Domain structures as typically found in tetragonally polarized ferroelectrics are investigated regarding their large-signal behavior by conducting phase-field simulations. The underlying free energy function of the phase-field model stems from a completely knowledge-based multiscale adjustment approach (Volker et al 2…

In this paper we discuss the elaboration, optical properties and possible applications of thin films and nano-patterns of molecular spin crossover complexes. These bistable nanostructures can respond reversibly with fast response times to various external stimuli, such as temperature changes, application of an externa…

Abstract A magnetic microrheometer is used to characterize the development of viscosity at different depths in UV‐cured epoxy coatings. Lateral magnetic particle velocities are tracked at different depths to quantify viscosity gradients. In general, viscosity build‐up is faster near the coating surface, tending to pro…

We derive the instantaneous densities of electric energy and electric power dissipation in lossless and lossy dispersive media for a time-harmonic electric field. The instantaneous quantities are decomposed into DC and AC components, some of which are shown to be independent of the dispersion of dielectric constants.…

Photoelectron emission from the valence band of a metal surface due to the grazing incidence of ultrashort laser pulses is studied in the framework of a distorted-wave formulation. We propose a model, named the band-structure-based--Volkov (BSB-V) approximation, which takes into account the contribution of the band st…
