We report a dramatic change in effective three-photon absorption coefficient of amorphous Ge16As29Se55 thin films, when its optical band gap decreases by 10 meV with 532 nm light illumination. This large change provides valuable information on the higher excited states, which are otherwise inaccessible via normal opti…

The particle size effects on the charge and spin correlations in half-doped manganite Nd 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3, which exhibits a charge-ordered (CO) transition at 250 K in the bulk counterpart, have been investigated by magnetometry and electron spin resonance (ESR). Magnetic measurements show that reducing the particle si…

This study examined the various physical, structural and electrical properties of SiO(2) doped Ge(2)Sb(2)Te(5) (SGST) films for phase change random access memory applications. Interestingly, SGST had a layered structure (LS) resulting from the inhomogeneous distribution of SiO(2) after annealing. The physical paramete…

In this study, ZnO nanowires (ZNWs)-based optoelectric devices are found to exhibit strong persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect. An optical modulation on the PPC effect of the ZNWs with 980 nm infrared (IR) laser has been investigated. It was found that the decay time for the PPC can be significantly shortened by…

A generalized transformation is proposed to design an illusion device. The device can reshape an arbitrarily shaped perfect electrical conductor (PEC) into another dielectric object with arbitrary geometry. Such a device can evolve into an ideal invisibility cloak with non-conformal boundaries if the virtual space is…

The power efficiency of silicon nanocrystal light-emitting devices is studied in alternating current (ac) regime. An experimental method based on impedance spectroscopy is proposed. The power efficiency in ac regime is higher than the one measured in direct current before a threshold frequency and decreases significan…

(Ga, Mn)As and other diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) attract a great deal of attention for potential spintronic applications because of the possibility of controlling the magnetic properties via electrical gating. Integration of a ferroelectric gate on the DMS channel adds to the system a non-volatile memory fun…

Major attention has been focused on dendrimer-DNA complexes because of their applications in gene delivery systems. Dendrimers are also used to transport miRNA and siRNA in vitro. We examine the interaction of tRNA with several dendrimers of different compositions, mPEG-PAMAM (G3), mPEG-PAMAM (G4), and PAMAM (G4) unde…

We propose an approach for left-handed metamaterial synthesis in the visible frequency range, based on Mie resonance in dielectric/plasmonic rods. On the basis of a qualitative analytical description, the mechanism of plasmonic-particles-based Mie resonance tailoring of the hybrid rod-type resonator under $s$-polariza…

Strain glass (STG) in Ni-rich binary Ti-Ni possesses an $R$-like (rhombohedral) local strain order, but it transforms into $B$19' martensite under stress. It remains a puzzle why the local strain order in STG yields a different long-range strain order. Here, we systematically investigated a ternary Ti${}_{50}$Ni${}_{4…
