The emission properties of a new phosphor based on LiTaO3:Tb3+ are described. It is shown to be a storage phosphor, i.e., after previous x-ray exposure, Tb3+ emission in green-red region of spectrum can be photostimulated by light in 400–800 nm spectral range. Emission centers (Tb3+ ions), electron storage centers (ox…

Drops of molten silicon surrounded by a SiO2–BaO–CaO flux were undercooled at 350 K below their melting temperature. This undercooling is 75 K greater than the largest one reported so far for bulk silicon. To account for this result as well as the nucleation data from laser-melted thin films, classical nucleation theo…

It is shown that the low frequency collective modes of quasilinear polymers can contribute to the vibrational polarizability and hyperpolarizability despite the fact that their infrared or Raman intensity vanishes in the infinite chain limit. The most significant of these modes are characterized and the dynamic vibrat…

We report temperature-dependent redistribution of spectral weight in photoemission spectra of ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.6}$${\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.4}$${\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ over a wide energy range of several eV. We attribute this to a change in the electron correlation strength induced by the changing degree of ferromagnetic order w…

In this study we present photoemission data for three different types of amorphous carbon modifications (a-C:H, ta-C:H, and ta-C) that owe their properties to their different preparations by radio frequency plasma, plasma beam, or arc discharge. Their properties are investigated by means of their characteristic plasmo…

Using synchrotron radiation, we have performed a high-resolution X-ray diffraction study of a phase transition between the incommensurate phase and the commensurate phase characterized by the wave vector q =3 c * /7 in [N(CH 3 ) 4 ] 2 MnCl 4 under pressure. The pressure dependence of the wave vector q exhibits an “inc…

The optical absorptions of anodically etched p+ and n+ porous silicon (PS) films were investigated by photothermal deflection spectroscopy. Si–H stretching overtones and combination bands of Si–F and Si–H were observed. The defect model in hydrogenated amorphous silicon was used to explain the Urbach edge and the subg…

In the literature a relation is often used that correlates Debye temperature and bulk modulus by a square-root law. It was recently shown that, for different cubic crystal structures, such a law is only fulfilled within relatively large error limits. If one takes, however, the average of the elastic constants of the t…

A wet thermal oxidation method is proposed to passivate the electrochemically etched porous silicon. Bright and stable photoluminescence is achieved by wet oxidation at relatively low temperatures of 400–500 °C. The Fourier transform infrared absorption shows that the formation of SiH(O3), SiH(SiO2), SiH2(O2) bonds ma…

The aging characteristics of the electrostrictive lead magnesium niobate–lead titanate [(1−x)PMN–xPT] under dc bias field were investigated. It was observed that the amount of aging increases with the PT content for the compositions investigated (x≤0.3). For a fixed composition, the aging rate rises with temperature.…

A Kohn-Sham (KS) scheme for solids treating exchange exactly is introduced. The scheme emerges from a recently introduced exact formal KS procedure [A. G\"orling and M. Levy, Phys. Rev. A 50, 196 (1994)]. The exact density-functional exchange potential is obtained in terms of its Fourier components. The method can eas…
