In the present work the observation of the photorefractive effect in a cell filled with nematic liquid crystal under electric-field application is reported. Photorefraction is caused by formation of a spatial inhomogeneous charge distribution due to the Helfrich-Carr effect in the absence of light-excited charge carri…

Using a Lorentz-Drude model, we determine optical constants in the range from 300 to 1000 nm for CdIn(2)O(4) thin films deposited by rf reactive sputtering from the measurement of transmission and reflection. We discuss the effect of deposition conditions including substrate temperature and oxygen concentration in a r…

Nylon-6 chain extension by means of reactive processing in the presence of triphenyl phosphite (TPP) was investigated using an internal mixer coupled with a torque sensor. The molecular weight was dependent on TPP concentration, processing time, polymer drying conditions, rotational speed and processing temperature. T…

Linear 2,3-di-n-alkoxy-azapolycyclic arenes are shown to act as potent gelators for a variety of organic liquids. This outstanding property is restricted to molecules that have no nitrogen atoms on the 1,4 positions. The readily accessible 5,12-diazatetracenes form thermoreversible gels which do not involve hydrogen b…

Single phase, c -axis oriented thin films of Y-type magnetoplumbite (Ba 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 ; Co 2 Y) with a very large c -axis length as 43.5 Å were grown successfully by pulsed laser deposition technique. The key points were high temperature deposition and the use of CoO buffer layer inserted between the film and MgAl…

A new concept of a composite dielectric thin film fabrication is presented. The fabrication process consists of two stages. The first stage is anodizing a thin aluminum film to produce a porous alumina film that contains an array of nanometer sized parallel pores. The second stage is filling the pores with a saturated…

On the basis of dielectric investigations of (NH3C2H5)2CuCl4 crystals the existence of phase transitions at T1 = 364 K and T2 = 356 K (in a heating run) was confirmed. In the temperature region of 300–370 K Debye relaxation was observed. The change of the dielectric dispersion character around T3 = 330 K is related to…

Dielectric and ferroelectric properties in systems of permanent and induced dipoles are calculated with a Monte Carlo method, the importance-sampling method. The systems are dipole chains and dipole planes, which can be looked at as subsystems of a perovskite structure. Depending on the system and the parameters we fi…
