It is increasingly being recognized that new applications for materials require functions and
properties that are not achievable with monolithic materials. The combination of dissimilar …

We review experimental and theoretical works devoted to electron and photon emission
from island metal films (IMFs) representing ensembles of small metal particles deposited …

A novel capacitor devicewith a high, frequency‐independent dielectric constant has been
fabricated by a simple powder processing route. A mixture of microparticles of ferroelectric …

The drive toward smaller and smaller electronic componentry has huge implications for the
materials currently being used. As quantum mechanical effects begin to dominate …

The infrared complex permittivity functions of three varieties of maghemite, γ-Fe 2 O 3,
having different degrees of vacancy ordering, have been determined from their IR …

Bi Fe O 3 ceramics were investigated by means of infrared reflectivity and time domain
terahertz transmission spectroscopy at temperatures 20–950 K, and the magnetodielectric …

Thermal decomposition of boehmite and bayerite has been studied by X-ray diffraction and
by NMR and IR spectroscopies. Coordination and site distortion of Al polyhedra have been …

Many properties of composite materials such as diffusion, electrical conduction, dielectric
response as well as elasticity, are intimately related to the geometrical arrangement of the …

In the article we discuss the dielectric response of relaxor-type complex perovskites in the
phonon-frequency region on the basis of a rich collection of experimental data accumulated …

Using the variational density-functional perturbation theory, we investigate the dynamical
and dielectric properties of tetragonal zirconia (t− ZrO 2). We obtain the phonon frequencies …
