A note of caution is necessary when deahng with these materials. It is not trivial to distinguish between CuInS(Se)2 and some phases of Cu—S(Se). Diffraction and optical properties may be similar. Elemental analysis is particularly important to verify inclusion of indium in the films and in the correct ratio. A fingerprint of the chalcopyrite XRD is the presence of a weak peak at 26 = 17-18°, corresponding to the (101) chalcopyrite reflection. This is often not seen, although this could be either because the deposit is not chalcopyrite or because weak peaks are usually not seen in nanocrystaUine materials with particularly small crystal size. 

The elements have remarkably low specific gravity, and a high atomic volume (q.v.). The oxides and hydroxides are markedly basic they do not exhibit acidic qualities. The physical properties of the salts—solubility in water, molecular volume, optical properties, and the variation in the form of the crystals show the same order of variation as the atomic weights of the elements. Lithium differs in mafiy respects from the other members of the family. The salts of the alkali metals —nitrates, chlorides, sulphides, sulphates, phosphates, carbonates, etc.—are nearly all soluble in water, although lithium, carbonate, phosphate, and fluoride are very... 

Wavefunctions and Charge Distributions. Though the quality of the wavefunction obtained in a crystal orbital study cannot be assessed by direct comparison with experiment it is of decisive importance from the point of view of prospective transport calculations on conducting polymers (calculation of electron-phonon interaction matrix elements, optical properties, etc.). Of course, the wavefunction also plays a fundamental role when properties related to the many-electron energy are calculated, and therefore the quality of these quantities partially characterizes that of the wavefunction. 

Recently in the field of physics of semiconductors and materials science a great attention has been paid to formation and optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) dispersed in inorganic matrixes. An interest to glassy materials with QDs is associated with their unique physical properties and possibility to create elements of optoelectronic devices. Phase separation processes followed by crystallization are the basic in production of such materials. They result in formation of semiconductor nanocrystals stabilized within a glass matrix. The materials are advanced for various applications because of optical and thermal stability and possibility to control optical features through the technology of glass preparation and post-synthesis thermal treatment. 

The interest in optical properties of periodic structures, based on silicon, originates from the perspectives to use such structures as optical processing elements which can be implemented into the same chip with electronic devices. It is known that macroporous silicon with a regular pattern of deep chaimels forms two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) [1]. Grooved silicon with the periodic "lattice" of Si ribs forms ID PC [2,3]. 

Cellulose and some derivatives form liquid crystals (LC) and represent excellent materials for basic studies of this subject. A variety of different structures are formed, thermotropic and lyotropic LC phases, which exhibit some unusual behavior. Since chirality expresses itself on the configuration level of molecules as well as on the conformation level of helical structures of chain molecules, both elements will influence the twisting of the self-assembled supermolecular helicoidal structure formed in a mesophase. These supermolecular structures of chiral materials exhibit special optical properties as iridescent colors, and... 

Doping, which involves the intentional incorporation of atoms or ions of suitable elements into host lattices, is one of the effective routes to endow electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of many functional materials. An excellent example is the ruby solid-state laser where the Cr -doped AI2O3 crystal is used as the gain medium. It is now generally anticipated that the performances of the bulk materials are more or less different to those of the same materials in... 

Effects of common minor and trace elements derived from recycling waste materials in fuels and as raw materials for clinker production, as well as cement hydration, are summarized by Uchikawa and Hanehara (1997). Crystal size and optical property variations in clinker phases (alite, belite, aluminates, and ferrite), and their hydraulic reactivities, are shown to be related to concentrations of sulphm, magnesium, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, chromium, manganese, zinc, and many other elements. The cement industry is based in crystal chemistry.
