Mesostructured materials can exhibit enhanced light–matter interactions, which can become
particularly strong when the characteristic dimensions of the structure are similar to or …

Zinc oxide‐zinc tungstate (ZnO‐ZnWO4) is a self‐organized eutectic composite consisting of
parallel ZnO thin layers (lamellae) embedded in a dielectric ZnWO4 matrix. The …

Kerker effect is one of the unique phenomena in modern electrodynamics. Due to
overlapping of electric and magnetic dipole moments, all-dielectric particles can be invisible …

The idea of employing sunlight–a virtually inexhaustible source of energy–to catalyze
various chemical reactions or generate electrical current is intensively studied nowadays …

The laser is a powerful tool for materials processing, incorporated already in many industrial
processes and laboratory procedures. In this work, we are concerned with laser processing …

Template-directed assembly has been shown to yield a broad diversity of highly ordered
mesostructures,, which in a few cases exhibit symmetries not present in the native material …

Bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3)-based heterostructures have attracted considerable attention
owing to their interesting anisotropic properties and expected higher thermoelectric …

Electromagnetic fields interacting with microscopic structural features in a composite
material provide emerging optical properties that surpass those offered by the individual …

A recent surge of interest in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has stimulated the
search for new systems that can be utilized to fabricate high-performance optical devices …

Absorption induced transparency is an optical phenomenon that occurs in plasmonic
nanostructures when materials featuring narrow lines in their absorption spectra are …
