Integration of periodic, sub‐wavelength structures in silicon‐on‐insulator photonic device design

IET Optoelectronics, 2020
Rapid advances in high‐resolution chip lithography have accelerated nanophotonic device development on the silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) platform. The ability to create sub‐wavelength features in silicon has attracted research in photonic band and ...

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Enhanced phonon transmission at thin-film Si on diamond interface via microtransfer printing

Nano Research
The superior radiation tolerance of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers makes them critical for next-generation integrated circuit and micro-electro-mechanical system electronics in space technology and nuclear energy, and yet the inherently low thermal ...

GeS as an Emerging OTS Material: Atomic Structure and Modeling of ON/OFF Switching

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The structural puzzle of glassy GeS, an advanced memory‐selector material, has finally been disentangled, revealing a patchwork of mixed tetrahedral and trigonal species. Under a high electric field, over‐ and under‐coordinated Ge and S defects, together with three‐membered rings, form an interconnected network associated with localized and extended ...

Configuration‐Encoded Cell Alignment by Light‐Gated Silicon Photovoltaic Microcell Arrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐gated silicon photovoltaic microcells convert pulsed illumination into localized electrical cues. Arranging otherwise similar microcells into four‐lobed, six‐lobed, or circular patterns directs fibroblasts into corresponding local arrangements without wired stimulation.

Exceptional Electro‐Optic Coefficient Unlocked via Polarization Swaying in KNbO3 Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present the largest reported electro‐optic response in any material to date, guided by a new design principle that exploits ultralow coercive field polarization swaying enabled by low‐symmetry ferroelectric phases in monoclinic KNbO3 thin films for energy‐efficient classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits. ABSTRACT The electro‐optic effect

Molecular Bridges for 2D Nanomaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular cross‐linking provides a versatile strategy to engineer interfaces in 2D materials. By tuning the linker backbone, binding mode, and interflake spacing, molecular bridges can regulate charge transport, mechanical integrity, chemical functionality, and processing.

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.
