Electric-field oscillations are now experimentally accessible in the THz-to-PHz frequency range. Their measurement delivers the most comprehensive information content attainable by optical spectroscopy - if performed with high sensitivity. Yet, the trade-off between bandwidth and efficiency associated with the nonlinear mixing necessary for field sampling has so far strongly restricted sensitivity in applications such as field-resolved spectroscopy of molecular vibrations.

Supermarkets offer a wide range of products and services that are prone to emitting several air pollutants. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive characterisation of the indoor and outdoor air quality in a multinational supermarket, encompassing not only criteria parameters but also unregulated pollutants of concern.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-dimensional topological insulators have attracted much interest due to their potential applications in spintronics and quantum computing. To access the exotic physical phenomena, a gate electric field is required to tune the Fermi level into the bulk band gap. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising alternative gate dielectric due to its unique advantages such as flat and charge-free surface.
