A rotating lattice single (RLS) crystal is a unique form of solid, which was fabricated recently as one-dimensional architecture in glass via solid state transformation induced by laser irradiation.

I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Transverse and longitudinal crystal modes associated with OH stretching vibrations in single crystals of kaolinite and dickite. Spectrochimica Acta A 56: 927-930. FROST RL, KRISTÓF J, HORVÁTH E AND ...

On the basis of microscopy experiments, a tentative [NaCl] versus temperature shape/size phase diagram was constructed. To explain this unprecedented transition, we propose a novel mechanism whereby a ...

Slow light in square-lattice chalcogenide photonic-crystal (PC) holey fibers with uniform longitude geometry are proposed and theoretically investigated. By using the planewave-expansion method, a ...

In optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, high numerical aperture (NA) PCF is required for collecting back scattering light for detailed information from body tissue. In this paper, we propose a ...
