Si nanoclusters embedded in SiO 2 have been produced by thermal annealing in the 900–1250 °C range of SiO x films or of SiO 2 /Si/SiO 2 multilayers, both prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. The structural properties of these systems have been investigated by energy filtered transmission electron mi…

We study the excitation of electromagnetic surface waves in a slab of a left-handed metamaterial separating a one-dimensional periodic photonic crystal and a homogeneous dielectric medium, the so-called surface Tamm states. We show that such a layered structure can exhibit a giant lateral Goos-H\"anchen shift of the s…

The alignment and polarizability of single-wall carbon nanotubes in dilute ethanol suspensions under low-frequency, alternating-current electric fields were investigated through optical polarimetry. The nematic order parameter was determined by measuring changes in the state of polarization of a laser beam transmitted…

We report high-pressure dynamic compression experiments of liquid water along a quasiadiabatic path leading to the ice-VII region of the phase diagram. We observe dynamic features resembling van der Waals loops and find that liquid water is compacted to a metastable state close to the ice density before the onset of c…

The thermal conductivity is calculated with the Helfand-moment method in the Lennard-Jones fluid near the triple point. The Helfand moment of thermal conductivity is here derived for molecular dynamics with periodic boundary conditions. Thermal conductivity is given by a generalized Einstein relation with this Helfand…

N-doped and Zr–N codoped p-type ZnO films were grown on sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The carrier type and conduction are very sensitive to N2O deposition pressure. p-type conduction is observed only for films grown at an intermediate pressure range (5×10−5–5×10−4Torr). The Zr–N codoped ZnO films gro…

In this paper, we investigate the physical mechanism and properties of the two classes of photonic gaps in the aperiodic Thue-Morse (TM) lattice: the traditional gaps and the fractal gaps. Based on the analysis of the field distributions of the midgap and gap-edge states, we demonstrate that the two classes of gaps or…

The authors propose a new method, the Helfand-moment method, to compute the shear viscosity by equilibrium molecular dynamics in periodic systems. In this method, the shear viscosity is written as an Einstein-type relation in terms of the variance of the so-called Helfand moment. This quantity is modified in order to…
