In this work we explore the transmission properties of a single slit in a metallic screen. We analyze the dependence of these properties on both slit width and angle of incident radiation. We study in detail the crossover between the subwavelength regime and the geometrical-optics limit. In the subwavelength regime, r…

When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency band structures appear. Under certain conditions, waves may be prohibited from pr…

We present numerical measurements of the critical correlation length exponent nu in the three-dimensional fuse model. Using sufficiently broad threshold distributions to ensure that the system is the strong-disorder regime, we determine nu to be nu = 0.86 +/- 0.06 based on analyzing the fluctuations of the survival pr…

We incorporate realistic pair potential energies directly into a non-linear least-square fit of diffraction data to quantitatively compare structure models with experiment for the Ni-rich $d$(AlNiCo) quasicrystal. The initial structure models are derived from a few {\it a priori} assumptions (gross features of the Pat…

Elastic constants and zone-boundary phonon frequencies of gold are calculated by total energy electronic structure methods to twofold compression. A generalized force constant model is used to interpolate throughout the Brillouin zone and evaluate moments of the phonon distribution. The moments are used to calculate t…

We consider the flow of polarization current J(t)=dP/dt produced by a homogeneous electric field E(t) or by rapidly varying some other parameter in the Hamiltonian of a solid. For an initially insulating system and a collisionless time evolution, the dynamic polarization P(t) is given by a nonadiabatic version of the…

Single-crystalline perovskite nanostructures with reproducible shape have been prepared using a simple, readily scaleable solid-state reaction in the presence of NaCl and a nonionic surfactant. Pristine BaTiO3 nanowires have diameters ranging from 50 to 80 nm with an aspect ratio larger than 25. Single-crystalline SrT…

Time-resolved second-harmonic generation (TRSHG) and transient photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy are utilized to probe the ultrafast creation and subsequent relaxation of excited carriers immediately following band-gap excitation in single ZnO nanowire and nanoribbon lasers. The TRSHG signal consists of a 1−5 ps rec…

A simple hydrothermal method has been developed for the systematic synthesis of lanthanide orthophosphate crystals with different crystalline phases and morphologies. It has been shown that pure LnPO(4) compounds change structure with decreasing Ln ionic radius: i.e., the orthophosphates from Ho to Lu as well as Y exi…

The surfactant-mediated shape evolution of titanium dioxide anatase nanocrystals in nonaqueous media was studied. The shape evolves from bullet and diamond structures to rods and branched rods. The modulation of surface energies of the different crystallographic faces through the use of a surface selective surfactant…

As an efficient nanolens, we propose a self-similar linear chain of several metal nanospheres with progressively decreasing sizes and separations. To describe such systems, we develop the multipole spectral expansion method. Optically excited, such a nanolens develops the nanofocus ("hottest spot") in the gap between…

Zehnmal schnellere Umsetzungen von Ethylbenzol (EB) zu Styrol über unpromotierten Hämatitkatalysatoren sind möglich, wenn die Reduktion zu Magnetit und die Verkokung durch Zugabe von Sauerstoff verhindert werden. Dies ergeben Messungen mit dem skizzierten Prallplatten-Mikroflussreaktor (1: Modellkatalysator, 2: Versch…

The depletion interaction between two and three big hard spheres in a small hard sphere fluid with volume fraction π/10 is calculated both from Monte Carlo simulations and the Asakura–Oosawa approximation. The Monte Carlo results are in good agreement with previous DFT results. The three-body interaction at this volum…

This work exploits the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy of noble metal nanoparticles to achieve sensitive and selective detection of biological analytes. Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit an LSPR that is strongly dependent on their size, shape, material, and the local dielectric environment. The…

This work discusses an issue caused by omitting the fourth-order zero-field splitting (ZFS) terms in the analysis of random-orientation EPR spectra. Eu(II)-doped strontium aluminates were employed as a model system of the S-state lanthanoid ions, which have relatively large second-rank ZFS components, comparable to th…

This paper studies the nanojet ejection process by spreading droplets on a solid surface using molecular dynamics simulation based on the Lennard-Jones potential. During the simulation, it was found that the spreading width increased as the aperture dimensions and time increased. An energy wave phenomenon was also fou…
