Mott insulators, governed by strong correlations, exhibit exceptional nonlinear optics. Guided by first-principles, ...

Copper-oxide (CuO 2) superconductors, such as Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi2212), have unusually high critical temperatures.

The material the team studied, barium titanium sulfide (BaTiS 3), a hexagonal crystal, was already known to have large optical anisotropy, but scientists couldn't figure out why. It took years of back ...

Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing ...

Superconductors are materials which conduct electricity without any resistance when cooled down below a critical temperature. These materials have transformative applications in various fields, ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...

Nonlinear optical crystals are at the forefront of advanced photonic technologies, enabling efficient frequency conversion and modulation of light by utilising intense electric fields to alter their ...

Nanoscale maze-like magnetic patterns form reliably across strained substrates, removing a key bottleneck for faster, more efficient data-center optical links. (Nanowerk News) A collaborative team has ...

Anisotropic nanoparticles are nanoparticles that possess different properties along different axes. Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic ...
