We report anelastic spectroscopy measurements of La 1-x Ca x MnO 3 performed in order to better characterize the nature of the phase transitions and microscopic lattice relaxation processes present in these materials. A peak in the imaginary part of the elastic susceptibility presents a behaviour typical of inhomogeneous and glass-like systems. We have performed a quantitative analysis calculating the temperature dependent distribution function of the energy barriers of the fluctuations characterizing this nanostructured state.

The nonlinear transport behavior during low-temperature avalanche breakdown of extrinsic germanium is associated with the self-generated formation of spatio-temporal current structures. Very close to the critical phase transition between different conducting states, the underlying physical relaxation processes develop on relatively slow macroscopic time scales in the ms range. We have evaluated the slowing down of the characteristic time constants from independent measurements of the system response behavior to external pulsed excitations.

AbstractThe comparative study of relaxation processes in amorphous hydrogenated (a- Si:H) and porous silicon (PS) by use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements is presented. Films of a-Si:H were deposited by RF glow discharge of two gas mixtures (10% SiH4+ 90% H2) and (5% SiH4 + 95% He). PS films have been prepared by electrochemical etching of 1Ω-cm (p- PS) and of 0.01Ω-cm (p+ PS) ptype Si substrates. The DSC traces were recorded during the heating of samples at a constant rate of 10°C/min from 20 to 5700C in an Ar atmosphere. All investigated samples present a low temperature exothermic effect with a maxima within 120-2800C. At higher temperatures (T>3000C) a second exothermic effect is observed for a-Si:H films prepared from both hydrogen and helium diluted silane mixtures while two endothermic effects are observed for PS samples. Analysis of the low temperature exothermic effects has been performed, and focussed on the relaxation of weak Si-Si bonds which are the features of both amorphous hydrogenated and porous silicon. It was shown that the endothermic effect connected with hydrogen effusion from PS at higher temperatures is compensated by exothermic structural rearrangement in the case of a-Si:H.

Low-temperature absorption and luminescence spectra of four organorhenium compounds were measured in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. Effects of the temperature, formal oxidation state, and the oxo-, bromo-, and organic ligands on the metal center are reported. The emission maxima of the four compounds show a large variation between 9000 and 14 200 cm−1. Stokes shifts show a smaller variation from 3700 to 4200 cm−1. Luminescence intensities are used to qualitatively characterize nonradiative relaxation processes. Key words: luminescence spectra, absorption spectra, organorhenium compounds.

Abstract The low-temperature relaxation processes in TlGa_1 – _ x Dy_ x Se_2 ( x = 0.01, 0.03) single crystals have been studied experimentally. The physical parameters which characterize the electron processes in Ag–TlGa_1 – _ x Dy_ x Se_2–Ag samples have been determined using the estafette transfer mechanism of the charge formed at deep traps due to the carrier injection from a contact: the effective mobility of the charge transferred due to deep centers, the sample contact capacity, the region of accumulation of the charge in the samples, the contact charging constant, and the flight time of charge carriers through the sample.
