One of the most frequently utilized liquid crystalline (LC) materials is a rod-like (calamitic) compound 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5-CB). The main objective of this work is to enhance its functionality by introducing a photoresponsive diazenyl...

The aim of this study is to investigate a characteristic deformation behavior of a precipitation strengthening-type Cu-Ni-Si alloy (Cu-2.4Ni-0.51Si-9.3Zn-0.15Sn-0.13Mg) by microcompression specimens. Three micropillars with a square cross-section of...

Monolithic integration of III-V semiconductor devices on Silicon (Si) has long been of great interest in photonic integrated circuits (PICs), as well as traditional integrated circuits (ICs), since it provides enormous potential benefits, including v...

We investigate the high-purity entangled photon pair generation in a recently developed borate crystal, Ba3Mg3(BO3)3F3. The technique is based on the spontaneous parametric down-conversion under the extended phase matching (EPM), where the phase matc...

The authors wish to make the following correction to the paper [...]

Alongside efficiency, long-term stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is a key factor regarding their commercialization. One suitable and cost-effective method to increase the long-term stability is to prevent leakage and evaporation of the...

In this paper, the structure and photoelectric characteristics of zincblende InxGa1−xN alloys are systematically calculated and analyzed based on the density functional theory, including the lattice constant, band structure, distribution of ele...

The specified domain patterns were written by AFM-tip voltages in LiNbO3 films composing LNOI (LiNbO3-on-insulator). The domain wall conductivity (DWC) was estimated in the written patterns. This estimate was based on the effects of load resistors RL...

During the 20th century, metal alloys have assumed an important role as restorative materials. Among existing examples, cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) alloys increasingly began to be used in medicine and especially in dentistry. Their success is...

This article focuses on the properties of the BaCeO3 thin films formed by electron-beam vapor deposition and investigates the formation of barium cerates on supports with different thermal expansion coefficients (Stainless Steel, Invar, Glass Sealing...
