Kishinevsky, Mrs. Ayelet Gamili, Haviv Grisaru, Vilas G. Pol, Riki Kerner (Harpeness), Mrs. Alexandra Gabashvili, and Mr. Yaakov David Solomon.
Special thanks are given to Professor Yuri Koltypin, and Dr. Elena Sominska,
who helped me in the early stages in switching from spectroscopy to materials
science, and liquidating the old equipment. They in turn were helped at the later
stages by Dr. Nina Perkas.
This work could not have been accomplished without a few institutions who
financed this research. I would like to thank the BSF (Bi-US-Israel Binational
Science Foundation), the Israeli Ministry of Science, Culture, and Sport through
the Indo-Israeli program in Materials Science (two grants), the Sino-Israeli program in Materials Science, the NEDO Organization, the Israeli Ministry of
Science, Culture, and Sport for two Infrastructure Grants, The EC for 4 5
th
Program grants, and 3 INTAS grants, and the Israeli Science Foundation for
two equipment grants. I would also like to thank the German BMBF for a DIP
(Deutsche-Israel Projects) and a grant provided via the Energy Program.
This review could not have been written without an invitation from Professor
S. T. Lee from the City University of Hong Kong for me to spend a short sabbatical
at his COSDAF Institute. This invitation enabled this review, and I thank Professor
Lee for extending this invitation to me.
