Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects
their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by …

Photorefractive Materials presents an overview of the basic features and properties of
photorefractive materials, covering a wide array of related topics. It provides a coherent …

A new discharge cell configuration was developed which allows the joint investigation of
important volume and surface processes of the barrier discharge (BD) operation. In …

In this work, we investigate the decay of electric charge that remains after the extinction of a
barrier discharge on top of a dielectric surface. The amount of surface charge is determined …

This paper reports on the use of high-temperature X-ray diffractometry, in conjunction with
differential thermal analysis, to study the solid-state reactions and phase transformations …

We study the polarization properties of volume phase gratings induced in photorefractive
materials that are both optically active and linearly birefringent, such as Bi_12SiO_20 …

Abstract The Bi2O3–ZnO system is of interest for optimization of the electro‐ceramic
synthesis process. There are some limitations and conflictions in the experimental studies of …

An experimental investigation of the electric field in the bulk of a Bi_12SiO_20 crystal is
carried out, and a two-region model is developed that can account for the buildup of …

The photorefractive crystals of the sillenite family (Bi 12 SiO 20 or BSO, Bi 12 GeO 20 or
BGO, and Bi 12 TiO 20 or BTO) that belong to the cubic 23 point group are optically active …

12 TiO 20. The first two can be measured by simple and classical methods, but the
coexistence of optical activity, electrogyration, field-induced linear birefringence, and …
