Understanding Inhomogeneous Crystallization Dynamics of Phase‐Change Materials in the Vicinity of Metallic Nanoantennas

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metallic dimer antennas on top of the phase‐change material Ge3Sb2Te6 are addressed with laser pulses, resulting in inhomogeneous crystallization. A self‐consistent multiphysics model is employed to simulate the crystallization and to understand the resulting shift of the antenna resonance.

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Tuning With Sb2S3‐Based Metasurfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Sb2S3${\rm Sb}_2{\rm S}_3$ resonant metasurfaces provide large, reconfigurable optical modulation and tunable enhanced nonlinear emission across telecommunication wavelengths. Monolithic structures achieve 92% transmission modulation and 150 nm resonance tuning, while hybridization with silicon enables strong modulation at nearly half the switching ...

A Self‐Healing Permanent Magnet Putty for Soft Robot Skins With Force Sensing and Functional Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Permanent magnet putty (PMP) integrates high‐coercivity NdFeB particles with a dynamic polyborosiloxane–Ecoflex matrix, achieving rapid self‐healing (90% mechanical recovery in 10 s) and magnetic recovery within 20 min. With twice the sensitivity of commercial putties, PMP enables precise 5–30 N force detection and discrimination between pressing and ...
