Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Abstract Donor-Bridge-Acceptor (DBA) types of push–pull organic molecules are generally
considered as suitable functional materials for various technological applications. Properties …

Faraday rotation, the rotation of the polarization of light due to a magnetic field in the
direction of propagation of the light, is used in applications ranging from quantum memory to …

The surface/interface matters as the size of materials enters the nanoscale. Control of
surface/interface, therefore, plays an important role in creating novel nanostructures with …

Superpositions of coherent light waves typically interfere. We present superpositions of up to
six plane waves that defy this expectation by having a perfectly homogeneous mean square …

Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based chromophores are highly sought after for
designing near-infrared (NIR) absorbing and emitting dyes as well as for designing …

The design of efficient noncentrosymmetric materials remains the ultimate goal in the field of
organic second‐order nonlinear optics. Unlike inorganic crystals currently used in second …

A series of new bipyrimidine-based chromophores have been prepared presenting
alkoxystyryl donor groups carrying aliphatic chains in the 3, 4, 3, 5 or 3, 4, 5 positions …

The research investigations reported in this paper focuses on the influence of rational
design on the photophysical properties of new all-organic multifunctional chromophores …

Nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of three chiral smectic liquid crystals were investigated by
Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering (HRS) and the Second-Harmonic Generation (SHG) methods …
