low-temperature metastable melting curves of ${\mathrm{D}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ ices have been measured. It is found that the melting curve of ${\mathrm{D}}…

The novel method of observation and controlling of Bose-Einstein condensation in the system of spatially and momentum-space indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells using in-plane magnetic and normal electric fields is proposed. Fields are used for exciton dispersion engeneering. In the presence of in-plane magnetic…

We study the effect of general nonlinear force laws in viscoelastic lattice models of fracture, focusing on the existence and stability of steady-state Mode III cracks. We show that the hysteretic behavior at small driving is very sensitive to the smoothness of the force law. At large driving, we find a Hopf bifurcati…

We study the equilibrium domain structure and magnetic flux around a ferromagnetic (FM) film with perpendicular magnetization M_0 on a superconducting (SC) substrate. At 4πM_0> 1. Here λ_L is the London penetration length. For 4πM_0 > H_{c1} and l_{N} in excess of about 35 λ_{L}, the domains are connected by SC vortic…

The rheological data of weakly attractive colloidal particles are shown to exhibit a surprising scaling behavior as the particle volume fraction, straight phi, or the strength of the attractive interparticle interaction, U, are varied. There is a critical onset of a solid network as either straight phi or U increase a…

Several organic liquid-phase reactions are carried out in the presence of a sparingly soluble reactive solid phase which is gradually dissolved during the course of the reaction. The presence of the reactive solid phase complicates the treatment of kinetic data, since the overall reaction rate is influenced by the sol…
