We report measurements of the temperature dependence of the optical reflectivity, i.e., the thermoreflectance dR/dT, of 18 metallic elements at two laser wavelengths commonly used in ultrafast pump-probe experiments, 1.55 μm and 785 nm. The thermoreflectance is determined using time-domain thermoreflectance combined w…

We demonstrate white light luminescence from ZnO-organic hybrid light emitting diodes grown at 90 °C on flexible plastic substrate by aqueous chemical growth. The configuration used for the ZnO-organic hybrid white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) consists of a layer of poly (9, 9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) on poly (3, 4-eth…

We study a series array of nonlinear electrical circuit elements that possess negative differential resistance and find that heterogeneity in the element properties leads to the presence of multiple branches in current–voltage curves and a nonuniform distribution of voltages across the elements. An inhomogeneity param…

In purely c-axis oriented PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 ferroelectric thin films, a lateral piezoresponse force microscopy signal is observed at the position of 180° domain walls, where the out-of-plane oriented polarization is reversed. Using electric force microscopy measurements we exclude electrostatic effects as the origin of t…

Quantum molecular dynamic (QMD) simulations are introduced to study the thermophysical properties of liquid deuterium under shock compression. The principal Hugoniot is determined from the equation of states, where contributions from molecular dissociation and atomic ionization are also added onto the QMD data. At pre…

The size effect on pyroelectric response of ferroelectric nanowires is analyzed. The pyroelectric coefficient strongly increases with the wire radius decrease and diverges at critical radius Rcr corresponding to the size-driven transition into paraelectric phase. Size-driven enhancement of pyroelectric coupling leads…

We deduce a macroscopic strain gradient theory for plasticity from a model of discrete dislocations. We restrict our analysis to the case of a cylindrical symmetry for the crystal under study, so that the mathematical formulation will involve a two-dimensional variational problem. The dislocations are introduced as po…

We study a general problem how the gap in a nonmagnetic band insulator closes by tuning a parameter. We review our recent results on the classification of all the possible gap closing in two and three dimensions. We show that they accompany the change of Z_2 topological numbers, and that the gap closings correspond to…

We investigate the spin relaxation limited by the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism in $n$-type (111) GaAs quantum wells, by means of the kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. In (111) GaAs quantum wells, the in-plane effective magnetic field from the D'yakonov-Perel' term can be suppressed to zero on a special momentum circ…

Recently, distinctive quantum features have been studied in the area of ridged quantum wells (RQWs). Periodic ridges on the surface of the quantum well layer impose additional boundary conditions on the electron wave function and reduce the quantum state density. Electrons, rejected from forbidden quantum states, have…

Upconversion (UC) of subband-gap photons is a promising possibility to enhance solar cell efficiency by making also the subband-gap photons useful. For this application, we investigate the material system of trivalent erbium doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:20%Er3+), which shows efficient UC suitable for silicon s…

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films of ∼100 nm thickness with various Al doping were prepared at 150 °C by atomic layer deposition on quartz substrates. At low Al doping, the films were strongly textured along the [100] direction, while at higher Al doping the films remained amorphous. Atomic force microscopy results showed that…

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon directly linked to the quantum statistics of bosons. While cold atomic gases provide a new arena for exploring the nature of BEC, a long-term quest to confirm BEC of excitons, quasi-Bose particles formed as a bound state of an electron-hole pair, has…
