Unraveling Mechanisms and Engineering Strategies for Superior Photocarrier Dynamics Toward Efficient Photocatalysis

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Despite its potential, photocatalysis is limited by inefficient charge carrier separation and transport. This article reviews the mechanisms, characterization methods, and strategies for improvement, concluding with future challenges in the field. ABSTRACT Photocatalysis offers a promising solution to environmental and renewable energy issues. However,

High resolution 3D imaging of living cells with sub-optical wavelength phonons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Label-free imaging of living cells below the optical diffraction limit poses great challenges for optical microscopy. Biologically relevant structural information remains below the Rayleigh limit and beyond the reach of conventional microscopes.

Nonresonant Surface‐Enhanced Hyper Raman Scattering of Aromatic Amino Acids on Gold Nanoparticles

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The surface‐enhanced hyper Raman spectra of the three aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, obtained with nonresonant excitation at a wavelength of 1064 nm, are reported. The data are discussed in the context of the interaction of the molecules with two gold nanoparticle plasmonic substrates, as well as intermolecular ...

Demonstration of quantum synchronization based on second-order quantum coherence of entangled photons

open access: yes, 2016
Based on the second-order quantum interference between frequency entangled photons that are generated by parametric down conversion, a quantum strategic algorithm for synchronizing two spatially separated clocks has been recently presented.

Direct Synthesis of Exfoliated Carbon Nitride Mediated by Sodiated Cellulose Nanocrystals for Photocatalytic and Adsorbent Applications

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Few atomic‐layer‐thick carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNS) were synthesized using an in situ exfoliation technique. The directly exfoliated CNNS exhibited a wider electronic bandgap along with a fourfold increase in specific surface area and tenfold increase in pore volume.

SERS‐Based Nano‐ and Microsystems Toward Biomedical Applications

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This review provides a current overview of nano‐ and microscale SERS‐based devices, encompassing all aspects from material design to practical applications. We highlight controlled SERS‐active architectures, including patterned substrates, nanorods, microspheres, micromotors, and microneedles, as well as combinations of these microfluidic systems.
