Structural parameters such as the crystal volume and the lattice parameters a and c vary roughly linearly from LiTaO3 to LiNbO3, showing only minor deviations from the Vegard behavior. Our ab initio calculations demonstrate that the TO1, TO2 and TO4 vibrational modes become harder with increasing Nb concentration. TO3 becomes softer with increasing Nb content, instead. Furthermore, the investigated zone center A1 -TO phonon modes are characterized by a pronounced stoichiometry dependence. Frequency shifts as large as 30 cm−1 are expected as the [Nb]/[Ta] ratio grows from 0 to 1. Therefore, spectroscopic techniques sensitive to the A1 modes (such as Raman spectroscopy), can be employed for a direct and non-destructive determination of the crystal composition.}}, author = {{Sanna, Simone and Riefer, A. and Neufeld, Sergej and Schmidt, Wolf Gero and Berth, Gerhard and Rüsing, Michael and Widhalm, A. and Zrenner, Artur}}, issn = {{0015-0193}}, journal = {{Ferroelectrics}}, keywords = {{Ferroelectrics, vibrational properties, LiNbO3, LiTaO3, mixed crystals}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{63--68}}, title = {{{Vibrational Fingerprints of LiNbO3-LiTaO3Mixed Crystals}}}, doi = {{10.1080/00150193.2013.821893}}, volume = {{447}}, year = {{2013}}, } @article{39717, author = {{Lorenz, Alexander and Zimmermann, Natalie and Kumar, Satyendra and Evans, Dean R. and Cook, Gary and Martínez, Manuel Fernández and Kitzerow, Heinz-Siegfried}}, issn = {{1559-128X}}, journal = {{Applied Optics}}, keywords = {{Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Engineering (miscellaneous), Electrical and Electronic Engineering}}, number = {{22}}, publisher = {{The Optical Society}}, title = {{{X-ray scattering of nematic liquid crystal nanodispersion with negative dielectric anisotropy [Invited]}}}, doi = {{10.1364/ao.52.0000e1}}, volume = {{52}}, year = {{2013}}, } @article{39715, author = {{Nordendorf, Gaby and Lorenz, Alexander and Hoischen, Andreas and Schmidtke, Jürgen and Kitzerow, Heinz-Siegfried and Wilkes, David and Wittek, Michael}}, issn = {{0021-8979}}, journal = {{Journal of Applied Physics}}, keywords = {{General Physics and Astronomy}}, number = {{17}}, publisher = {{AIP Publishing}}, title = {{{Hysteresis and memory factor of the Kerr effect in blue phases}}}, doi = {{10.1063/1.4828477}}, volume = {{114}}, year = {{2013}}, } @inproceedings{39712, author = {{Schmidtke, Juergen and Lu, Lu and Kitzerow, Heinz-Siegfried and Terentjev, Eugene M.}}, booktitle = {{SPIE Proceedings}}, editor = {{Chien, Liang-Chy and Broer, Dick J. and Chigrinov, Vladimir and Yoon, Tae-Hoon}}, issn = {{0277-786X}}, publisher = {{SPIE}}, title = {{{Liquid crystal lasers: recent advances}}}, doi = {{10.1117/12.2008373}}, year = {{2013}}, } @article{39720, abstract = {{ We examine for the first time how chemically and thermally stable gold nanoparticles (NPs), prepared by a silane conjugation approach, affect both the thermal and the electro-optical properties of a nematic liquid crystal (LC), when doped at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 7.5 wt%.

The calculations are based on the electronic structure obtained from density-functional theory. The subsequent application of the GW approximation to account for quasiparticle effects and the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the stoichiometric material yield a dielectric function that slightly overestimates the absorption onset and the oscillator strength in comparison with experimental measurements. Calculations at the level of the independent-particle approximation indicate that these deficiencies are, at least, partially related to the neglect of intrinsic defects typical for the congruent material. The second-order polarizability calculated within the independent-particle approximation predicts strong nonlinear coefficients for photon energies above 1.5 eV. The comparison with measured data suggests that the inclusion of self-energy effects in the nonlinear optical response leads to a better agreement with experiments.
