The spin Hamiltonian parameters (zero-field splitting D, g factors and hyperfine structure constants) are theoretically studied for Mn2+ in the ZnS nanocrystals and bulks from the perturbation formulae of these quantities for trigonal and cubic tetrahedral 3d5 clusters, respectively. The trigonal Mn2+ centre in the Zn…

We describe the synthesis of spin-labeled bis-ureas which coassemble with bis-urea gelators and report on self-assembly as detected using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). Specifically, EPR detects the gel-sol transition and allows us to quantify how much spin-label is immobilized within the gel fibe…

Temperature-dependent conductivities at dc and terahertz (THz) frequency region (σTHz(ω,T)) were obtained for a strongly correlated (La0.275Pr0.35Ca0.375)MnO3 (LPCMO) film using THz time domain spectroscopy. A composite model that describes σTHz(ω,T) for LPCMO through the insulator-metal transition (IMT) was establish…

We demonstrate an inspection technique, based on only one ellipsometric parameter, Ψ, of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), for the rapid, simultaneous identification of both the structural quality and thicknesses of large-area graphene films. The measured Ψ spectra are strongly affected by changes in the out-of-plane a…
