An overview of the properties of electron small polarons and bipolarons is given, which can
occur in the congruently melting composition of LiNbO 3 (LN). Such polarons influence the …

A review on lithium niobate single crystals and polycrystals has been prepared. Both the
classical and recent literature on this topic is revisited. It is composed of two parts with …

A review is given on the present state of knowledge about the experimental aspects of
intrinsic and extrinsic defects in LiNbO 3, with emphasis on point defects. A special section is …

We have performed an atomistic simulation study of the defect structure of LiNbO 3 crystals
resulting from Li 2 O deficiency and reduction treatments. Li 2 O excess is found to be …

Domain walls (DWs) in ferroelectric/ferroic materials have been a central research focus for
the last 50 years; DWs bear a multitude of extraordinary physical parameters within a unit …

The optical transmission of LiNbO3 single crystals has been measured in the wavelength
range 200–900 nm, for different degrees of reduction, to study the effect of reduction on the …

In LiNbO_3 at light intensities above 10^ 6 W/m^ 2 much stronger refractive index changes
can be induced, as expected from measurements at low intensities. Most experimental data …

Black titania, with greatly improved solar absorption, has demonstrated its effectiveness in
photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical cells (PEC), inspiring us to explore the blackening …

During the past few decades, pyroelectric sensors have attracted extensive attention due to
their prominent features. However, their effectiveness is hindered by low electric output. In …
