This work is devoted to the systematic study of the optical and magneto-optical properties of sputter deposited CuFe₂O₄ thin films in the photon energy region between 2 and 5 eV using spectroscopic ellipsometry and magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy. The spectral dependence of both the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the permittivity tensor is determined. A complete picture about the electron transitions in CuFe₂O₄ is suggested in the frame of intervalence charge transfer and intersublattice charge transfer transitions. The effect of deposition conditions and post-deposition treatment in CuFe₂O₄ films upon the optical and magneto-optical properties is discussed.

Averaging of material coefficients of crystallites deposited at an angle to a rotating substrate is considered. A simple model is proposed, and applied to determine effective linear dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic constants of all Laue groups. While these represent tensors of rank 2, 3, and 4, the method applies generally to tensors of any rank.

We developed the Floquet matrix method for APTCs, which provides a comprehensive study of the generation and characteristics of EP-4s. It is shown that an EP-4 is formed by the coalescence of three second-order exceptional points (EP-2s), which are classified into two types based on the band slopes near them.

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are currently being subject to a plethora of investigations since they are of great fundamental interest and could potentially foster promising applications. However, many basic aspects are still poorly understood, among which the problem of the dielectric constant stands out. Ferroelectric nematics have previously been reported to exhibit giant dielectric constants whose value depends on the thickness of the measurement cell, claims that have recently been shown to be the result of an incorrect interpretation of the experimental data.

This metasurface supports a stable QBIC mode induced by MO-induced permittivity terms that break the symmetry of the permittivity tensors, corresponding to a longitudinal electric dipole (ED) mode. By integrating graphene to introduce material loss, the absorption reaches 99.

We introduce a deep neural network (DNN) framework called theeal-spacetomicecompositionwork (radnet), which is capable of making accurate predictions of polarization and of electronic dielectric permittivity tensors in solids and aims to address limitations of previously available machine learning models for Raman predictions in periodic systems. This framework builds on previous, atom-centered approaches while utilizing deep convolutional neural networks. We report excellent accuracies on direct predictions for two prototypical examples: GaAs and BN.
