Topology optimization has been used to design intersections in two-dimensional photonic crystal slab waveguides. We have experimentally confirmed that the optimized intersection displays high-transmittance with low-crosstalk for the straightforward beam-propagation line.

Vertical Quantum Confinement in Bulk MoS.

We experimentally observe quantum confinement states in bulk MoS by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The band structure at the Γ̅ point reveals quantum well states (QWSs) linked to vertical quantum confinement of the electrons, confirmed by the absence of dispersion in and a strong intensity modulation with the photon energy. Notably, the binding energy dependence of the QWSs versus does not follow the quadratic dependence of a two-dimensional electron gas.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are known for their intriguing physical properties, but their rational design and synthesis remain a great challenge for chemists. In this work, we successfully synthesized a new non-centrosymmetric oxide, i.e.

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are promising materials that not only are atomically thin but also have direct bandgaps, making them highly regarded in optics and optoelectronics. However, their photoluminescence exhibits almost random polarization at room temperature. The emission is also omnidirectional and weak due to the low quantum yield.

The oxidative damage induced by abiotic stress factors such as salinity, drought, extreme temperatures, heavy metals, pollution, and high irradiance has been studied in Arabidopsis thaliana. Ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) is presented as a signature reflecting the extent of the oxidation process and/or damage. It can be used to predict the physiological state and general health of plants.

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.
