A combined experimental/theoretical study of the EPR in irradiated $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ is presented. Four EPR spectra, two $S=1/2$ and two $S=1$, are observed after high-energy proton or electron irradiation. One of the S=1/2 spectra (EPR1)…
We study the electronic states of giant single-shell and the recently discovered nested multi-shell carbon fullerenes within the tight-binding approximation. We use two different approaches, one based on iterations and the other on…
Relaxor ferroelectrics are difficult to study and understand. The experiment shows that at low energy scattering there is an acoustic mode, an optic mode, dynamic quasi-elastic scattering and strictly elastic scattering as well as Bragg…
