Electronic Structure of Rare Earth Oxides
The electronic structures of dioxides, REO2, and sesquioxides, RE2O3, of the rare earths, RE=Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy and Ho, are... -
Requirements of Precursors for MOCVDand ALD of Rare Earth Oxides
This Chapter gives an account of the coordination chemistry of precursors for MOCVD and ALD of rare earth oxides. It opens with a brief introduction... -
Combinatorial Optimization and the Physics of Disordered Systems
The purpose of this chapter of this monograph is to confront the reader with a number of optimization algorithms that are exact and polynomial in... -
Ergodicity, Replica Symmetry, Spin Glass and Quantum Phase Transition
This pedagogical lecture note is aimed at a tutorial introduction to the essential concepts of spin glass with a focus on quantum spin glass in order... -
Decoherence and Quantum Couplings in a Noisy Environment
In this chapter, I will review the established theory of quantum systems coupled to noisy condensed-phase environments, emphasising the central role... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Rare Earth Scandate Thin Films Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition
The continuous structure size reduction in semiconductor technology is leading to a considerable attention for advanced high-κ dielectrics. The rare... -
Finding Exponential Product Formulas of Higher Orders
In the present article, we review the progress in the last two decades of the work on the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition, or the exponential product... -
Exploring Complex Landscapes with Classical Monte Carlo
Nowadays, the annealing concept is useful in (at least) two different fields, namely Physics and Optimization. The annealing strategy was well known... -
Quantum Spin Glasses
In this chapter of this monograph we want to provide an overview on the current status of our knowledge on the theory of quantum spin glasses. Spin... -
Monolithic Silicon Light Sources
Monolithic silicon light sources (LEDs and lasers) could have a significant impact when integrated on silicon chips. After a general introduction to... -
Monolithic Silicon Microphotonics
The technology evolution of optical interconnection is driven by the distance × product required for a given link. As such optical fiber deployment... -
Silicon Fundamentals for Photonics Applications
The many and diverse approaches to materials science problems have greatly enhanced our ability to engineer the physical properties of... -
Results for Sr2RuO4
In this chapter, we focus on our results for the elementary excitations and Cooper pairing in strontium ruthenate (... -
Survey of Current Theoretical Schemes
With a view to the growing interest in heavy-ion stop**, theoretical schemes have been developed over the past few years aiming at calculating... -
Statistics of Particle Penetration
The importance of statistical considerations in the physics of particle penetration has been emphasized in particular by Bohr (1948). An extensive... -
The 3DXRD Microscope
The 3DXRD microscope at ESRF is installed in a separate laboratory, the second experimental hutch at beamline ID11 [1,2]. The beamline is an... -
Multigrain Crystallography
Traditionally, x-ray crystallography is based on either powder diffraction data or single-crystal studies. Both methods have their distinct... -
Methods and Instrumentation
On the basis of the given brilliances of present-day synchrotron radiation sources one easily estimates that they should be ideally suited for... -
Infrared Model Dielectric Functions
This chapter reviews a selection of dielectric function models progressed for lineshape analysis of (far) infrared ellipsometry data. Contributions... -
Combining 3DXRD and Absorption Contrast Tomography
The 3DXRD setup sketched in Fig. 3.1 is very similar to the setup typically used for absorption contrast x-ray tomography at synchrotrons....
