The impact of chemical ordering on the dielectric properties of the thin film relaxor Pb(Sc1∕2Ta1∕2)O3 (PST) was investigated. It was found that the dielectric permittivity increased with increased B site order, directly opposite the behavior observed in ceramics. Highly ordered PST thin films on sapphire substrates w…

The line emissions of OH*, Na, Na-Ar*, and Ar are observed in stable and bright single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL), which shows that the composition of the bubble consists of at least three parts: the vapor, droplets of the host liquid, and the gas dissolved in the host liquid. The observation of line emissions in…
