A polarized Raman study of nanographite ribbons on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate is reported. The Raman peak of the nanographite ribbons exhibits an intensity dependence on the light polarization direction relative to the nanographite ribbon axis. This result is due to the quantum confinement of the e…

We present results of the electro-optical effect in 90° twisted nematic cells of pristine and doped liquid crystals under an applied dc voltage. The doped cells were fabricated with a minute addition of either buckminsterfullerene C60 or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Investigated were the switching behaviors as…

Radiative and energy-transfer processes in LiGd 1 - x F 4:Eu 3+ x, where the ground state of Gd 3+ ( 8 S 7/2 ) was selectively excited to the 6 I J state by a 275-nm pulsed laser irradiation, were studied by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. Two decay components were observed in Gd 3+: 6 P 7/2 → 8 S 7/2 emissio…

Abstract The scope of this paper is to continue our earlier study of the peroxide curing of elastomers derived from butadiene. Experimental evidence indicates that abstraction of allylic hydrogen and addition to the double bonds can act as a mechanism for cross‐linking. The addition reaction may give rise to a polymer…

Pump-probe Kerr spectroscopy uncovers surface magnetic dynamics in Pr0.67Ca0.33MnO3 that are undetected by established methods based on optical spectral weight transfer. The connection between spin and charge dynamics in the colossally magnetoresistive manganites may thus be weaker than previously thought. Important d…
