Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Photonic crystal diffraction gratings

open access: yesOptics Express, 2001
It is shown from numerical results deduced from a rigorous theory of diffraction that diffraction gratings made with two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals may present blazing effects. Since these structures are lossless, efficiencies of 100% in the -1st order can be obtained in polarized light. Efficiency curves in Littrow mount are shown.

Surface Energy‐Confined Multi‐Layer Inkjet Printing for Customizable Optical Microstructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A surface energy‐confined multi‐layer inkjet printing strategy is developed for customizable fabrication of 3D optical microstructures. By combining interfacial energy confinement with layer‐by‐layer processing, various 3D curved optical microstructures with tailorable morphology, material composition, and spatial configuration are precisely fabricated

Lithographically Controlled Liquid Metal Diffusion in Graphene: Fabrication and Magnetotransport Signatures of Superconductivity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lithography‐guided intercalation creates a proximitized 2D superconducting Ga layer under graphene Hall bars via liquid‐metal intercalation. The image shows a Hall bar where Ga atoms from the liquid phase enter through patterned intercalation channels beneath quasi‐freestanding bilayer graphene, forming a confined 2D metal that demonstrates ...

Carrier Diffusion Links Single Crystal Quality and Photoluminescence in Halide Perovskite Radiation Detectors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
By tracking bulk carrier diffusion both vertically and laterally, this study links photoluminescence behavior to crystal quality in CsPbBr3 γ‐ray detectors. Vertical diffusion governs spectral redshift, with high‐quality crystals exhibiting superior transport, while two‐photon microscopy reveals microscale defects that hinder diffusion in low‐quality ...

Fourier Analysis of the Nonlinearity of Surface-Relief Optical Transmission Gratings of Quasi-Sinusoidal Profile Fabricated in Optical Glasses and Crystals by Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen Ion Microbeams

open access: yesPhotonics
Optical transmission gratings with quasi-sinusoidal surface-relief profiles were inscribed in IOG and Pyrex glasses and in Bi12GeO20, Er: LiNbO3, and Er: Fe: LiNbO3 crystals by microbeams of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen ions at ion energies of 5, 6, and ...

Quadruple Helix Inversions of Liquid Crystals Orchestrated by Direct Chirality Transmission of an Intrinsically Chiral Light‐Driven Molecular Machine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A molecular motor with four‐state dynamic chirality is integrated into liquid crystals, enabling quadruple sequential helix inversions and high helical twisting power. Due to high motor efficiency, the supramolecular helicity can be controlled by near‐infrared light via upconversion nanoparticles, resulting in a robust, multistate, photoresponsive soft

Giant Berry‐phase‐Driven X‐Ray Beam Translations in Strain‐Engineered Semiconductor Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the Berry‐phase effect, X‐rays propagating in deformed crystals undergo large translations, interesting for X‐ray optics applications. Here, the lattice expansion observed upon H irradiation of dilute‐nitride semiconductors is exploited to engineer the deformation landscape of selectively hydrogenated GaAsN epilayers.
