Lateral photovoltaic effect has been studied in p-La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/n-Si heterojunction. Under illumination of continuous 808 nm laser beam on the film surface, a transient photovoltaic overshoot accompanied with the steady signal was observed when the laser turned off and on. The open-circuit photovoltage had a linear dependence on illuminated position, and the sensitivity reached 0.75 mV mW(-1) mm(-1) for steady value and 6.25 mV mW(-1) mm(-1) for the transient peak value. Especially, an enhancement in position detecting sensitivity was observed when the interface of this heterojunction was irradiated, which were 1.25 mV mW(-1) mm(-1) (steady value) and 26.0 mV mW(-1) mm(-1) (peak value). This work demonstrates a novel way to increase sensitivity for manganite-based position sensitive detectors.

In this paper we present the microwave properties of tin sulfide (SnS) thin films with the thickness of just 10 nm, grown by RF magnetron sputtering techniques on a 4 inch silicon dioxide/high-resistivity silicon wafer. In this respect, interdigitated capacitors in coplanar waveguide technology were fabricated directly on the SnS film to be used as both phase shifters and detectors, depending on the ferroelectric or semiconductor behaviour of the SnS material. The ferroelectricity of the semiconducting thin layer manifests itself in a strong dependence of the electrical permittivity on the applied DC bias voltage, which induces a phase shift of 30 degrees mmat 1 GHz and of 8 degrees mmat 10 GHz, whereas the transmission losses are less than 2 dB in the frequency range 2-20 GHz.

Article Synopsis
  • All-optical modulators are essential for advanced communication technology, enabling faster signal processing and data transfer.
  • The study showcases a new modulator design using graphdiyne (GDY) on a microfiber, which can effectively control phase shifts in light through the thermo-optic effect.
  • Results indicate that GDY outperforms other materials like graphene and MXene in efficiency, making it a promising candidate for future telecommunication systems.

Nanosized contrast agents have great potential in magnetic resonance molecular imaging applications for clinical diagnosis. This study proposes new nanoparticles spontaneously formed under mild conditions and composed of a noncovalent adduct between a gadolinium complex, a polymer of beta-cyclodextrin (pbetaCD: MW 1.5 x 10(6) g mol(-1)) and a dextran grafted with alkyl chains (MD).
