Infrared Nanocrystals for Space Application: Hardness to Irradiations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates infrared HgTe nanocrystals under X‐ray and ion irradiation, revealing remarkable radiation hardness. It uncovers distinct degradation mechanisms and shows that the nanomaterial outperforms integrated electronics. The results position colloidal nanocrystals as promising candidates for resilient space and harsh‐environment ...

Coaxial superposition of Bessel beams by discretized spiral axicons

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2018
Background A diffractive spiral axicon can be used for the generation of a vortex beam with orbital angular momentum. The coaxial superposition of multiple vortices can generate a complex field with off-axis optical vortices.

Perfect spatiotemporal optical vortices

open access: yesPhotonics Research
Recently, spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) with transverse orbital angular momentum have emerged as a significant research topic. While various STOV fields have been explored, they often suffer from a critical limitation: the spatial and temporal dimensions of the STOV wavepacket are strongly correlated with the topological charge.

Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

Observation of higher-order deterministic optical vortices from random vortex beams

open access: yesAPL Photonics
Optical vortices in coherent beams have been identified as spiral phases with intensity nulls at singularities, while in random beams, they appear as coherence vortices in correlation functions, often not matching intensity nulls. Observing deterministic

Diffusion induced decoherence of stored optical vortices

open access: yes, 2007
We study the coherence properties of optical vortices stored in atomic ensembles. In the presence of thermal diffusion, the topological nature of stored optical vortices is found not to guarantee slow decoherence.

Magnetic Force Microscopy Signatures of Higher‐Order Skyrmions and Antiskyrmions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic force microscopy operated under vacuum conditions enables the qualitative identification of higher‐order skyrmions and antiskyrmions in Co/Ni multilayers at room temperature. Distinct stray‐field contrast signatures arise from vertical Bloch lines and complex domain‐wall configurations.

Imaging of Biphoton States: Fundamentals and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Quantum states of two photons exhibit a rich polarization and spatial structure, which provides a fundamental resource of strongly correlated and entangled states. This review analyzes the physics of these intriguing properties and explores the various techniques and technologies available to measure them, including the state of the art of their ...

Interaction between superconducting vortices and Bloch wall in ferrite garnet film

open access: yes, 2007
Interaction between a Bloch wall in a ferrite-garnet film and a vortex in a superconductor is analyzed in the London approximation. Equilibrium distribution of vortices formed around the Bloch wall is calculated.
