Light-surface coupling in deep azopolymer surface relief diffraction gratings

JPhys Photonics
Surface relief gratings (SRGs) are fundamental diffractive elements for optical wavefront control, but in azobenzene-containing polymers their inscription at large modulation depths is limited by growth saturation and profile distortions, which hinder ...

Dry‑Contact Trimming for All‑Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells via Solid‑Solution Homogenization

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Narrow‐bandgap Sn–Pb perovskites are promising bottom absorbers for all‐perovskite tandems but suffer from Sn‐rich surfaces and depth‐dependent lattice/compositional inhomogeneity. Layered‐perovskite‐assisted dry‐contact trimming removes Sn‐rich surface species and reconfigures the Sn–Pb absorber, enabling efficient charge collection, reduced voltage ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Deciphering Polarity Effects of Polymer to Regulate Li+ Ionic Environment in Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
We elucidate the fundamental influences of polymer polarity on Li+ ionic environments in solid polymer electrolytes by considering four critical components: Li+, FSI−, residual solvents, and polymer matrix. Beyond facilitating LiFSI dissociation and Li+ transport, our findings underscore previously overlooked roles of polymer polarity, thereby ...

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...
