Dynamical Birefringence: Electron-Hole Recollisions as Probes of Berry Curvature

Physical Review X, 2017
The direct measurement of Berry phases is still a great challenge in condensed-matter systems. The bottleneck has been the ability to adiabatically drive an electron coherently across a large portion of the Brillouin zone in a solid where the scattering ...

Stress Direction Measurement Based on Polarization State in Optical Fibers Using the Quaternion Method

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
The state of polarization (SOP) in a polarization-maintaining fiber subjected to external stress is studied using the quaternion method. The stress principal axis on the Poincare sphere is independent of intrinsic birefringence, but has a linear ...

Dielectric‐Confinement‐Induced in‐Plane Photoelectric Anisotropy in Isotropic Quasi‐1D γ‐GaS Nanoribbon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate the geometry‐governed optoelectronic anisotropy arising from dielectric confinement in quasi‐1D γ‐GaS nanoribbons with intrinsically isotropic atomic structures. Dielectric mismatch between the nanoribbon and its surroundings leads to a general polarization‐dependent photoresponse during near‐field scattering.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Peroxide‐Assisted Solvate Engineering Enables Record‐High Birefringence in a Solar‐Blind Transparent Crystal

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
H2O2‐directed solvate engineering reorganizes ∞[4HP] (4‐hydroxypyridine) chains from a crossed arrangement into a nearly parallel packing through strengthened hydrogen‐bonding interactions. The resulting peroxide‐containing crystal, 4HP·H2O2, exhibits a solar‐blind UV cutoff edge (278 nm) and giant birefringence (0.609 @ 546 nm). This work demonstrates

Force‐Induced Control of Circularly Polarized Luminescence With Rotaxane Architecture

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Force‐induced reversible on/off switching of circularly polarized luminescence is achieved with a rotaxane‐based supramolecular mechanophore. The mechanophore, featuring a chiral helicene luminophore, is incorporated as a first network cross‐linker into a double‐network organogel.

Thermally Driven Supramolecular Chirality Evolution in Low‐Bandgap Fused‐Ring Conjugated Molecules for High‐Performance NIR Circularly Polarized Light Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A supramolecular chirality evolution strategy in chiral low‐bandgap fused‐ring conjugated molecules enables high‐performance near‐infrared (NIR) circularly polarized light photodetection. Halogen substitution and thermal annealing induce chiral amplification and hierarchical ordering. Integrated into Schottky barrier vertical transistors, the optimized
