We study a double-nonlinear metamaterial composed of a mixture of both nonlinear electric and nonlinear magnetic resonators. We predict multistable behavior in such metamaterial with the possibility to control the effective index of refraction by the electromagnetic field intensity. In contrast to the structure with j…

The recently demonstrated photoinduced reduction of the coercive field in (Ga,Mn)As is shown to display a pronounced increase in efficiency when triggered by short laser pulses. This is due to the relaxation timescale of the effect that is measured to be about 1.5 ns. In addition, a single 100-fs-pulse with only 80 pJ…

Uniform Mn(2)O(3) octahedral nanoparticles were synthesized by a mediated N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvothermal route. On the basis of a time-dependent experiment, we propose that the Mn(2)O(3) octahedra were formed through oriented aggregation of primary nanocrystals. Meanwhile, poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP) was…

A platelet carbon nanofiber/carbon felt composite with a high surface area (>250 m 2 /g) is synthesized over a carbon felt supported Ni−Cu catalyst using ethane−hydrogen mixtures at 923 K. A uniform layer of carbon nanofibers is thus achieved via an in situ generation and dispersion of Ni−Cu nanoparticles induced by t…

A new type of direct methods (DM) called Patterson-function DM are presented that directly explore the Patterson instead of the modulus function. Since they work with the experimental intensities, they are particularly well suited for handling powder diffraction data. These methods are based on the maximization of the…
