Article Synopsis
  • - VO (vanadium oxide) undergoes a solid-state phase transition near room temperature from a monoclinic to a tetragonal phase, affecting its physical properties like resistivity and mechanical modulus at ultrafast speeds, which is useful for heat flux-switching applications.
  • - The phenomenon can also be induced by an electric field (E-MIT), making VO advantageous for modulating the resonance behavior of nanomechanical resonators.
  • - A 400 μm × 5 μm × 240 nm microstring made of suspended SiN coated with VO shows that applying an electric field can either reduce or enhance its frequency, highlighting its potential for efficient MEMS-based switches and neuromorphic devices.

Plasmonics in metal nanoparticles can enhance their near field optical interaction with matter, promoting emission into selected optical modes. Here, using Ga nanoparticles with carefully tuned plasmonic resonance in proximity to MoSe monolayers, we show selective photoluminescence enhancement from the B-exciton and its trion with no observable A-exciton emission. The nanoengineered substrate allows for the first direct experimental observation of the B-trion binding energy in semiconducting monolayers.
