Precision‐Engineered Plasmonic Nanostar Arrays for High‐Performance SERS Sensing

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Highly ordered and dose‐controlled arrays of gold nanodiscs are created using the dots‐on‐the‐fly EBL technique and subsequently converted into nanostar arrays. This technique unlocks the reproducible and robust fabrication of highly efficient SERS substrates. Abstract Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool

Below 1% Reflectance for Black GaAs Surface Prepared by Facile Two‐Step Wet Chemical Treatment: Hydrogen Peroxide and Water

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Black GaAs surface which decreases light reflectivity forms in surprising way when GaAs is kept first in hot hydrogen peroxide solution and then in hot‐water solution. To increase performance of many photonic devices (e.g., solar cell, light emitting diode (LED), photodetector), it is essential to decrease light reflection at device interfaces ...

Multimodal Luminescence from LaAlO3:Eu3+ via Trap Modulation for High‐Temperature Applications

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
LaAlO3:Eu3+ (LAO:E) phosphor exhibiting multimode luminescence enabled by multilevel traps spanning shallow to deep states is reported. These traps ensure controlled charge storage and release at room and elevated temperatures. Experimental studies and theoretical calculations reveal the trapping–detrapping mechanism, highlighting LAO:E as a promising ...
