Relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals PZN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] and PMN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] continue to attract much interest due to their anomalously large piezoelectric properties (d33 > 2000 pm/V; k33 > 90%) when poled ("do ...
In this thesis various phenomena that appear if light interacts with objects having a size comparable to the wavelength are experimentally and theoretically analysed. The work is concentrated on the analysis of phase singularities in electromagnetic fields ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of screening and polarisation effects in a quantum plasma of electrons and protons, when the system is close to a dilute gas of hydrogen atoms. This atomic phase is obtained by considering a coupled low-density and low-t ...
We propose a model to determine the influence of different cell properties, such as size, membrane capacitance and cytoplasm conductivity, on the impedance spectrum as measured in a microfabricated cytometer. A dielectric sphere of equivalent complex permi ...
A numerical holographic method, which is able to determine the amplitude components of the Jones vector of a wavefront in addition to its phase and amplitude, is presented. Two reference waves, with orthogonal polarisations interfere with the transmitted o ...
Electron energy loss spectroscopy in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope has recently been used with success to characterize the electronic properties of closed cage nanometer-size graphitic particles. In the plasmon region, the experimental ...
The weak-field dielectric properties of ordered, disordered, and lead-deficient disordered Pb(Sc0.5Ta0.5)O-3 (PST) ceramics (PST-O, PST-D, and PST-DV, respectively) were investigated under various de-bias conditions. The de-bias field influences the parael ...
We present a numerical study of the tunability properties of a plasmonic subwavelength particle deposited on a metallic slab. The particle is composed of a metallic part, supporting a localized plasmon mode, separated from the slab by a dielectric spacer. ...
We study the plasmon resonances for small two-dimensional silver particles (nanowires) with elliptical or triangular shapes in the 20 nm size range. While the elliptical particle has only two resonances, a well known fact, we demonstrate that the triangula ...

The domain nucleation and growth during polarization switching in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin film capacitors with Pt top (TE) and bottom electrodes (BE) were studied by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental configuration used ...
