An external cavity tunable laser, which is based on a silicon hybrid micro-ring resonator, is demonstrated. The heat isolate grooves around the rings effectively cuts off temperature crosstalk. Experimental results have shown that the output power of this device can reach 15.5dBm, with a linewidth less than 130 kHz. The tuning range is more than 57nm in C-band with 60 dB side mode suppression ratio (SMSR).

Range and accuracy of in-plane anisotropic thermal conductivity measurement using the laser-based Ångstrom method.

Rev Sci Instrum

January 2025

Birck Nanotechnology Center and the School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA.

High heat fluxes in electronic devices must be effectively dissipated to prevent local hotspots, which are critical for long-term device reliability. In particular, advanced semiconductor packaging trends toward thin form factor products increase the need for understanding and improving in-plane conduction heat spreading in anisotropic materials. The 2D laser-based Ångstrom method, an extension of traditional Ångstrom and lock-in thermography techniques, measures in-plane thermal properties of anisotropic sheet-like materials.

Tuning Aromaticity, Stability and Radicaloid Character of Periacenes by Chemical BN Doping.

J Comput Chem

January 2025

Departamento de Química, Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica, São José dos Campos, Brazil.

In this work, the stability, aromaticity and radical character of pristine and eleven BN-doped armchair 5 and zigzag 5, 6, and 7 periacenes, were chosen for studying the effect of different doping schemes to stabilize the periacene, and to direct the open-shell density into specific regions of the PAH sheets. Ab initio multireference methods and different DFT functionals were used to analyze the singlet triplet (ST) energy. Moreover, a range of descriptors were used to characterize the open-shell character and aromaticity of the different doped structures.

Pentalene (C8H6) and NN- and BB-bridged heterocyclic analogues (BN)4H6, derived by replacement of CC pairs with BN, are taken as  paradigms for tuning of ring-current (anti)aromaticity by variation of π charge, electronegativity and substitution pattern.  Ab initio calculation of maps for the π current density induced in these model systems by a perpendicular external magnetic field exhibits the full range of tropicity, from diatropic aromatic to nonaromatic to paratropic antiaromatic, with a ready rationalisation in terms of an orbital model.  Further calculations on systems of varying charge in which these motifs are embedded in extended PAH systems with naphthalene and phenanthrene 'clamps' show promise for switching between current patterns and related  opto-electronic properties.

This study investigates the structure-property relationships of a series of phenylhydrazones bearing various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, such as methoxy, dimethylamino, morpholinyl, hydroxyl, chloro, bromo, and nitro groups. The compounds were synthesized, and their structures were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and DSC. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy were employed to elucidate the complex interplay between the molecular skeleton, substituents, and the resulting photophysical properties.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) significantly impacts the quality of life of those afflicted, with many patients eventually requiring surgical intervention. While Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is common, it may not be suitable for younger patients with unicompartmental OA, who might benefit more from High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). Effective patient education is crucial for informed decision-making, yet most online health information has been found to be too complex for the average patient to understand.
