Previously electric-field-induced transitions from helical to planar structures in bulk liquid crystals were considered to take place with unwinding of helix. We show that the transition to the planar structure in polar smectic with frustrating interlayer interaction can occur without unwinding but through the formati…

During the past two years, we have underlined the great potential of p-type oxychalcogenides, with parent compound BiCuSeO , for thermoelectric applications in the medium temperature range (400–650°C). These materials, which do not contain lead and are less expensive than Te containing materials, exhibit large thermoe…

We propose optical imaging technique that relies on diffractive rather than refractive elements. Our approach takes advantage of metagratings, structures with engineered diffraction properties, and natural materials with sufficiently high refractive indices to achieve significant reduction in pixel size. In contrast t…
