Overview and Scope. THz radiation, with frequencies in the range of 0.1 À20 THz, can probe
physical phenomena such as low-energy excitations and carrier dynamics in electronic …

Featured Application Z-cut quartz is confirmed as a suitable reference material for
measurements of complex permittivity at terahertz and microwave frequencies, and data …

An overview of the optical effects in solids, addressing the physics of various materials and
their response to electromagnetic radiation. The discussion includes metals …

Past two years have seen the rapid emergence of a new class of solar cell based on mixed
organic–inorganic halide perovskites. The optical and optical frequency dielectric properties …

Die Chemie und Physik der Grenzflächen und Kolloide gehört klassisch in das Gebiet der
Festkörperphysik einerseits und der Thermodynamik andererseits. Erst seit Ende der 1990er …

The implications of causality are captured by the Kramers–Kronig relations between the real
and imaginary parts of a linear response function. In 1937, Bode derived a similar relation …

Kramers-Kronig analysis is commonly used to estimate the optical properties of new
materials. The analysis typically uses data from far infrared through near ultraviolet (say 40 …

This paper explores different phenomena that cause distortions of infrared absorption
spectra by mixing of reflective and absorptive band shape components of infrared spectra …

We report optical, excited-state lifetime, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of nickel
oxide (NiO)/poly vinylalcohol (PVA) polymer free-standing films for opto-electronics and …

Recent developments in optical metrology have tremendously improved the precision and
accuracy of the horizontal (frequency) axis in measured spectra. However, the vertical …
