Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

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 ...

Orientation‐Engineered Insulator‐Metal Transition in Vanadium Dioxide

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crystallographic orientation engineering in VO2/TiO2 heterostructures enables tunable insulator‐metal transitions. The high‐Miller‐index (102) orientation breaks in‐plane mirror symmetry, inducing anisotropic transport, while its inclined oxygen channels accelerate protonation kinetics.

Dynamically Tunable Exciton‐Photon Coupling via Multi‐Physics Field in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Microcavities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dynamic microcavities provide reversible control over exciton‐photon coupling in two‐dimensional TMDs through piezoelectric, electrical, thermal, and all‐optical tuning. By reshaping detuning, Rabi splitting, and polariton composition, these strategies enable adaptable polaritonic functions, including optical switching, polariton lasing, and ...
