TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ab initio band structure calculations in the local density approximation to determine the optical properties and the electronic structure of the bulk SrTiO3 in a dedicated scanning transmission electron microscope, vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry.

TL;DR: The electronic structure of three phases of ZrO[sub 2], cubic, tetragonal, and monoclinic, is determined using vacuum-ultraviolet and x-ray-photoemission spectroscopies and the orthogonalized linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals method, in an attempt to understand the complex interaction of the stabilizing dopants and associated atomic defects with the crystal structures of ZRO[ sub 2] and their phase transitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the high-temperature electronic structure of Al2O3 and its role in determining the hightemperature, intrinsic, electronic conductivity has been evaluated and it has been shown that Al 2O3 is predominantly an electronic conductor at hightemperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete description of the first-order Raman and Brillouin spectra of single-crystal aluminum nitride is provided, and the frequency has been measured and the symmetry identified of each of the Raman active zone-center optic modes, and five independent elastic constants have been measured.

TL;DR: Our understanding of the electrodynamic, electrostatic, and polar interactions that dominate the organization of small objects at separations beyond an interatomic bond length is reviewed in this article.
