Metasurface‐Enabled Helical Wavefront Fingerprint Metrology for Quantitative Retrieval of Liquid Optical Constants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A metasurface‐enabled helical wavefront fingerprint (MHWF) paradigm is proposed for quantitative and specific retrieval of a liquid medium's refractive index and extinction coefficient. The liquid's complex dielectric response governs the wavefront evolution of the metasurface‐generated focused vortex beam, forming a distinctive three‐dimensional ...

Self‐Sustaining Hybrid Passive Cooler Enabling Highly Effective Thermal Management for Outdoor Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...

Unveiling a Near‐Total Rear Passivation for High Performance of Ultra‐Thin ACIGS

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultra‐thin solar cells of (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 (ACIGS) suffer from rear interface recombination, limiting their performance. To tackle it, a full coverage plasma enhanced chemically vapor‐deposited 8 nm porous SiOx passivation layer was implemented and evaluated. It is shown that a combination of the near‐complete passivation from silica and the formation

Analysis of GPR Wave Propagation in Complex Underground Structures Using CUDA-Implemented Conformal FDTD Method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2019
Ground penetrating radar (GPR), as a kind of fast, effective, and nondestructive tool, has been widely applied to nondestructive testing of road quality. The finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) is the common numerical method studying the GPR wave

Cavity‐Enhanced Eye‐Readable Detection of 0.1% H2 via Active Modulation of Charge‐Transfer Plasmons

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A cavity‐structured nanoparticle sensor is developed for highly sensitive, eye‐readable hydrogen detection. Its excellent colorimetric response arises from a hydrogen‐induced charge‐transfer mechanism: reduction of the dielectric oxide shell in H2 triggers a transition from the plasmonic gap mode to the charge‐transfer plasmon mode.

NbN Broadband Plasmonic Absorbers for Efficient Hot‐Carrier Injection Toward Improved Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Niobium nitride (NbN) broadband plasmonic metasurface absorbers provide an efficient platform for solar‐energy conversion through hot‐carrier injection. Quasi‐epitaxial NbN features a low work function of 4.0 eV, reducing the interfacial injection barrier and facilitating charge transfer into adjacent photocatalysts.

Twin‐Lever Multifunctional Meta‐Optics With High Longitudinal Tolerance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a single‐layer, CMOS‐compatible metasurface that allows for polarization‐programmable, achromatic broadband dual‐mode imaging with high longitudinal tolerance. The twin‐lever design combines bright‐field focusing and vortex‐based edge‐enhanced imaging while managing axial intensity distribution from 488 to 633 nm.
