Optical spectra of CsI,CsBr, ZuGeP2, and SbSI

We report here the study of the normal reflectivity spectra R and the corresponding derivative spectra (1/R) dR/dE of SbSI between 2 and 6 eV. The spectra show very strong anisotropy. We have also tried to use the change of the wavelength modulation spectrum to monitor the change in the band structure of SbSI due to the phase transition at 292 °C (D_2h¹⁶→C_2v⁹). Careful examination of the spectra at various temperatures around T_c shows no observable change. We report also the wavelength-modulated reflectivity spectra of the chalcopyrite crystal ZnGeP₂ at 5 K between 2 and 6 eV, for E∥ C and E⊥ C. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical band structure calculation by de Alvarez and Cohen. We also present measurements on CsBr, CsI in the vacuum uv (between 5 and 8 eV) at 1.8K, showing noticeable difference with previous reflectivity measurements at 77 K.     

Optical spectra and energy band structure of AgAsS2 crystals

Ground and excited states of three exciton series are observed in the region of fundamental absorption edge of AgAsS₂ crystals. The contours of exciton reflection spectra are calculated and the main parameters of excitons and energy bands are determined in the center of Brillouin zone. The optical reflection spectra are investigated at 30 K in E∥c and E⊥c polarizations in AgAsS₂ crystals in the region of 2-6 eV. The optical functions are calculated from the reflection spectra and a scheme of electronic transitions responsible for peculiarities of reflection spectra deep into the absorption band is proposed.     

Stress-induced optical dichroism of V−-centers in MgO

The stress-induced optical dichroism and optical absorption spectra of the V^?-centers in electron irradiated MgO are reported. The dichroism spectrum can be largely attributed to a paraelastic alignment of inherently-dichroic V^?-centers. A curve-fit analysis of the lower-energy portions of the dichroism and absorption spectra yields the ratio of the transition dipole strengths, $\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{\parallel }}\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{\perp }}\text{= 1.55 ± 0.2}$, and the energy splitting, E_∥ ? E_⊥ = 0.22 ± 0.07 eV, for light polarized parallel (∥) and perpendicular (⊥) to the defect symmetry axis. The spectra also have considerable intensity in their high-energy tails, and it is speculated that a portion of this intensity is due to the V-center. The implications of the results with regard to the electronic structure of the center are discussed.     

Effect of the spin-orbit interaction of Ni2+ ions with a triplet orbital ground state on the magnetostriction of NiFe0.5Cr1.5O4 ferrite

The magnetization σ and the longitudinal (λ_∥) and transverse (λ_⊥) magnetostrictions of the NiFe_0.5Cr_1.5O₄ ferrite containing the tetrahedral ions Ni²⁺ with the triplet orbital ground state have been investigated for the first time at a temperature of 4.2 K in fields up to 55 kOe. It is revealed that the NiFe_0.5Cr_1.5O₄ ferrite exhibits an anomalously large magnetic anisotropy (H _c=12.5 kOe) and magnetostrictions (λ_∥≈?870×10^?6 and λ_⊥≈800×10^?6). In strong fields, the magnetostrictions λ_∥ and λ_⊥ are found to be anisotropic in character; i.e., the susceptibility Δλ_∥p and Δλ_⊥p. The conclusion is drawn that the studied compound is characterized by two paraprocesses: one paraprocess in the B sublattice has an exchange nature, and the second process in the A sublattice is due to the spin-orbit interaction of Ni _A ²⁺ ions.     

On anomalies of anisotropic thermal expansion near points of electronic topological transitions in noncubic metals. Applications to Zn,Cd and CdMg alloys

Singularities of the low-temperature coefficients of the thermal expansion, α_i(T), near points of electronic topological transitions (ETT) in noncubic metals are investigated. Using a uniaxial metal with a weak pseudopotential of the electron-ion interaction as an example, it is shown that the longitudinal α_∥ and transverse α_⊥ coefficients should be opposite in sign near the ETT point, while the ∥α_i∥ values can considerably exceed the volume coefficient β=α_∥ + 2α_⊥. These conclusions are illustrated by ab initio band structure calculations for the hcp Zn, Cd and CdMg alloys. The results explain the scale and sign of the α_i low-temperature anomalies in Zn and Cd (α_∥ > 0, α_⊥ < 0>). For the Cd_1-xMg_x alloys the anomaly inversion (α_∥ < 0, α_⊥ > 0) is predicted after the first ETT at the point x=x_c1≈0.06, as well as its sharp growth (the ∥α_i∥ increase) after the second ETT at x_c2≈0.12.     

Magnetization process and principal magnetic susceptibilities in RbMnF3

The temperature dependence of χ_⊥, initialχ_p (powder), and evaluated χ_∥ for RbMnF₃ are reported for the temperature range of 4.2–106 K. A shallow minimum at $\text{T}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{N}}\text{? 0.72}$ is observed in χ_⊥. The field dependence of the magnetization shows a smooth rotation of the spins to a normal direction above H_c ? 2.43 kOe at 4.2 K.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectra of 2H-NbSe2

Angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been made on the metallic layer compound 2H-NbSe₂.

Infrared and Raman spectra of GeSe2

Far infrared room temperature reflectivity spectra have been measured with polarized light for single crystal GeSe₂ in the range 40–400 cm^-1 for all three principal directions. Altogether 15 “Reststrahlen” peaks were observed, seven for E∥a, six for E∥b and only two for E∥c. Optical parameters were calculated using both Kramers-Krönig integration and a fitting procedure. A nonpolarized Raman spectrum of GeSe₂ was also measured. 17 Raman active lines were observed. The strongest one was at 213cm^-1.     

Effects of anisotropy,order parameter,and viscosity on translational self-diffusion in nematic liquid crystals

A theory developed for the translational diffusion in nematic liquids crystals shows a dependence on the viscosities, order parameter, and molecular structure. Theoretical results for self-diffusion in p-azoxyanisole at 125°C are D^{∥ = 4.3 × 10?6, D⊥ = 3.1 × 10?6 c2/s}, andD^∥/D^⊥ = 1.4.     

Fundamental optical properties of α-RuCl3

The fundamental optical properties in the paramagnetic phase of α-RuCl₃ are studied at different temperatures in the photon energy interval 0.03 to 10 eV. Infrared reflectivity spectra show a transverse optical frequency at 0.038 eV (32 μm) for an E_u mode (E⊥c, in plane atomic displacements). The absorption spectra in the energy range 0.2 to 1 eV reveal three bands (0.29, 0.51, 0.71 eV) attributed to d-d electronic transitions. Reflectance and thermo-reflectance measurements indicate the onset of the charge-transfer transitions at 1.1 eV and show structure at 1.85, 2.55, 3.05, 4.5 eV. The marked reflectivity peak at 5.2 eV is probably related to p(Cl) → s(Ru) band-to-band transitions.     

Far infrared optical properties of proustite (Ag3AsS3)

The infrared reflection and transmission spectra of Ag₃AsS₃ single crystals have been between 20 and 650 cm^-1 at room temperature. Fourteen phonon modes were observable in reflectivity with the dominant restrahlen bands occuring at 360 cm^-1 and 35 cm^-1 for E? c and at 335 cm^-1 and 35 cm^-1 for E⊥ c. These measurements indicate that generation of far infrared radiation by mixing of two laser frequencies using proustite as the down-conversion crystal is not possible.     

Nonasymptotic critical 3D-XY behavior for the nematic-smectic-A 1 liquid crystal transition

High-resolution X-ray data near the nematic (N)-smectic-A ₁ (SmA ₁) transition are reported for two polar liquid-crystal systems with large nematic ranges. The correlation volume ξ_∥ ξ _⊥ ² , the smectic order-parameter susceptibility σ, and the heat capacityC _p of these systems and two other N-SmA ₁ systems are in excellent agreement with exact theoreticalpreasymptotic 3D-XY predictions. The importance of correction terms for ξ_∥ ξ _⊥ ² and σ as well asC _p is demonstrated. Universal features of the 3D-XY model are obeyed except for anisotropy in the correlation lengths ξ_∥ and ξ_⊥.     

Electronic structure and optical properties of boron-sulfur symmetric codoping in 4 × 4 graphene systems

The electronic structure and optical properties of boron-doped, sulfur-doped, andboron-sulfur-codoped graphene systems have been studied by using first-principlescalculations. Energy band structure and density of states are presented to describe theelectronic properties. The doping can open the band gap and change the optical propertiesof graphene. For all optical properties of doped graphene systems, parallel(E _∥) polarization and perpendicular(E _⊥) polarization are presented. Theoptical properties under two kinds of polarizations are reflected in the range of peakheight and the change of some extraordinary features.     

Ionic conductivity and NMR relaxation study on Li3N single crystal

Both ionic conductivity and ⁷Li NMR relaxation time T₂ were studied on Li₃N single crystal samples containing an oxygen impurity. Owing to the O impurity, the samples showed a high ionic conductivity (σ⊥ = 0.83 S m^?1 and σ_∥= 0.013 S m^?1 at 300 K) and a low activation energy (E_a,⊥ = 0.19 eV and E_a,∥ = 0.24 eV). The intrinsic conduction accompanying vacancy generation within the Li₂N layer was observed in the high temperature region. In the extrinsic region only a motion of the Li ion located in the Li₂N layer is responsible for both σ_⊥ and σ_∥. The site exchange motion of two kinds of Li ion has little importance to the ionic conduction.     

Gleichzeitige Messung von Hyperfeinstruktur,Starkeffekt und Zeemaneffekt des85Rb19F mit einer Molekülstrahl-Resonanzapparatur

A molecular beam resonance apparatus with electric quadrupole lenses asA- andB-fields and with superimposed parallel electric and magnetic transition-fields was used. Molecules in different rotational statesJ, m _J are separated by theA-field. Spectra of molecules in different vibrational states are resolved by their different Starkeffect energies. By this means the following electric and magnetic properties of the molecule could be measured in the rotational stateJ=1 and vibrational statesv=0 and 1: The magnetic and electric dipole moment of the molecule, the scalar and the tensor nuclear dipole — dipole interactiond _s andd _T, the nuclear spinrotational interactionc _F andc _Rb, the nuclear quadrupole interactioneqQ, the nuclear magnetic moment μ_Rb, the anisotropy of the diamagnetic susceptibility ξ_⊥?ξ_∥, the anisotropy of the diamagnetic shielding of the external field by the electrons at the position of the nuclei σ_⊥?σ_∥. Using these quantities it was possible to calculate the quadrupole moment and a weighted quadrupole moment of the electronic charge distribution. The results are: (J=1,v=0) μ_el=8,5464 (17) debμ _J/J=?29,79(2)x10^?6 μ _B d _s/h=0,36(23) kHzd _T/h=0,69(22)kHzc _F/h=10,42(70) kHzc _Rb/h=0,479 (48) kHz.eqQ _Rb/h=?70,3410(26) MHzμ(1?σ_S)Rb=1,3474(5) μ_k (ξ⊥-ξ _∥)=12(6)×10^?30 erg/Gauß² (σ_⊥-σ∥)_Rb=?3,8(2,1)×10^?4 (σ⊥-σ _∥)_F=?2,6(3)×10^?4

Supertransferred hyperfine structure in EPR of V4+ ion in Ca3In2Ge3O12 garnet

Interaction of an unpaired electron of the tetrahedral V⁴⁺ ion in Ca₃In₂Ge₃O₁₂ garnet with the four nearest In nuclei gives rise to clearly resolved structure of EPR spectra. We report the observation and analysis of these spectra at three frequencies and at temperature 77 K. The temperature dependence between liquid helium and the room temperatures was also studied. Parameters of the spin Hamiltonian are g_∥=1·8735; g_⊥=1·9825; ∣ ¦A∥|=150·4×10^?4cm^?1; ¦ A_⊥¦ = 36·7 × 10^?4 cm^?1. The supertransferred hyperfine interaction was found to be isotropic, absolute value of the corresponding parameter a is 22·1 × 10^?4 cm^?1.     

X-ray determination of the mean-square vibrational amplitudes of atoms in nearly perfect CdS crystals

The mean-square amplitudes of Cd and S atoms in CdS were determined for vibrations parallel as well as perpendicular to the c-axis. The results were obtained by measuring the temperature dependence of X-ray integrated intensities for reflections from both basal and prismatic planes in nearly perfect crystals. The analysis of the experimental data is given in detail. The following results were found for T = 295°K: 〈u²_Cd〉_∥ = 2.85±0.04×10^?18cm², 〈u²_s〉_∥ = 1.94 ± 0.08 × 10^?18cm², 〈u²_Cd〉_⊥= 2.39 ± 0.04 × 10^?18cm² and 〈u²_s〉⊥ = 1.63 ± 0.08 × 10^?18cm². The fact that Cd atoms have a larger vibrational amplitude than the S atoms is briefly discussed.
