Infrared reflectance of GdBa 2 Cu (1−x)3 Ag 3xO7 ceramic superconductor with the composition of x=0.025 and 0.05 have been performed in the frequency range of 100–5000 cm−1. All the infrared active phonon modes allowed by the selection rules were observed in the reflection spectra of these compounds. The optical conductivity as calculated from K-K analysis further confirms the existence of these optical phonons. Besides the increase of the reflectivity in the silver doped samples, an extra phonon mode is observed, which is normally not seen at room temperature reflectance of GdBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 compounds. The four probe resistivity measurement show zero resistance at 88 K for x=0, and 78 K for x=0.025 in GdBa 2 Cu (1−x)3 Ag 3x O 7 compound.

The infrared reflectivity spectra for potassium-doped polycrystalline magnesium aluminates Mg[Formula: see text]K[Formula: see text]Al2O4 (x=0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1) are measured in the frequency range between 10–15, 500 cm[Formula: see text] using FTIR spectrometer at room-temperature. Four optical phonon modes are observed in measured spectra, which are fitted by Lorentz oscillator model for semiconducting behavior and Lorentz–Drude model for metallic behavior. Moreover, optical parameters are also determined for these modes which may attribute to spinel structure for samples Mg[Formula: see text]K[Formula: see text]Al2O4, their reflectivity spectra shows a typical semiconducting nature. To study ionicity and effect of polarization, Born and Szigeti effective charges are calculated from longitudinal optical and transverse optical (LO–TO) splitting of modes for all samples. Optical bandgap has been estimated through optical conductivity ([Formula: see text]([Formula: see text])) and found to be x dependent.

AbstractDespite the great promise of InSe for electronic and optoelectronic applications, Fröhlich interaction plays an important role in electrical transport due to the polar nature of it, which can become more significant in reduced dimensionality. Here, we report on how the dimensionality influences the strength and nature of the Fröhlich polaronic effect in InSe with the aid of plasmonic hot electrons injection. Polar optical phonons couple to hot electrons via the Fröhlich interaction in InSe and enable us to monitor them in conventional Raman measurements. We observed that the intensity of these phonon modes initially increases gradually with decreasing layer number and then drops drastically from 7 L to 6 L (transition from quasi-direct to indirect bandgap at room temperature). Additionally, a gradual decrease of intensity of the polar modes with further decreasing layer number is observed due to the increasing indirect bandgap nature of InSe suggesting reduced Fröhlich coupling below this thickness.

An optical study has been made of La0·7Ca0·3MnO3 and La0·8Li0·2MnO3 in the infrared spectral region (100 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1). The transmission of all samples is negligible. The photoconductive response is also unmeasurable. The data reported are therefore restricted to reflectivity measurements. At room temperature, both materials exhibit similar ‘bending’ and ‘stretching’ phonon modes, associated with the MnO6 octahedra, at ~330 and ~580 cm-1, respectively. The ‘external’ phonon mode observed at ~170 cm-1, corresponding to the (La,Ca/Li) cations beating against the MnO6 octahedra, is slightly shifted between the two materials, as would be expected on the basis of the different compositions. At elevated temperature (~600°C) the intensity of the light reflected decreases across the infrared spectrum, and the ‘stretching’ mode moves to lower energy.

The terahertz frequency range is promising for solving various practically important problems. However, for the terahertz technology development, there is still a problem with the lack of affordable and effective terahertz devices. One of the main tasks is to search for new materials with high sensitivity to terahertz radiation at room temperature. Bi1−xSbx thin films with various Sb concentrations seem to be suitable for such conditions. In this paper, the terahertz radiation influence onto the properties of thermoelectric Bi1−xSbx 200 nm films was investigated for the first time. The films were obtained by means of thermal evaporation in vacuum. They were affected by terahertz radiation at the frequency of 0.14 terahertz (THz) in the presence of thermal gradient, electric field or without these influences. The temporal dependencies of photoconductivity, temperature difference and voltage drop were measured. The obtained data demonstrate the possibility for practical use of Bi1−xSbx thin films for THz radiation detection. The results of our work promote the usage of these thermoelectric materials, as well as THz radiation detectors based on them, in various areas of modern THz photonics.

In the present work, the dielectric properties of recycled liquid crystals (LCs) (non-purified, purified, and doped with diamond nanoparticles at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 wt%) were investigated. The studied LC mixtures were obtained from industrial recycling of end-of-life LC displays presenting mainly nematic phases. Dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature on a frequency range from 0.1 to 106 Hz using an impedance analyzer. The amplitude of the oscillating voltage was fixed at 1 V using cells with homogeneous and homeotropic alignments. Results show that the dielectric anisotropy of all purified samples presents positive values and decreases after the addition of diamond nanoparticles to the LC mixtures. DC conductivity values were obtained by applying the universal law of dielectric response proposed by Jonscher. In addition, conductivity of the doped LC mixtures is lower than that of the undoped and non-purified LC.

A study of the room-temperature ionic liquid N-methyl-N-ethylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy over the frequency range 0.2 GHz ≤ ν ≤ 89 GHz has revealed that, in addition to the already known lower frequency processes, there is a broad featureless dielectric loss at higher frequencies. The latter is probably due to the translational (oscillatory) motions of the dipolar ions of the IL relative to each other, with additional contributions from their fast rotation.

Abstract Infrared absorption spectra of chalcogenide alloys of the GST system with the compositions Ge14Sb29Te57 and Ge15Sb15Te70 in the amorphous and crystalline state were measured and analyzed in the range of 20 – 400 cm– 1 (0.6 – 12 THz) at room temperature. Absorption at these frequencies is due to the manifestation of correlated torsional vibrations of structural units of the amorphous alloy and phonon modes of the crystal. The performed assignment of absorption bands and the revealed differences in the IR spectra make it possible to more confidently represent the possible molecular mechanism of reversible amorphous-crystalline transformations in the studied phase-changing materials

The impedance measurements of Li2B4O7 single crystal with Ag electrodes in the frequency range 1-3*107 Hz at room temperature have been made. The Li2B4O7 crystal (sp. gr. I41cd, Z = 8) was oriented along crystallographic axis c. Contributions from the bulk crystal and crystal / electrode boundaries in the impedance hodograph of the Ag | Li2B4O7 | Ag system were selected. The structural mechanism of lithium-ion transport in Li2B4O7 has been discussed. Based on electrophysical and structural data, the conductivity σdc = 2.3 × 10–9 S / cm, carrier mobility (vacancies VLi) μmob = 6 × 10−10 cm2 / sV and their concentration nmob = 2.4 × 1019 cm – 3 (0.14% of the amount of lithium in the crystal lattice) have been determined.

AbstractThe capacity and the dielectric loss tangent of a Gd_ x Mn_1– x Se ( x ≤ 0.2) solid solution have been measured in the frequency range 1–300 kHz without a magnetic field and in a magnetic field of 8 kOe in the temperature range 100–450 K, and the magnetic moment of the solid solution has been measured in a field of 8.6 kOe. The magnetocapacity effect and the change in the magnetocapacity sign have been observed in room temperature in the paramagnetic region. A correlation of the changes in the dielectric permittivity and the magnetic susceptibility with temperature has been revealed. The magnetocapacity is described using the model with orbital electron ordering and the Maxwell–Wagner model.
