We have performed simultaneous measurements of magnetic neutron diffraction, ferroelectric D – E hysteresis loops and permittivity along the b - and a -axes of multiferroic TmMn 2 O 5 down to 2.5 K. It was confirmed that the permittivity peak coincides with an increase in both the polarization along the b -axis and a…

Thermal properties of polypyrrole–polymethylmethacrylate (PPy–PMMA) composites are analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A decrease in the glass transition temperature Tg with the PPy concentration content reveals the increase of segmental motion. The ac conductivity of these composites is studied in fr…

We propose a mechanism for the quenching of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and the quantum Hall effect observed in epitaxial graphene. Experimental data show that the scattering time of the conduction electron is magnetic field dependent and of the order of the cyclotron orbit period, i.e., it can be much smaller…

Suspensions of rod-like colloids show in equilibrium an isotropic–nematic coexistence region, which depends on the strength of an attractive interaction between the rods. We study the behavior of this system in shear flow for various interaction strengths. A hybrid simulation approach is employed, which consists of a…

We study the process of phase separation of colloid polymer mixtures in the (spinodal) two-phase region of the phase diagram in shear flow. We use a counter-rotating shear cell and image the system by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The system is quenched from an initially almost homogeneous state at very…

We have experimentally realized a two-dimensional partial focusing within a planar waveguide using complementary indefinite metamaterials. When the electric fields emitted from the dipole are TE polarized, the focusing condition requires negative magnetic response in the propagation direction of the waveguide, which c…
