Continuously wavelength-tunable passband-flattened fiber comb filter based on polarization-diversified loop structure

Scientific Reports, 2017
Continuous wavelength tuning of optical comb filters, which is an essential functionality for flexible signal processing in reconfigurable optical systems, has been challenging in high order filter structures with two birefringent elements (BEs) or more ...

Plasmon‐Enhanced Second‐Harmonic Generation in Atomically Thin Crystalline Silver Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Atomically thin crystalline silver films combine vertical quantum confinement with lateral plasmonic field enhancement to boost second‐harmonic generation. Nanoribbon and nanotriangle arrays enable geometry‐tunable infrared plasmon resonances, producing strong SHG from deeply subwavelength metallic volumes compatible with silicon‐based nanophotonics ...

Engineering Ultra‐Low Fe or Ni Loading in Polymer Derived SiCN(O) Fibre Mats: Exploring the Performance towards Alkaline OER

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polymer‐derived SiCN(O) fibre mats enable anchoring of ultra‐low amounts of transition metals for efficient alkaline oxygen evolution. The distinct behaviour of Fe‐ and Ni‐based fibres highlights the importance of metal phase and support interactions in tailoring catalytic behaviour.

Ionic Liquid (IL) Compatibilization of Macropore‐Infused Nanocomposite Emulsion Thermosets (MINETs) for Structural Ion Transport

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Macropore‐infused nanocomposite emulsion thermosets (MINETs) offer tunable multifunctionality due to their incorporation of structural resin, functional nanoparticles, and working fluid stabilized by surfactant. Here we show that if ionic liquid working fluids are introduced, structural capacitive (conductive particles) or separator (insulating ...

Rubber‐Glass‐Crystal Triple Phase Transition in Polyacrylamide Hydrogels and Environment‐Adaptive Shape Memory Effect

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
By analyzing the thermal‐mechanical properties and molecular‐scale interactions in polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogels, this research demonstrates a rubber‐glass‐crystal phase transition under the combined stimuli of temperature and moisture. Because of these hybrid phase transitions, PAAM hydrogels exhibit shape memory behavior in thermal and moist ...
