Electro‐Active Metasurfaces Controlling Exceptional Topological Phase Through Low‐Voltage Operation on Conductive Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This research investigates an electro‐active chiral optical response (EACOR)‐driven dual‐channel metasurfaces with fast electrical switching rates of 52 ms, and a low operating voltage of 0.5 V. The combination of polyaniline (PANI) thin film and the exceptional topological (ET) phase of chiral gold (Au) meta‐atoms modulate holographic images through ...

Ultrafast Room‐Temperature Nanofabrication via Ozone‐Based Gas‐Phase Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching for High‐Performance Silicon Photodetectors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ozone‐based gas‐phase metal‐assisted chemical etching enables unprecedented room‐temperature fabrication of high‐quality silicon nanowires. The superior oxidation potential of O3 drives rapid vertical etching (1 µm min−1) while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The pristine nanowire surfaces enable high‐performance core‐shell photodetectors
