It is well-known that Einstein got the 1921 Nobel prize not for his theory of relativity, but photoelectricity. he did get in 1921. Why not, and when it?

SnO2 nanosheet-structured films were prepared on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate using ZnO nanosheet as template. The as-prepared SnO2 nanosheets contained plenty of nano-voids and were generally vertical to the substrate. TiO2 nanoparticles were homogeneously deposited into the intervals between the SnO2 nanosheets to prepare a hierarchically structured SnO2/TiO2 hybrid film. The hy...

Recently, an electrophysical approach has been applied to the study of the long bone in order that a more complete understanding of its growth and structural integrity become available. Experimental studies have indicated that weak electric fields may be detected in living bone, in vivo, as the result of externally applied loads, normal weight bearing and pulsatile blood flow. In addition, phys...

The purpose of this article is to give a complete and general answer to the recurrent problem in continuum mechanics of the determination of the number and the type of symmetry classes of an even-order tensor space. This kind of investigation was initiated for the space of elasticity tensors. Since then, different authors solved this problem for other kinds of physics such as photoelectricity, ...

SiCN thin film is one of the most attractive silicon-based materials due to its excellent electrical, mechanical and optical properties. In this study, films have been prepared by radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method under different power, pressure, substrate temperature. The microstructure, morphology, field emission properties were performed. results indicated that high-qualit...

2-(Thiophen-2-yl)thiazole was introduced as a π-bridge into diethylamino coumarin and novel coumarin sensitizers were synthesized with cyanoacrylic acid or rhodanine acetic acid as electron acceptor. Their light-harvesting capabilities and photovoltaic performance were investigated and compared with those of a similar sensitizer bearing a phenylthiophene bridge. Replacement of benzene in the π-...
