Optoelectronically Active GaAs/GeSn‐MQW/Ge Heterojunctions Created via Semiconductor Grafting
Semiconductor Grafting enables a lattice‐mismatched GaAs/GeSn‐MQW/Ge heterojunction with engineered band offsets and optical field distribution. The enlarged conduction and valence band discontinuities govern asymmetric carrier transport, producing bias‐dependent dual‐mode photodetection from visible to near‐infrared wavelengths.

Broadband Directional Thermal Radiation with Asymmetric Femtosecond Laser‐Processed Surfaces
Femtosecond laser processing is used to scalably create self‐organized angled microstructures which exhibit highly directional emissivity that occurs for all polarizations. Laser parameters are tuned to alter the surface features, control the direction of emission, and enhance the directional emissivity. Electromagnetic modeling is performed to analyze

Hexagonal arrays of silicon nanodisks are proposed to control 1.5 µm emission of Er3+ ions. Toroidal dipole resonance of the nanodisk array generates accessible magnetic hot spots at the surface, leading to enhanced and highly directional magnetic dipole emission along the surface‐normal direction via the magnetic Purcell effect.

This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.
