The graphitic phases of C and Si are studied, using the pseudopotential local-density-functional approach.

The perovskite SeCuO3- is unusual for possessing (i) a very small A-site (Se4+) radius, (ii) highly distorted Cu-O-Cu bond angles (alpha), and (iii) a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state.

Ferroelectric oxides, such as Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3, are useful for electronic and photonic devices because of their ability to retain two stable polarization states, which can form the basis for memory and

To confirm and extend further our previous prediction of a Curie transition in PVF2, we examined a copolymer of it with tetrafluoroethylene (81 mol % VF2).

The interest in "polymer electronics" has been growing rapidly in recent years, fueled by the vision of devices such as thin, flexible flat-panel displays that could be printed or stamped directly

Ferroelectric crystals are technologically important for their optoelectronic properties.

Using Schottky-barrier electro-reflectance spectroscopy, we have observed new direct optical transitions near 0.76 eV, 1.25 eV and 2.31 eV in an ordered Ge-Si superlattice.

The epitaxial growth of (semiconductor) layered structures yields novel material configurations leading to new solid state science and technology.

This article will appear in The Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Academic Press).

Organic thiols have received extensive attention recently because of their relative stability and ease of examination compared to other potential molecular electronic materials.
