Due to the photonic cavity effect the tubes show fluorescence (FL) signal intensity 5× greater than the corresponding powder state. Furthermore, the same tubes, which are passive to a visible laser, produce yellow-orange emitting carbonaceous lumps when burnt with an intense laser beam (42 mW) forming a chemically binary heterogeneous structure. The hetero-structure upon excitation with a visible laser at the passive tubular part showed emission in the Vis-Near infrared (NIR) range (500-800 nm) with WGMs thus producing a passive/active type hetero-structure photonic resonator.

The molecular bistability of SCO molecules is associated with a lack of fatigue; there is considerable interest for applications such as sensors and digital memory. Fabrication of a novel spin cross-over coordination polymer was successfully achieved by top-down approach (2-D Lithography). The Fe(II) SCO coordination polymers were synthesized from novel 1,4-bis(2-(1-butyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-4-yl)benzene (L1-L3) ligands. Similarly using the top-down approach we are able to form woodpile structure comprised with a blue emitting polymer and the Eu and Tb complexed analogue of the polymer.

Research paper thumbnail of Terahertz radiation and second-harmonic generation from InAs: Bulk versus surface electric-field-induced contributions

Physical Review B, 2005

The expressions describing the second-order response ͑optical secondharmonic generation and optical rectification͒ in reflection from zinc-blende crystals, such as InAs, are calculated taking into account the bulk electric-dipole contribution and the first-order surface electric-field-induced contribution. It is shown that the two contributions can be separated based on rotation symmetry considerations. Moreover, a direct comparison of the second-harmonic generation and terahertz radiation emission indicates that the observed dominant surface electric-field-induced optical rectification component may be attributed to the large free-carrier contribution to the third-order susceptibility in InAs.

The spin cross-over (SCO) temperature of polymers with BF4 and ClO4 counter anions is T1/2 = 313 K and T1/2 = 326 K, respectively.

The thickness and top area of each SCO square are ≈75 nm and ≈2 × 2 μm(2) , respectively.

Most of the nematic colloids reported so far are based on the optically isotropic spherical microparticles. We study organic single crystal micro-sheets and investigate their orientation, interaction and directed assembly in a nematic liquid crystal. The micro-sheets induce planar surface anchoring of the liquid crystal. The elasticity mediated pair interaction of micro-sheets shows quadrupolar characteristics. The average orientation angle of the micro-sheets in a planar cell and the angle between two micro-sheets in a homeotropic cell are supported by the Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor modeling. The self-assembly of the micro-sheets is assisted by a laser tweezer to form larger two-dimensional structures which have the potential for application of colloids in photonics.

The molecular bistability of SCO molecules is associated with a lack of fatigue; the bistable magnetic compounds can be used for applications such as sensors and digital memory if we arrange them to form pattern or arrays.

The square pillar arrays was successfully achieved by Top-Down Approach (2-D Lithography) and LCW technique. We will also discuss the laser based reading and writing technique from 2-D arrays. The synthesis of the back-to back ligands having different types of phenyl spacer (n = 1, 2, 3) starting from a low cost citrazinic acid will also be discussed.
