Phase-transition microcavity laser
Xi Yang, Shui-Jing Tang, Jia-Wei Meng +3
Liquid-crystal microcavity lasers have attracted considerable attention because of their extraordinary tunability and sensitive response to external stimuli, and they operate gener…
Temperature Dependence of Piezoelectric and Electrostrictive Properties in a PBN:65 Morphotropic Phase Boundary Thin Film
Xi Yang, A. W. Beckwith
We used an optical reflection method to measure the temperature-dependence of the piezoelectricity, electrostriction and time constant of a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) thin f…
Pulsed Laser Deposition of a PBN:65 Morphotropic Phase Boundary Thin Film with Large Electrostriction
Xi Yang, A. W. Beckwith
We deposited epitaxial thin films of Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB) Pb0.65Ba0.35Nb2O6 (PBN:65) on MgO substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Afterwards, a novel transmission…
Photon-induced switching and tunneling phenomna in a YBCO thin film junction
Xi Yang, Andrew Beckwith
In the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) phenomenon, illumination of a YBCO thin film junction with a 1mW He-Ne laser leads to the decrease of the critical critical voltage (simil…
Observations of magnetic field induced contraction of fission yeast cells using optical projection microscopy
Xi Yang, Andrew Beckwith
The charges in live cells interact with or produce electric fields, which results in enormous dielectric responses, flexoelectricity, and related phenomena. Here we report on a con…
