Optical isolator based on a subwavelength integrated optical metawaveguide
Dielectric metawaveguides that leverage the resonant behavior of individual dielectric scatterers have recently been suggested as a versatile platform for controlling light propagation and tailoring l...
Straintronic nanomagnetic computing
One method of electric field control of magnetization is to generate a strain in a piezoelectric layer by applying an electric field to it and transfer this strain to a magnetostrictive nanoscale magn...
Interfacial Sr diffusion stabilized (Ca,Sr)TaO3 thin film and its semiconducting behaviors
Perovskite-structured materials host enormous phases such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and ferroelectricity, which largely rely on the states of transition metal octahedra. Compared to the ex...
Brillouin-zone-folded intrinsic chirality tailoring third-harmonic generation in planar metasurface-waveguide systems
Robust chiral resonances with ultrahigh quality factors (Q-factors) and strong circular dichroism (CD) underpin both fundamental studies of optical chirality and emerging chiral photonic technologies....
Generation of tripartite entanglement among optical modes in a single multimode nanobeam
We theoretically demonstrate genuine steady-state tripartite entanglement in a monolithic optomechanical nanobeam integrating one transverse electric (TE) and two transverse magnetic (TM) optical mode...
Multi-strategy cooperative optimization of thermoelectric performance in higher manganese silicide-based materials
Higher manganese silicide (HMS), a naturally abundant p-type thermoelectric (TE) material, exhibits an eco-friendly profile, low production cost, superior mechanical strength, and high thermal stabili...
Time-domain electrical heating for broad-range and anisotropic thermophysical characterization of semiconductors
As transistor scaling approaches physical limits, the accurate quantification of thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal conductance for semiconductor materials within chips has emerged as a crit...
Elliptical acoustic resonator-enabled synchronous acoustic excitation by multiple laser beams in quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy
We report synchronous excitation of an acoustic mode in quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) enabled by an elliptical acoustic resonator under multi-beam illumination. In this configurat...
Reinforcing CsPbI3 all-inorganic perovskite grain boundaries through bilateral cyano-based molecular cross-linking for efficient and stable solar cells
CsPbI3 all-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are highly promising for photovoltaics owing to their excellent thermal stability and suitable bandgap. However, their performance and operational st...
Anomalous in-plane thermal conductivity suppression and dominant optical phonon transport in SnSe2/SnTe2 superlattice
Superlattice engineering is a well-established strategy for reducing lattice thermal conductivity (ÎșL), typically achieving stronger suppression perpendicular to the interfaces. In this study, we empl...
