چکیده
The dependence of nonlinear optical response on temperature is investigated theoretically for a metal–dielectric composite with interfacial layers in a dilute limit. We show that the effect of interfacial layers on the nonlinear optical response of such composites is more prominent at low temperatures than at high temperatures, that the interfacial factor depends on the volume fraction of metallic particles and the frequency of the incident wave, and that an optimal interfacial layer is found for which the nonlinear optical response is able to be enhanced to a maximal. It is shown that weak nonlinearity can be greatly enhanced if the interfacial factor, frequency and volume fraction are chosen appropriately. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Dielectric properties, including linear (refractive index) and second-order nonlinear optical responses, of LiNb12yTayO3-type mixed single crystals with y 0:00; 0.81, 0.92, 0.97, and 1.00 have been quantitatively studied. Based on the corresponding crystal compositions, the chemical bond method was applied. The results show that the dielectric susceptibilities at 1.064 mm decrease remarkably ...

We use dynamical local-®eld corrections to study the plasmon dispersion and damping in double-layer electron systems. The wave vector and frequency-dependent local-®elds describing the exchange-correlation effects are obtained within the quantum version of self-consistent ®eld approach. The calculated plasmon dispersions are modi®ed by the dynamic local-®elds at intermediate wave vectors (i.e. ...

Extinction spectra of spheres made of materials having dispersive permittivity and permeability are calculated. A dispersion in the microwave region, similar to that which has recently been achieved in artificial composite media is assumed. When either the permittivity or the permeability (but not both) is negative, there occurs a band of strong surface polariton absorption. However, when both ...

Recent magneto-transport experiments on high mobility two-dimensional electron systems have provided strong evidence that a new class of collective electronic states exists at high Landau level occupancy. Among the phenomena observed are strongly anisotropic resistances near half-®lling and curious re-entrant integer quantum Hall states in the ̄anks of high Landau levels. These results have bee...

We have produced phototransformed C60 in powder form and in bulk quantities. The availability of several milligram batches allowed us to collect good quality X-ray powder diffractograms, infrared transmission spectra and differential scanning thermograms. Based on these data a disordered structural model is proposed which is built up from small closed oligomers. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All...
