Open AccessJahn-Teller distortion driven magnetic polarons in magnetite
The first known magnetic mineral, magnetite, has unusual properties, which have fascinated mankind for centuries; it undergoes the Verwey transition around 120 K with an abrupt change in structure and electric...

Asymmetry of collective excitations in electron- and hole-doped cuprate superconductors
High-temperature superconductivity emerges on do** holes or electrons into antiferromagnetic copper oxides. The large energy scale of magnetic excitations, for example, compared with phonon energies, is thou...

Open AccessOptical waves in a gradient negative-index lens of a half-infinite length
Materials with negative permittivity and permeability can overcome the diffraction limit, thereby making the sub-wavelength imaging possible. In this study, we analyze the effects of gradient index on a half-i...

Lipid profiling and tolerance to low-temperature stress in Thellungiella salsuginea in comparison with Arabidopsis thaliana
Changes in membrane lipid composition is a fundamental strategy for plants to resist low-temperature stress. We compared members of 11 membrane glycerolipid classes in Thellungiella salsuginea and its close relat...

On the properties and stability of thermally evaporated Ge–As–Se thin films
Thin films of Ge–As–Se chalcogenide glasses have been deposited by thermal evaporation from bulk material and submitted to thermal treatments. The linear refractive index and optical band-gap for as-deposited ...

Thermal characterization of Ge–As–Se glasses by differential scanning calorimetry
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed at different heating rates under non-isothermal conditions to probe the glass transition kinetics of several Ge–As–Se glasses with different chemical compo...

Theory for quantum state of photon pairs generated from spontaneous parametric down-conversion nonlinear process
A theory is presented for the quantum state of photon pairs generated from spontaneous parametric down-conversion nonlinear process. In this theory, the influence of the final sizes of nonlinear optical crysta...

Ultrashort Gaussian pulse-width expansion and shape deformation induced by group velocity dispersion
Pulse-width expansion and pulse-shape deformation of an ultrashort Gaussian pulse induced by both low and high order group velocity dispersion were theoretically analyzed in terms of energy conservation and co...

Growth and Characterization of PrBa2Cu3O7−x Thin Film Used as Template Layer on SrTiO3 Substrate
We have grown PrBa2Cu3O7−x (PBCO) thin films on (100) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicate that the orientation of PBCO films varied with increasing dep...
