Potassium titanyl arsenate (KTiOAsO4, KTA) crystals have been grown with flux method. The infrared absorbing edge of KTA crystal is about 5.3 μm. The electric and other properties of KTA were measured. According to the x-ray orientating, KTA crystal samples were prepared to carry on second harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation (SFG) experiments. The SHG efficiency of KTA for Nd: YAG is 1.7 times larger than that of KTA. At 20°C, the shortest SHG wavelength is 0.5174μm, and the shortest SFG wavelength is 0.4994μm.

The compression and polymorphic phase transitions of iodine have been studied by using x-ray diffraction with a diamond anvil cell at high pressure up to 77GPa. Considering that iodine is reactive with iron in air, a corrosion-resisting and high-strength gasket was put between the diamonds, thus the sample can be mounted at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Pressure was measured in terms of the ruby fluorescence and the molybdenum diffraction as an internal pressure standard. According to the x-ray diffraction results, the iodine undergoes the following three structural phase transitions with pressure increasing: ( 1 ) At 21 GPa, from base centred orthorhombic phase (phase I) to body centred orthorhombic phase (phase II). A 2% change in volume occurs. (2) At 44 GPa, from phase II to body centred tetragonal phase (phase III). This is a second order phase transition. (3) At 71 GPa, from phase III to fcc phase (phase IV). The volume decreases by 3%. At this time, the volume is 45% of the original one at atmospheric pressure.

.
A set of strained-layer GexSil-x/Si multiple quantum wells has been investigated by electroreflectance (ER) spectroscopy. In the ER spectra we have observed transitions in the quantum wells associated with the critical points E0, E1, as well as E0¹. The transitions of E0 and E0¹, which are very weak in the bulk material, are apparently enhanced in quantum wells.
