A PEG-borate ester solid-state polymer electrolyte to fabricate a LiPSCl-rich composite for a Li metal battery.

A LiPSCl-rich composite is prepared using a PEG-borate ester solid-state polymer electrolyte (BSPE). BSPE is a highly accessible compound with high ionic conductivity and excellent electrochemical stability against Li metal. Thereby, the stability of the LiPSCl-rich composite with BSPE improved significantly.

G-s0 mode converter with lateral gold mirrors for nano-plasmonic integrated circuits.

We propose a waveguide-typed plasmonic mode converter with lateral gold mirrors (LGMs) at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. The 17.

Surface plasmon resonance image sensor module of spin-coated silver film with polymer layer.

Prism modules of 20 nm-, 40 nm-, and 60 nm-thick spin-coated silver films both without and with an upper 100 nm-thick spin-coated polymer layer were fabricated for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) image sensor applications. The prism modules were applied to an SPR image sensor system. The coefficients of determination (R2s) for the 20 nm-, 40 nm- and 60 nm-thick silver films without the polymer layer were 0.

Sa0 mode converter for nano plasmonic integrated circuits.

We propose an Sa0 mode converter (Sa0MC) that transforms Ss0 mode to Sa0 mode in an insulator-metal-insulator-metal-insulator waveguide (IMIMI-W) at a wavelength of 1.55 microm. The proposed Sa0MC is composed of 3.

Very thin spin-coated silver films via transparent silver ink for surface plasmon resonance sensor applications.

We fabricated very thin silver films with thicknesses of 20 nm, 40 nm, and 60 nm on a prism using a spin coating method for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) image sensor module applications. An aqueous silver ionic complex solution was spin-coated and then thermally cured for 10 minutes at 150 degrees C in an oven. The spin-coated solid silver films possessed silver crystallinity.

Squeezed mode conversion in hybrid plasmon polariton waveguide using spin-coated silver film.

We designed, fabricated, and characterized a hybrid surface plasmon polariton waveguide (SPP_wg) for mode conversion. The 20-nm-thick silver SPP_wg was fabricated via spin-coating with an aqueous silver ionic complex solution. The structure of the SPP_wg consists of a straight Insulator-Metal-Insulator waveguide (IMl_wg), a lateral tapered Insulator-Metal-Insulator-Metal-Insulator waveguide (tapered_IMIMI_wg), and a straight IMIMI waveguide (IMIMI_wg).

Effective plasmonic mode-size converter.

Plasmonic mode-size converters (PMSCs) for long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LR-SPPs) at the wavelength of 1.55 μm are presented. The PMSC is composed of an insulator-metal-insulator waveguide (IMI-W), a laterally tapered insulator-metal-insulator-metal-insulator waveguide (LT-IMIMI-W), and an IMIMI-W in series.
