It explores the crystal structure, electrical properties, optical absorption properties, hot carrier dynamics, nonlinear optical property and strain-induced metal to insulator transition of alkaline earth niobates using advanced experimental techniques. These alkaline earth niobates can have a strong plasmon resonance in the visible range due to their large carrier density, and this unique property gives rise to the emergent phenomenon of photocatalysis and nonlinear optical properties. This series of intrinsic plasmonic materials based on niobates, can be used as a photocatalyst to split water under sunlight, a novel saturable absorber in the high-power ultrashort pulsed laser system, and as a sensor in microelectromechanical systems. 000799970 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed October 04, 2017). 000799970 650_0 $$aNiobates. 000799970 650_0 $$aMetallic oxides. 000799970 650_0 $$aThin films. 000799970 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000799970 852__ $$bebk 000799970 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-65912-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000799970 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:799970$$pGLOBAL_SET 000799970 980__ $$aEBOOK 000799970 980__ $$aBIB 000799970 982__ $$aEbook 000799970 983__ $$aOnline 000799970 994__ $$a92$$bISE
