The origin band in the b̃(1)B(1)-ã(1)A(1) transition of CH(2) near 1.2 μm has been recorded at Doppler-limited resolution using diode laser transient absorption spectroscopy. The assignments of rotational transitions terminating in upper state levels with K(a) = 0 and 1, were confirmed by ground state combination differences and extensive optical-optical double resonance experiments. The assigned lines are embedded in a surprisingly dense spectral region, which includes a strong hot band, b̃(0,1,0) K(a) = 0 - ã(0,1,0) K(a) = 1 sub-band lines, with combination or overtone transitions in the ã(1)A(1) state likely responsible for the majority of unassigned transitions in this region. From measured line intensities and an estimate of the concentration of CH(2) in the sample, we find the transition moment square for the 0(00) ← 1(10) transition in the b̃(1)B(1)(0,0,0)(0)-ã(1)A(1)(0,0,0)(1) sub-band is 0.005(1) D(2). Prominent b̃(1)B(1)(0,1,0)(0)-ã(1)A(1)(0,1,0)(1) hot band lines were observed in the same spectral region. Comparison of the intensities of corresponding rotational transitions in the two bands suggests the hot band has an intrinsic strength approximately 28 times larger than the origin band. Perturbations of the excited state K(a) = 0 and 1 levels are observed and discussed. The new measurements will lead to improved future theoretical modeling and calculations of the Renner-Teller effect between the ã and b̃ states in CH(2).

We demonstrated that the aspect ratio (AR)-tunable CdSe/CdS dot-in-rod (DiR) nanostructures with quasi-type-II band structure were successively synthesized using the hot injection method. When the AR of CdSe/CdS DiR was tuned from 10 to 37, the exciton localization efficiency along the longitudinal CdS rod shell decreased from 57.9 to 15.

Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group-level processes such as subgroup formation and fission-fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing cohesion remains a gap in our knowledge of cooperative behavior in animals.

Metal halide perovskites have shown exceptionally slow hot-carrier cooling, which has been attributed to various physical mechanisms without reaching a consensus. Here, experiment and theory are combined to unveil the carrier cooling process in formamidinium (FA) and caesium (Cs) tin triiodide thin films. Through impulsive vibrational spectroscopy and molecular dynamics, much shorter phonon dephasing times of the hybrid perovskite, which accounts for the larger blueshift in the photoluminescence seen at high excitation density for FASnI compared to CsSnI is reported.

Article Synopsis
- Designing efficient near-infrared photodetectors integrated on silicon for telecommunications is a challenge, and this paper introduces a new silicon-based hot-electron photodetector that uses Tamm plasmons (Si-based TP-HE PD) for improved performance.
- The device features a one-dimensional photonic crystal, an Au layer, and a silicon substrate with a back electrode, which significantly increases absorption efficiency by reflecting light multiple times.
- Experimental results show a responsivity of 0.195 mA/W at 1400 nm, and the device's resonance wavelength can be tuned between 1200 nm and 1700 nm, highlighting its potential for affordable silicon optoelectronic applications.

Metallic nanoparticle photocatalysts have been developed in various catalytic systems over the past few decades, including diverse noble and non-noble metals with plasmonic properties. The hot-carrier-induced mechanism is one of the most appealing pathways as it can provide energetic electrons or holes for driving thermodynamically unfavorable reactions or increasing the reaction rate. In this work, we evaluate the photocatalytic performance of semimetallic bismuth nanoparticles and offer detailed mechanistic interpretations in terms of hot carriers and interband transitions.
