Outstanding optoelectronic performances, including high carrier mobility and long carrier diffusion length, have only been observed in single-crystalline CsBiX, which requires a lengthy fabrication process but not in the easily formed polycrystalline solids. This discrepancy arises from the disordered crystallization and the resultant unsatisfactory film quality. Herein, we propose an isogenous-lattice homoepitaxy strategy to induce the crystallization of highly oriented, large-grain two-dimensional (2D) CsBiX films via the in situ precrystallized, lattice-matched isogenous three-dimensional (3D) CsAgBiBr intermediate.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a modulation technique, termed orthogonal chirp division multiplexing with chirp index modulation (OCDM-CIM), where partial chirps are deliberately unmodulated to reduce interference and energy consumption. OCDM-CIM exhibits the combined advantages of interference rejection from the chirp-spread spectrum in OCDM and energy efficiency (EE) from index modulation, achieving an attractive trade-off among spectral efficiency (SE), EE, and performance by flexibly controlling the number of active chirps per subblock to adapt to different granularity requirements of the system. In addition, a distributed subblocking strategy is introduced to obtain additional coding and diversity gains.

Article Synopsis
  • Strong coupling between nanocavities and single excitons at room temperature is crucial for studying cavity quantum electrodynamics, influenced by factors like light confinement and electric field orientation.
  • A hybrid cavity design combining a one-dimensional photonic crystal and plasmonic nanocavity enhances quality factor, minimizes mode volume, and allows control of electric field direction using Bloch surface waves.
  • Achieving a Rabi splitting of around 186 meV with only 8 excitons involved marks a significant advance, producing an effective coupling strength of 17.6 meV per exciton, which is nearly double the previously reported values for TMD-based systems.

Monocrystalline perovskite materials exhibit superior properties compared with polycrystalline perovskites, including lower defect density, minimal grain boundaries, and enhanced carrier mobility. Nevertheless, the preparation of large-area, high-quality single-crystal films, which could prove invaluable for photoelectronic applications, remains a significant challenge. The study of how their unique properties go beyond polycrystalline thin films is still missing.

The composition and stability of soil aggregates are important indicators for measuring soil quality, which would be affected by land use changes. Taking wetlands with different returning years (2 and 15 years) in the Yellow River Delta as the research object, paddy fields and natural wetlands as control, we analyzed the changes in soil physicochemical properties and soil aggregate composition. The results showed that soil water content, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and total phosphorus of the returning soil (0-40 cm) showed an overall increasing trend with returning period, while soil pH and bulk density was in adverse.

Coherent superposition has been proposed to synthesize high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) by coherently superposing low-order QAMs in the optical domain. These approaches could effectively relax the digital-to-analog converter resolution and reduce the complexity of the driving electronics. However, in the superposition process, imperfect phase rotations (IPRs) in low-order QAMs will be transferred to the resultant high-order QAM.

Plasmon-induced hot-electron transfer at the metallic nanoparticle/semiconductor interface is the basis of plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis and energy harvesting. However, limited by the nanoscale size of hot spots and femtosecond time scale of hot-electron transfer, direct observation is still challenging. Herein, by using spatiotemporal-resolved photoemission electron microscopy with a two-color pump-probe beamline, we directly observed such a process with a concise system, the Au nanoparticle/monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) interface.

Exploring ultrafast carrier dynamics is crucial for the materials' fundamental properties and device design. In this work, we employ time- and energy-resolved photoemission electron microscopy with tunable pump wavelengths from visible to near-infrared to reveal the ultrafast carrier dynamics of the elemental semiconductor tellurium. We find that two discrete sub-bands around the Γ point of the conduction band are involved in excited-state electron ultrafast relaxation and reveal that hot electrons first go through ultrafast intra sub-band cooling on a time scale of about 0.

Low-loss dielectric modes are important features and functional bases of fundamental optical components in on-chip optical devices. However, dielectric near-field modes are challenging to reveal with high spatiotemporal resolution and fast direct imaging. Herein, we present a method to address this issue by applying time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy to a low-dimensional wide-bandgap semiconductor, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).

Spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus (SOP) is a rare condition. We report a case of SOP that may be related to repeated Valsalva maneuvers. A young woman underwent repeated Valsalva maneuvers to restore Eustachian tube function and subsequently developed symptoms that included otalgia, headache, and nausea.

Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) display bright luminescence for light-emitting diode (LED) applications; however, they require post-synthesis ligand exchange that may cause surface degradation and defect formation. In situ-formed PNCs achieve improved surface passivation using a straightforward synthetic approach, but their LED performance at the green wavelength is not yet comparable with that of colloidal PNC devices. Here, it is found that the limitations of in situ-formed PNCs stem from uncontrolled formation kinetics: conventional surface ligands confine perovskite nuclei but fail to delay crystal growth.

Dynamically encircling exceptional points (EPs) have unveiled intriguing chiral dynamics in photonics. However, the traditional approach based on an open manifold of Hamiltonian parameter space fails to explore trajectories that pass through an infinite boundary. Here, by mapping the full parameter space onto a closed manifold of the Riemann sphere, we introduce a framework to describe encircling-EP loops.
