Optical devices based on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) thin films derive their
functional properties from the electric-field-induced reorientation of (sub) micrometer-sized …

Among the various methods to produce three-dimensional (3D) images, holography
occupies a special niche. Indeed, holograms provide highly realistic 3D images with a large …

The electronic and nonlinear optical properties of first row transition metals (TM)-doped bowl-
shaped B 36 nanosheet were explored using DFT calculations. The transition metals (Sc, Ti …

The photorefractive properties of triphenylamine polymer-based composites with various
composition ratios were investigated via optical diffraction, response time, asymmetric …

A multifunctional hybrid photorefractive nanocomposite has been developed (see Figure); it
consists of a carbazole-based photoconducting matrix, a nonlinear chromophore, and …

In this work, we investigated the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of excess electron
electride molecules of M [Cu (Ag)@(NH3) n](M= Be, Mg and Ca; n= 1–3) using density …

Reaction of an azobenzene-linked biscatecholate ligand with boron and titanium sources
gave ring-and cage-shaped complexes in a self-assembly fashion, respectively. These …

The second-order nonlinear optical properties of ionic liquids formed by [EMIM]+,[BMIM]+,[
MePyrr]+, and [BuPy]+ cations in conjunction with four anions,[BF 4]−,[NO 3]−,[CF 3 COO] …

The photorefractive effect in photoconductive ferroelectric liquid crystals that contain
photoconductive chiral compounds was investigated. Terthiophene compounds with chiral …

A hyper-structured molecule (HSM) CRA-DR1 and a model molecule Ph-DR1 for
