Spectral Selectivity Enhancement in Solar Absorber Multilayers through Titanium Oxynitride Thin Film Modulation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optical and plasmonic properties of TiN and Ti(O)N thin films were tuned at the synthesis stage by modulating the oxygen pressure during room‐temperature pulsed laser deposition. Ti(O)N thin films exhibiting a highly metallic and peculiar double‐epsilon‐near‐zero (DENZ) behavior were produced.

Molecular Appendix Adjusted Architectural Propagations of Red‐Light Controlled Macroscopic Photoactuating Performances

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction
