Artistic image of the polariton spin Hall effect in a liquid-crystal-filled perovskite microcavity under electrical voltages at room temperature. The findings represent a development in the generation and manipulation of pure polariton spins for spin-optoelectronic applications.
Ultrasound-induced luminescence in trianthracene derivative-based nanoparticles enables tumour imaging and immunological profiling in a variety of in vivo models.
A non-common-path interferometric scheme enables holographic detection of single proteins of mass 90 kDa and estimation of single-protein polarizability.
An optical fibre-fed superconducting electro-optic modulator with gigahertz bandwidth and attojoule per bit electric power consumption offers a fast, efficient means to connect superconducting circuits to the room temperature environment.
Using a self-referenced attosecond photoelectron interferometry on helium atoms, the electron subcycle motion along the light propagation direction is observed in the 15 pm range. A time delay of 15 ± 10 as between the electric-dipole and electric-quadrupole transitions is also revealed.
Dynamic resonance fluorescence spectra beyond the Mollow-triplet are observed in a In(Ga)As quantum dot in a micropillar. Multiple side peaks, excitation-induced spectral asymmetry, and cavity filtering effects are experimentally observed and theoretically reproduced by a full quantum model that includes phonon-induced decoherence.
A switchable deprotonation reaction at the interface between the perovskite and electron-transporting layer enables bright deep-red perovskite LEDs emitting at 691 nm with a half-lifetime of about 50.3 h at 100 mA cm–2.
An optical readout technique for the chemical potential of an arbitrary two-dimensional material is realized using a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor sensor whose optical response sharply depends on the chemical potential.
Tunable afterglow emission in the visible region is enabled by trap-induced persistent luminescence in organic host–guest materials, with controllable trap depths.
A chemical washing method called solvent sieve is developed to resolve the phase dimension issue of metal halide perovskites. The sieved perovskites demonstrate a record external quantum efficiency of 29.5% and a T50 lifetime of 18.67 h at 12,000 cd m−2; 80% of the device external quantum efficiency lasts for 100 days in the ambient.
Superconducting electro-optic modulators for a cryogenic-to-room-temperature link are demonstrated. The record-low half-wave voltage of 42 mV is achieved on a 1-m-long modulator. By matching the velocity of microwave and optical signals, a 0.2-m-long modulator can achieve a 3 dB bandwidth of over 17 GHz.
The organic molecule entinostat improves adhesion between the perovskites and substrates, leading to mechanically robust solar cell minimodules with an area of 9 cm2 and power conversion efficiency of 19%.
Holographic microscopy with independent control of the signal and reference fields enables the holographic imaging of a single protein with mass below 100 kDa and estimation of their polarizability.
