A first-principles electronic structure study is performed to determine the optical and static polarizability tensors of various phthalocyanine (Pc) derived molecules, including H2Pc, CuPc, and MgPc. It is found that the dominant contribution to the polarizability is electronic in origin, and that the metal atoms only…

We report on the carrier-induced ferromagnetism in Ge(Mn,Fe) magnetic semiconductor insulating-type thin-film structures prepared using sequential deposition at Tg=520K with subsequent annealing at Tg. In the resulting films Mn and Fe are diffused in the Ge matrix without compromising the epitaxial structure. The anom…

When an alternating magnetic field by a figure-of-eight coil is applied to a circular magnetostrictive patch bonded to a plate, ultrasonic guided waves can be effectively generated and measured. Wave experiments with two transducers consisting of the coil and the patch show that the magnitude and type of the measured…

Transient currents induced by the polarity reversal of an applied dc electric field have been measured in planar-aligned nematic liquid-crystal cells. Experimental results indicate that a minute addition of carbon nanotubes as a dopant leads to a reduction of the ion concentration and thus suppresses the undesired fie…
