UV-excited piezo-optical effects in oxide nanocrystals incorporated into PMMA matrices

Structural, spectral and electrical properties of green synthesized ZnS nanoparticles using Elaeocarpus floribundus leaf extract

“…This change in the physical properties has created interest in the synthesis and characterization of NC in well-known optical materials such as laser materials or non-linear optical materials. Piezo-optical studies on NC dispersion in a polymer matrix have also been studied [27]. Additionally, in the present case some role is played by phonon subsystem and environment in this type of disordered materials.…”

“…The nanosheets have large space gradients within the local electric field which can change the output susceptibilities due to the electronic as well as phonon contribution. Moreover, such nanosheets usually substantially disturb the structure of the NC, particularly the part near the border, leading to substantial changes in their structure [27]. The refractive index (n) and dielectric constant (e) of semiconducting materials is very important in determining the optical and electrical properties of the material.…”

Photostimulated optical effects and some related features of CuO mixed Li2O–Nb2O5–ZrO2–SiO2 glass ceramics

“…The general conditions for the retention of transparency of glass even after the crystallization include small refractive index difference between the crystalline and residual glass phases, a small birefringence of the crystallites and smaller wavelength of the incident light when compared with the size of crystallites. Investigations along these lines have been carried out on several glass systems including some silicate, fluoride or oxyfluoride matrices, polymers and thin films [11][12][13][14][15].…”

Photoinduced piezooptics effect in TeO2–Ga2O3 glasses

“…The basic parameters for the changes are electrooptical coefficients [3,4], acoustooptical parameters [5], magnetooptical susceptibilities [6]. The use of the piezooptical operation was just done for some of the materials like nanofilms [7], glasses [8], nanocrystals [9] etc. However there is still a necessity to enhance the efficiency of the obtained changes and to decrease the driving powers.…”
