We experimentally and numerically investigate the spectral and temporal structure of mid-infrared (mid-IR) filaments in bulk dielectrics with normal and anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD) pumped by a 2.1 μm optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA). The formation of stable and robust filaments with several microjoules of pulse energy is observed. We demonstrate a supercontinuum that spans more than three octaves from ZnS in the normal GVD regime and self-compression of the mid-IR pulse to sub-two-cycle duration in CaF in the anomalous GVD regime. The experimental observations quantitatively agree well with the numerical simulations based on a three-dimensional nonlinear wave equation that reveals the detailed spatio-temporal dynamics of mid-IR filaments in dielectrics.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) with a wide band gap (approximately 6.2 eV) has attractive characteristics, including high thermal conductivity, a high dielectric constant, and good insulating properties, which are suitable for the field of resistive random access memory. AlN thin films were deposited on ITO substrate using the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique.

In this study, a simulation of the elementary chemical reactions during SiO film growth in a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) reactor was carried out using a 2D model. For the 2D simulation, the continuity, momentum, heat, and diffusion equations were solved numerically by the software COMSOL Multiphysics based on the finite element method. The model allowed for the simulation of the key parameters of the HFCVD reactor.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have uncovered that deoxidized SrTiO becomes metallic and superconducting at very low oxygen vacancy levels, challenging long-standing assumptions.
- Detailed studies show that during thermal reduction, oxygen is lost at extremely low concentrations, leading to the formation of filaments along dislocation networks in the material.
- The findings suggest a rethink of superconductivity models in self-doped SrTiO, proposing that the material behaves as a nano-composite with both insulating and metallic characteristics, facilitating polaronic coupling.

Article Synopsis
- Cold piezoelectric plasma (CPP) is a new cancer treatment method that can lead to cancer cell death and the development of portable treatment devices, specifically targeting cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
- In vitro experiments use two types of CPP devices, corona discharge (Pz-CD) and dielectric barrier discharge (Pz-DBD), with Pz-CD delivering more power but both generating significant reactive species.
- CPP shows immediate effects like remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton and long-term effects through activation of the DNA damage response pathway, suggesting its potential as an effective antitumor therapy.
