Modern approaches to increasing the efficiency of solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on
electrolytic membranes with mixed conductivity are considered. These approaches are …

Polymer dielectric capacitors are widely utilized in pulse power devices owing to their high
power density. Because of the low dielectric constants of pure polymers, inorganic fillers are …

The action of complex arrangements of matter on electromagnetic waves lies at the heart of
this book. Herein, we generally regard matter from a macroscopic perspective, which means …

We review the recent progress in the quantitative understanding of light absorption by
colloidal semiconductor quantum dots within the framework of the Maxwell-Garnett (MG) …

Granular materials as typical soft matter, their transport properties play significant roles in
durability and service life in relevant practical engineering structures. Physico-mechanical …

Ligand exchange is a much-used method to increase the conductivity of colloidal quantum-
dot films by replacing long insulating ligands on quantum-dot surfaces with shorter ones …

A “dipole” laser is proposed consisting of a nanoparticle and a two-level system with
population inversion. If the threshold conditions are fulfilled, the dipole interaction between …

The extinction efficiencies as well as the scattering properties of particles of different porosity
are studied. Calculations are performed for porous pseudospheres with small size …

In the last few years Cassini–VIMS, the Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, returned
to us a comprehensive view of the Saturn's icy satellites and rings. After having analyzed the …

ABSTRACT A large time series of 42 dual–polarimetric co–polarized TerraSAR-X (TSX)
StripMap Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements are exploited to monitor a well …
