The results of dielectric measurements for a mixture of chiral liquid crystal 5*CB with Al(2)O(3) powder are given. A detailed analysis of the dielectric spectra enabled us to obtain information about the influence of the Al(2)O(3) grains on the dynamics of the liquid-crystal molecules. Numerical analysis of the resul…

Uchucchacuaite, ideally AgMnPb 3 Sb 5 S 12 , was originally reported as orthorhombic, with possible space group Pmmm, P222, or Pmm2, and unit-cell parameters a = 12.67, b = 19.32, and c = 4.38 Å obtained from powder X‑ray diffraction data (Moëlo et al. 1984a). Using single-crystal X‑ray diffraction, we examined two uc…

An optimum TiO 2 seed layer is said to facilitate nucleation and subsequent growth of perovskite phase in Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) films during annealing. The actual causes that prevent perovskite growth, particularly in sputtered PZT films on thick TiO 2 seed layers are not yet understood clearly. Herein, based on the resu…

Significant acceleration of the photoluminescence (PL) decay rate was observed in water solutions of two rare earth ions (REIs), Tb and Eu. We propose that the time-resolved PL spectroscopy data are explained by a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the REIs. FRET was directly confirmed by detecting…

Human hair can extract significant levels of calcium and magnesium, water hardness metals, from tap water immediately following chemical treatments and during hygiene practices. We have previously shown that this uptake is primarily a function of the condition of the hair. Depending on the extent of chemical damage, t…

Eigenmodes in a typical perforated metal-insulator-metal waveguide structure have been analyzed. It is shown that the lowest eigenmode originates from a plasmonic waveguide mode between metallic layers and has net negative group velocity on the lower branch under TM polarization. The negative group velocity is directl…

Graphene is an excellent conductor, while graphene fluoride is a wide band-gap semiconductor. We propose the formation of graphene channels embedded in graphene fluoride as a method to induce quantum confinement of charge carriers in graphene. In particular, we study the electronic structure of graphene channels drawn…
