We show that coherent population oscillations effect allows us to burn a narrow spectral hole (26 Hz) within the homogeneous absorption line of the optical transition of an erbium ion-doped crystal. The large dispersion of the index of refraction associated with this hole permits us to achieve a group velocity as low as 2.7 m/s with a transmission of 40%. We especially benefit from the inhomogeneous absorption broadening of the ions to tune both the transmission coefficient, from 40% to 90%, and the light group velocity from 2.7 m/s to 100 m/s.

Zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides have emerged as excellent luminescent materials for optical and optoelectronic applications. Especially environmentally friendly ternary zinc halides have recently drawn increasing attention. Herein, we present the codoping of Cu and Mn ions into 0D CsZnBr single crystals (SCs), which show bright PL emission and high stability.

These PN-CNLCs are capable of achieving a wide wavelength tuning range close to 90 nm under the action of a high-frequency electric field. The dielectric interaction between these two liquid crystals with different dielectric anisotropies in the electric field allows for the effective change of the pitch of the CLCs.

In this study, pure VO and nickel ion-doped VO powders were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal-calcination method, and their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and mechanisms were investigated. The crystal structure, morphology, and chemical state of the powders were thoroughly analyzed by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and UV-Vis. Their antimicrobial properties and mechanisms were evaluated by the ring of inhibition, bio-SEM, live-dead cell staining, ROS detection, and protein leakage experiments.
