By means of full electrodynamic simulations, we investigate structures that can totally absorb light minimizing all reflections. Such efficient absorbers of visible and infrared light are useful in photovoltaic and sensor applications. Our study provides a simple and transparent analysis of the optical properties of s…

Lanthanide bioprobes and bioconjugates are ideal luminescent stains in view of their low propensity to photobleaching, sharp emission lines and long excited state lifetimes permitting time-resolved detection for enhanced sensitivity. We show here how the interplay between physical, chemical and biochemical properties…

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were performed to evaluate the fatigue behaviour of forged Ti–6Al–4V in air and high-pressure gaseous hydrogen (15 MPa) at room temperature. The results indicate that the effect of gaseous hydrogen is dependent on the stress intensity factor (ΔK). The FCG rate was unaffected by hydroge…

We study the temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and the ac conductivity in the dimer Mott insulator family ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-type $\mathrm{Pd}{(\mathrm{dmit})}_{2}$ (where dmit denotes 1,3-dithiole--2-thione--4,5-dithiolate). We find that all compounds within this fam…
