The dielectric response has been studied in 10-mm-thick, single-crystal potassium tantalate films formed by crystal ion slicing. Scanning microwave microscopy shows that the implanted, pre-etched samples exhibit a bulk-like permittivity and low-loss tangent ~0.0009! at 1.7 GHz. The separated free-standing films have somewhat higher loss tangents due to residual-ion-induced stress. Selective rel...

Flexible inorganic electronic devices promise numerous applications, especially in fields that could not be covered satisfactorily by conventional rigid devices. Benefits on a similar scale are also foreseeable for silicon photonic components. However, the difficulty in transferring intricate silicon photonic devices has deterred widespread development. In this paper, we demonstrate a flexible ...

Introduction: The position estimation in gamma detection system will have constant misplacements which can be corrected in the calibration procedure. In the pixelated crystal uniformly irradiation of detector will produce irregular shape due to position estimation errors. This image is called flood field image and is used to calibrate the position estimation. In this work we pr...

The realization of efficient optical interfaces for nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond is an important problem in quantum science with potential applications in quantum communications and quantum information processing. We describe and demonstrate two techniques for fabricating one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities in single-crystal diamond, using (1) a combination of reactive ion etching ...

We report thermo-mechanically responsive and thermochromic behavior in the single crystalline organic semiconductor butoxyphenyl N-substituted naphthalene diimide (BNDI). We show that initially monoclinic single crystals of BNDI undergo a single-crystal to single-crystal transition to a triclinic phase. This transition accompanies large changes in the crystal packing, a visible decrease in crys...

Hydrothermal synthetic were studied for the preparation of coordination polymeric material basedon Ag (I) and 4, 4"-bipy. A polymeric compound [Ag (4, 4'-bipy)].NO3. (I), was prepared andstructurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1(91% yield) was isolatedfrom the reaction of AgNO3 with 4, 41bipy in 2:1 molar ratio. In compound I. each silver (I) islinked to two nit...

We study the mechanism of vacancy migration and phase transitions of 3D crystalline colloidal arrays (CCA) using Langevin dynamics simulations. We calculate the self-diffusion coefficient of the colloid particles and the diffusion constant for vacancies as a function of temperature and DLVO potential parameters. We investigate the phase behavior of several systems with different interaction pot...

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound (phen)Pb(02CMe) is described. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 /c, a = 7.823(3), b = 12.421(4), c = 9.262(2) ?, ? = 79.92(3)", Z = 4, yielding R 0.048 for 3210 independent reflections. The coordination number around the lead atom is six. [Pb-N 2.54(2), 2.56(4)],[Pb-0, 2.19-2.22]

Abstract: fabricated. Modifications carried out in different parts of the old system in order to control mostof the growth parameters with more accuracy. The fabricated system was used to grow sapphiresingle crystals with almost 10 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length. The crystallinity andstructure of the grown crystals were characterized by computer aided single crystal X-raydiffraction techniq...
