Skylight polarization heading sensor using waveplate retardance shift with incidence

, 2023
National audienceIn nature, navigating insects such as ants, bees and flies rely on the polarization of light scattered by the sky to estimate their orientation relative to the sun, and thus orient themselves.

Efficient Magnetization Switching Driven by Orbital Torque in Light 3d Transition‐Metal Nitrides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Efficient magnetization switching is demonstrated through orbital torque generated from light 3d transition‐metal nitride. Transition‐metal nitrides are established as effective sources of orbital angular momentum for current‐induced switching, highlighting their potential for low‐power next‐generation orbitronic devices beyond conventional heavy‐metal‐

How the Porous Transport Layer Dictates Membrane Electrode Assembly Performance of IrO2 Catalysts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Schottky barrier formed at the catalyst | PTL interface critically governs both the initial performance and long‐term durability of the PEMWE, and its magnitude is dictated by the catalyst's work function. This limitation can be resolved by combining a rutile IrO2 core for efficient electron transfer with an amorphous IrOx shell for high surface ...

Scalable Fabrication of Thermally Reconfigurable Ge Metasurfaces Using Stencil Lithography for Mid‐Infrared Molecular Fingerprinting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Scalable stencil lithography enables resist‐free fabrication of high‐index Ge metasurfaces for mid‐infrared molecular fingerprinting. Reversible thermo‐optic tuning provides post‐fabrication spectral control for precise resonance–vibration mode alignment, enabling enhanced molecular fingerprinting of microplastic particles.

Orbital Engineering through Strain‐Induced Spin–Orbit–Lattice Coupling in Sr2FeReO6 Double Perovskites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Epitaxial strain drives oxygen‐octahedral reconfiguration in Sr2FeReO6 double‐perovskite thin films, inducing orbital‐selective reconstruction of Re 5d states through modified Fe–O–Re hybridization. This coupled lattice–orbital response enables magnetic easy‐axis reversal and a transition from metallic‐like to semiconducting‐like transport.

Integrated Multiband Smart Windows From UV to LWIR Based on Molecularly Engineered Thermochromic Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiband smart window integrating a thermochromic poly (EEEA‐co‐NIPAM) hydrogel with functional layers, enabling dynamic VIS‐NIR solar modulation alongside UV shielding and low LWIR emissivity. The polymer network forms hydrogen‐bonding interactions, promoting chain collapse above a reduced lower critical solution temperature, and accelerating the ...
