The ultrafast evolution of the electric field within bacteriorhodopsin was measured by monitoring the absorption changes of a tryptophan residue after excitation of retinal. The Trp absorption decreases within the first 200 femtoseconds and then recovers o ...
Plasma inhomogeneity caused by standing-wave effects in rf parallel plate reactors can be removed if one of the electrodes is replaced by a shaped electrode. The proposed shape is calculated using Maxwell's equations in vacuum. In this solution, the electr ...
The electroreduction of hydrogen on Pt(III) in acidic media is the primary fuel cell reaction. The explicit mechanism for this process involves a first order phase transition, which is due to the rotation of the water dipole as the electric field is change ...
The orientation dependence of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient, d(33)(*), is investigated as a function of temperature in BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 crystals using the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire theory. We show that a presence of the ferroelectric-ferroel ...
The present study aims at a better understanding of the high piezoelectric properties encountered in lead-based ferroelectrics by focusing on the extrinsic contributions to the response. The main characteristics of these materials are the highly nonlinear ...
We propose a definition for the dipole of an individual molecule in a molecular solid or fluid. This problem is currently dealt with by partitioning-according to some prescription-the continuous electron density of the condensed phase. Instead, here we foc ...
Experimental data characterizing indoor electric and magnetic fields radiated by power line communication (PLC) systems and used for the calculation of a local transfer function (coupling factor) are presented. It is shown that the indirect determination o ...
We use the intense, 5-ns-long, excitation pulses provided by the fourth harmonic of a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser to induce a strong high-energy shift of the photoluminescence of a 7.8-nm-wide GaN/Al0.15Ga0.85N single quantum wel ...
The pivotal role played by radial electric fields in the development of turbulence associated with anomalous transport is examined by means of global gyrokinetic simulations. It is shown that the stabilizing effect of E x B flows on ion temperature gradien ...
Transparent single crystals of the perovskite Pb(Zn-1/3,Nb-2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) were grown from different lead fluxes in sealed platinum crucibles. A temperature gradient furnace was used (temperature gradient on crucible: 30-50 degreesC). Optimization ...
