This study investigates the possibility that a crack pair that is naturally formed in the course of sample preparation functions as a laser cavity. Lasing with longitudinal mode structures has been reported in mixed-crystal thin films composed of fluorene and anthracene without artificial cavity structure. In the present study, it was shown that lasing is observed only when an excitation spot covers parallel pairs of cracks. The longitudinal mode intervals of the stimulated emission spectra for several crack pairs were found to be proportional to the inverse of the crack spacing. Furthermore, the interval for the artificially fabricated metal cavity followed the same linear relation. These results indicate that the crack pairs can function as laser cavities.

2D materials with mixed crystal phase will lead to the nonuniformity of performance and go against the practical application. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a valid method to synthesize 2D materials with typical stoichiometry. Here, 2D palladium sulfides with centimeter scale and uniform stoichiometric ratio are synthesized via controlling the sulfurization temperature of palladium thin films.

Porphyrins are an extremely valuable class of molecules engaged in a variety of roles spanning from biology to optoelectronics. Manipulation of the chemical and physical properties of the inner cavity of porphyrins has been recognized as crucial for the exploitation of these systems in organic devices, particularly when porphyrins self-organize at the interface with a flat-on orientation of the macrocycle. Such an orientation has been mostly observed on metallic surfaces.

Control of the polymorphic crystals formation of poly(butylene adipate) (PBA) is crucial to tailor its performance. In the present study, we investigated the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weight of 400 on the polymorphic crystal of PBA thin films using x-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-dependent infrared-reflection absorbance spectroscopy (IRRAS) and two-dimensional correlation analysis (2DCOS). XRD and IRRAS results suggest that the PBA thin film tends to grow α-form crystal with addition of PEG at room temperature.

Zn(O,S) thin films were deposited using a ZnS target under Ar/O2 gases by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. As the O2 concentration increased, the deposition rates of the Zn(O,S) films decreased due to increase of O-. The crystalline structure of Zn(O,S) was maintained at up to 0.
