Polarized light microscopy reveals twin domains and symmetry of the phases in CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal; domain structure remains unresponsive to electric field but changes under external stress, confirming ferroelasticity while ruling out ferroelectricity.

Abstract The role of staggered potential on light-induced spin and pseudo-spin polarization has been investigated in silicene. It has been shown that non-equilibrium spin and pseudo-spin polarizations are emerged in silicene sheet by applying an external perpendicular electric field in the presence of circularly polarized light emission. This electric field results in pseudo-spin resolved states very close to the Dirac points therefore could be considered as a pseudomagnetic field. It has been shown that staggered potential induced spin-valley locking and pseudo-spin resolved bands are responsible for the enhancement of the spin and pseudo-spin polarizations. Meanwhile, spin-valley locking suggests a coexistence of both spin and valley polarizations with nearly identical (or at least proportional) population imbalance at low Fermi energies which could be employed for magnetic detection of the valley polarization. It has been shown that spin-valley locking results in the protection of the spin polarizations against the relaxations in elastic scattering regime. In addition, the results indicate that the pseudo-spin current can be generated by the circularly polarized light which could be explained by asymmetric light absorption of the states in k-space.

AbstractThis study describes a technique which makes it possible to introduce the amyloid-like order to protein aggregates by using the scaffolding framework built from supramolecular, fibrillar Congo red structures arranged in an electric field. The electric field was used not only to obtain a uniform orientation of the charged dye fibrils, but also to make the fibrils long, compact and rigid due to the delocalization of pi electrons, which favors ring stacking and, as a consequence, results in an increased tendency to self-assemble. The protein molecules (immunoglobulin L chain lambda, ferritin) attached to this easily adsorbing dye framework assume its ordered structure. The complex precipitating as plate-like fragments shows birefringence in polarized light. The parallel organization of fibrils can be observed with an electron microscope. The dye framework may be removed via reduction with sodium dithionite, leaving the aggregated protein molecules in the ordered state, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.

Many natural materials have the ability to rotate the polarization level of linearly polarized laser beam and pass through it. This phenomenon is called optical activity. In the event that a light beam (linearly polarized) passes through an optically active material, such as a quartz crystal, and projected vertically on the optical axis, the output beam will be polarized equatorially, and the vibration level will rotate at a certain angle [1], [2], [3]. A number of crystals, liquids, solutions, and vapors rotate the electric field of linearly polarized light that passes through them [4], [5], [6], [7]. Many different physical effects are applied to optical isotropic and transparent materials that cause them to behave as optical active materials, where they are able to rotate the polarization level of the polarized light linearly and pass through it [8], [9], [10]. These effects include mechanical strength, electric field, and magnetic field. By placing one of these effects on an optically transparent medium, it changes the behavior of the light travelling through it [11].
