FIG. 10.6 (a) The figure represents alpha(α) scan performed around BCZT (110) and CFO (311) reflections of the ME composite and (110) reflection of individual BCZT film. Inset shows the GIXRD scan of the composite at different grazing angles (α = 0.45° 0.50°, and 0.55°). (b) Variation of percent change in Δ peak broadening of BCZT (110) and peak broadening of ME composite BCZT (110) with respect to grazing incidence angle.

FIG. 13.1 The Landscape of Physics Education: Decontextualized methods live at high elevations where the learning experience is exhausting and suffocating. The ecosystem is barren, reflecting the sterility of decontextualized physics instruction. When descending along any path, contextualized meth...

FIG. 7.25 (a) Optomechanical crystal tightly confined mechanical and optical resonances at the same physical location. This is achieved using photonic crystals to confine light and acoustic bandgap structure to confine mechanical vibrations ( Meenehan et al., 2014 ). (b) Basic setup of optical tweezer ( Ashkin et al., 1986 ) incoming spatially filtered laser beam focused using a microscope on a particle in a liquid. The focused beam undergoes reflections R₁ and R₂ and refraction by the sphere, resulting in a net upward force F_A on the particle.
