Selective Optical Properties of Cement for Enhanced Radiative Cooling and Energy‐Efficient Construction Materials

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Cement phases are good materials for radiative cooling thanks to the selective emissivity in IR ATW. Cement powders have high reflectance of solar radiation which reduces the thermal losses. The onset of the absorption curves is defined by bound excitons. Sulfates have higher radiated powers and reflectance than calcium silicates.

Construction of Sheet‐on‐Hollow Cube Cu2‐xS/ZnIn2S4 p‐n Heterojunction for Enhanced Visible‐Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The Cu2–xS/ZnIn2S4 composite photocatalyst is an ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheet in situ grown on the surface of the Cu2–xS hollow cube, forming a unique p‐n junction structure, which exhibits excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production performance under visible light.

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Probing Metal Tip‐Induced Bond Weakening of a Reactive Alkyne Center Aligned via a Rigid Triphenylmethane‐Based Tripod on Au(111) by TERS and DFT

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We investigate tip‐induced bond weakening of a single alkyne center immobilized and aligned upright on Au(111) using a rigid triphenylmethane‐based tripod. By varying the tip–molecule distance, we observe shifts in the ≡C–H and –C≡C– vibrational bands via ultrahigh vacuum low‐temperature tip‐enhanced Raman scattering (TERS).

Light bullet generation via stimulated Brillouin scattering

APL Photonics
We propose an all-optical approach to generating space–time wave packets in a multimode slab waveguide via the multilevel interband stimulated Brillouin scattering process. Two pump sources and a single-mode signal are fed into the waveguide.

Recent Advances in Photonic Bound States in the Continuum: From Fundamentals to Engineering and Implementation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent progress in meta‐photonics with a focus on bound states in the continuum (BICs) as a powerful platform for light confinement and control. It covers fundamental concepts, design strategies across optical regimes, symmetry breaking for practical quasi‐BICs, tunable and AI‐assisted BIC devices, and emerging applications in ...

High-Efficiency Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Pulse Shaping

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
We present an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that uses a pump pulse shape tailored by stimulated Brillouin scattering. The theoretical analysis is carried out for comparison between Gaussian pump and the step function pulse pump.

Highly Versatile Real‐Time Optical Noise Filtering Through Temporal Cloaking

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Conventional bandpass filtering strategies may be insufficient for recovering optical waveforms under extremely noisy conditions. We demonstrate a temporal‐cloaking denoising strategy enabled by the temporal Talbot effect, which concentrates the coherent signal of interest into short temporal slots while broadband noise remains temporally spread.

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip
