Being a giant bulk Rashba semiconductor, the ambient-pressure phase of BiTeI was predicted to transform into a topological insulator under pressure at 1.7-4.1 GPa [Nat. Commun. 2012, 3, 679]. Because the structure governs the new quantum state of matter, i ...
The Letter proposes a method for phase estimation from a fringe pattern. The proposed method relies on a parametric approach where the phase is locally approximated as a two-dimensional (2D) polynomial, with the ensuing polynomial coefficients as the respe ...
The enthalpies of formation of the intermetallic compounds in the Ge-Ni binary system have been determined by calorimetric measurement and first-principles calculations. Based on the results obtained and information available in the literature, the phase d ...
NOVELTY - The apparatus has an optical unit for splitting a source field to produce and combine reference and biomedical sample light fields. An optical and electronic unit records a spectral interference pattern between combined light fields. A controlled ...
