In-plane orientation effects on the electronic structure, stability and Raman scattering of monolayer graphene on Ir(111)

, 2010
We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate the electronic structures of two rotational variants of epitaxial, single-layer graphene on Ir(111).

Exciton Radiative Lifetimes in Hexagonal Diamond Ge and SixGe1–x Alloys

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Strong room‐temperature photoluminescence reported in hexagonal Ge conflicts with theory predicting a nearly dark band edge. First‐principles calculations of excitonic radiative lifetimes fill a key gap in this debate, showing that pristine hexagonal Ge remains intrinsically weakly emissive, while Si alloying only modestly shortens the lifetime and ...

Birefringence-induced phase delay enables Brillouin mechanical imaging in turbid media

Nature Communications
Acoustic vibrations of matter convey fundamental viscoelastic information that can be optically retrieved by hyperfine spectral analysis of the inelastic Brillouin scattered light. Increasing evidence of the central role of the viscoelastic properties in

Spectroscopic Evidence of Edge‐Localized States in an Antiferromagnet Topological Insulator NdBi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using spin‐polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in conjunction with quasiparticle interference, we successfully identify distinct signatures of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic terminations in NdBi, a rare‐earth monopnictide exhibiting non‐trivial topology and magnetism. We demonstrate that step edges on ferromagnetic surfaces host well‐

Etalon filters for Brillouin microscopy of highly scattering tissues

Optics Express, 2016
Brillouin imaging of turbid biological tissues requires an effective rejection of the background noise due to elastic scattering of probe laser light. We have developed a narrowband spectral notch filter based on a pair of a free-space Fabry-Perot etalon and a mirror. The etalon filter in a 4-pass configuration is able to suppress elastically-scattered

A High‐Performance and Fully Recyclable Supramolecular Nanofibrous Membrane for Multifunctional Air Filtration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.

Optoacoustic lenses for lateral sub-optical resolution elasticity imaging

Photoacoustics
In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the focusing of gigahertz coherent phonon pulses propagating in water using picosecond ultrasonics and Brillouin light scattering. We achieve this by using planar Fresnel zone plate and concave lenses with

Brillouin microscopy - a revolutionary tool for mechanobiology?

, 2019
The role and importance of mechanical properties of cells and tissues in cellular function, development as well as disease has widely been acknowledged, however standard techniques currently used to assess them exhibit intrinsic limitations. Recently, a new type of optical elastography, namely Brillouin microscopy, has emerged as a non-destructive ...

Extreme Polaritonic Interactions in a Room‐Temperature Designable Sub‐Nanocavity Quantum Electrodynamic Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
 A nanoparticle‐cluster‐on‐mirror (NPcoM) serves as a functionally deterministic sub‐nanocavity that emulates picocavities, enabling extreme light–matter interactions and polaritonic phenomena. ABSTRACT Pushing nanoscale optical confinement to its ultimate limits defines the regime of nano‐cavity quantum electrodynamics (nano‐cQED), where light‐matter ...
