This paper reviews some recent advances in small‐angle X‐ray and neutron scattering
methods and their application to address complex issues in ceramic systems of …

Methods of laser micro-and nano-modification of the structure of transparent dielectrics offer
much for the creation of a new type of glass-crystalline materials and new applications. In …

Although chemists, biochemists, biologists, and material scientists are often interested in
using nonlinear optical techniques for characterizing their samples, they seldom have the …

The structure of potassium niobium silicate glasses in a wide compositional range has been
studied by means of Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. The glasses spectra were compared to …

This paper reports the second-and third-order nonlinear properties of Er 3+/Yb 3+-doped
PbO-GeO 2-Ga 2 O 3 glasses with Au nanoparticles. The glasses were prepared by the melt …

Investigations of new materials possessing both higher Raman gain and larger spectral
bandwidth than fused silica are becoming mandatory in order to satisfy increasing …

We present a methodology based on polarization-controlled second-harmonic generation
microscopy that allows one to determine the point group symmetry of noncentrosymmetric …

The generalized use of Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers since the eighties
and the introduction of powerful gas lasers for Raman spectroscopy since the seventies …

Real‐time small‐angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron diffraction (ND) studies have
been performed on a calcium fluorapatite (Ca5 (PO4) 3F)(FAP) glass–ceramic composition …

Amorphous nanoheterogeneities of the size less than 100Å have been formed in glasses of
the Li2O–Nb2O5–SiO2 (LNS) and Li2O–ZnO–Nb2O5–SiO2 (LZNS) systems at the initial …
