In this paper, detailed properties of bent solid-core photonic bandgap fibers (SC-PBGFs) are investigated. We propose an approximate equivalent straight waveguide (ESW) formulation for photonic bandgap (PBG) edges, which is convenient to see qualitatively which radiation (centripetal or centrifugal radiation) mainly occurs and the impact of bend losses for an operating wavelength. In particular, we show that cladding modes induced by bending cause several complete or incomplete leaky mode couplings with the core mode and the resultant loss peaks. Moreover, we show that the field distributions of the cladding modes are characterized by three distinct types for blue-edge, mid-gap, and red-edge wavelengths in the PBG, which is explained by considering the cladding Bloch states or resonant conditions without bending. Next, we investigate the structural dependence of the bend losses. In particular, we demonstrate the bend-loss dependence on the number of the cladding rings. Finally, by investigating the impacts of the order of PBG and the core structure on the bend losses, we discuss a tight-bending structure.

Electromagnetic materials with adjustable dielectric and magnetic properties are constantly sought after in electronic and industrial fields. In this study, an innovative strategy that customizes anchored Co-based nanoparticles to optimize the electronic behaviors is proposed for the first time, enabling a controllable and high-efficiency evolution of the macroscopic electromagnetic response of Co-based (C/CoT) nanoplates across the X-ray, light in the solar band and gigahertz band. Specifically, in the gigahertz band, the C/Co and C/CoSe nanoplates with high-power loss capabilities can effectively attenuate and convert electromagnetic energy into heat energy, which not only prevents space electromagnetic radiation but also powers energy for various electromagnetic devices such as thermoelectric generators and microwave actuators.

This study presents the fabrication and characterization of ZnO-MoS heterostructure-based ultra-broadband photodetectors capable of operating across the ultraviolet (UV) to mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range (365 nm-10 μm). The p-n heterojunction was synthesized via RF magnetron sputtering and spin coating, followed by annealing. Structural and optical analyses confirmed their enhanced light absorption, efficient charge separation, and strong built-in electric field.

An efficient and readable sensor is desirable for food safety and diagnosis. Herein, a homogeneous mimicking enzyme was constructed by encapsulating polyoxometalate (NH₄)₃[FeMo₆O₁₈(OH)₆]·6H₂O (FeMo) into the covalent organic framework (FeMo@COF). Coordinating the spatial confinement effect of COF, FeMo exhibited superior peroxide-like activity to catalyze HO to O• which achieved the "on-off" consecutive sensing of HO and AA via a readable colorimetric mode, with the limit of detection (LOD) at 30 μM and 0.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting represents a promising strategy to store solar energy as chemical energy. Current photocatalysts primarily focus on traditional semiconductor materials, such as metal oxides, sulfides, nitrides, g-CN, etc. However, these materials often suffer from large bandgap and fast charge recombination, which limit sunlight utilization and result in unsatisfactory photon conversion efficiency.
