Pupil Plane Multiplexing for Vectorial Fourier Ptychography

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This study proposes a cost‐effective, modality‐adaptive multichannel microscopy framework using pupil‐plane multiplexing. A custom pupil aperture at the Fourier plane encodes channel‐specific transfer functions with spectral or polarization filters, and model‐based reconstruction with channel‐dependent priors decodes them.

Silver‐Alloyed Wide‐Bandgap (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)S2 Thin‐Film Solar Cells With 15.5% Efficiency

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
This study reports improvements in compositional homogeneity, microstructure, enhanced radiative recombination, and extended carrier lifetime of CIGS absorber via Ag incorporation. The optimal Ag‐alloyed CIGS solar cells achieve 15.5% PCE and 948 mV VOC, competing with the VOC of the Ag‐free reference sample from the same batch.

Bending a Beam to Significantly Reduce Wakefields of Short Bunches

, 2011
A method of significantly reducing wakefields generated at collimators is proposed, in which the path of a beam is slightly bent before collimation. This is applicable for short bunches and can reduce the wakefields by a factor of around 7 for present ...

Heterogeneous Multilayer Nanopores via Chemically Tuned Dielectric Breakdown for Single‐Molecule Sensing

Small, EarlyView.
A scalable fabrication method based on chemically tuned controlled dielectric breakdown (CT‐CDB) enables heterogeneous multilayer nanopores integrating SiNx with 2D materials such as hBN, MoS2, and graphene. The resulting nanopores exhibit distinct electrokinetic behaviors and low noise, allowing structure‐dependent single‐protein sensing.

In Situ UV Torsional Force Spectroscopy for Real‐Time Mapping of Cross‐linking Kinetics and Mechanical Properties in Polymeric Films

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study introduces an in situ UV torsional force spectroscopy method to track how polymers harden under UV light. The technique maps stiffness and energy loss beneath the surface in real time. It reveals how cross‐linking develops and identifies regions with different mechanical behavior, helping optimize UV curing processes in polymer materials ...
