Simplified vibrational densities of states for five different carbonates are constructed using measured IR and Raman spectra. From the spectroscopic models we calculate thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties of magnesite, calcite, aragonite, dolomite, ...
We engineer a semiconductor microcavity through an appropriate choice of geometry and materials in order to maximise the exciton-photon coupling. The polaritonic nonlinearities in such devices survive at high temperatures and high excitation densities. We ...
Stimulated Brillouin scattering in silica-based optical fibers may be considered from two different and complementary standpoints. For a physicist, this interaction of light and pressure wave in a material, or equivalently in quantum theory terms between p ...
The Raman spectrum of calcium aluminate (CaAl2O4) glass has been obtained as a function of pressure at ambient temperature to similar to 15 GPa, and as a function of temperature at room pressure to 1650 K. On increasing pressure at 300 K, the Raman spectru ...
The effect of pressure (up to 21 GPa at room temperature) and temperature (up to 1570 K at room pressure) on the Raman spectrum of CaTiO3 is presented. No significant changes, which could be attributed to a major structural change, are observed in the spec ...
The lifetimes of nonfixed holograms in LiNbO3:Fe crystals with doping levels of 0.05, 0.138, and 0.25 wt % Fe2O3 have been measured in the temperature range from 30 to 180 °C. The time constants of the dark decay of holograms stored in crystals with doping ...
Plasma treatment of PET films was carried out under argon, followed by exposure to an oxygen atmosphere. The films underwent considerable changes in surface composition and morphology, as demonstrated by contact angle measurements, FTIR-ATR, AFM, and XPS. ...
Remote sensing analysis of common mafic silicates on bodies like asteroid 433 Eros may be in error unless temperature effects are considered. In this paper, spectral sensitivity to temperature as a function of wavelength from 0.4 to 2.5 microns is quantifi ...
We have measured in situ Raman spectra of SiO2 glass between room temperature through the glass transformation range to the supercooled liquid at 1950 K, using a new wire loop heating technique. These results provide valuable insights into the structural a ...
The infrared reflectance of the transition-metal chalcogenide 1T-TaS2 has been measured at temperatures from 30 K to 360 K over 30-45 000 cm(-1) (4 meV-5.5 eV). The optical conductivity was obtained by Kramers-Kronig analysis. At 360 K only modest traces o ...
