Preparing materials with a desired refraction coefficient [PDF]
A recipe is given for creating material with a desired refraction coefficient by embedding many small particles in a given material. To implement practically this recipe, some technological problems are to be solved. These problems are formulated.

Identification of Potential Replacement Materials for Lead in CH3NH3PbI3 using First Principle Calculations [PDF]
There is a need for replacement material for lead due to its toxicity in organic-inorganic hybrid halide to facilitate its wide range photovoltaic applications. Here, first-principle calculations are used to screen some of the elements from the periodic table.

Is "L-valine ferric chloride" a new nonlinear optical material? [PDF]
We argue that "L-valine ferric chloride" crystal reported by Geetha et al [Curr. Appl. Phys. 15 (2015) 201-207] is not a new nonlinear optical material but instead a dubious crystal.

Are LLMs Ready for Real-World Materials Discovery? [PDF]
Large Language Models (LLMs) create exciting possibilities for powerful language processing tools to accelerate research in materials science. While LLMs have great potential to accelerate materials understanding and discovery, they currently fall short in being practical materials science tools.
