TL;DR: In this article, the formation mechanisms which might be responsible for the domain structures observed in periodic-poled lithium niobate crystals grown by the off-center Czochralski technique were investigated varying the process parameters.

TL;DR: It is pointed out that in lithium niobate both free and bound polarons contributes to charge transport already at room temperature, explaining the fast decays of the light-induced bound polaron population observed by transient absorption spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated channeling and volume reflection of 400 ǫGeV protons from (110) lattice planes in highly bent Ge strips crystals, and compared the experimental results on deflection with theoretical predictions, with previous published data and with the expected performances of Si crystals in similar experimental conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, in situ X-ray reflectance (XRR) and Xray diffraction (XRD) were employed to finely characterise palladium thin films of different thicknesses during a hydrogenation process, and derived information was combined with in-situ ellipsometric measurements to achieve a complete knowledge of both structural and optical changes during hydrogen exposure.
