Article Abstract
We investigate thin film sensing capabilities of a terahertz (THz) metamaterial, which comprises of an array of single split gap ring resonators (SRRs). The top surface of the proposed metamaterial is covered with a thin layer of analyte in order to examine various sensing parameters. The sensitivity and corresponding figure of merit (FoM) of the odd and even resonant modes are analyzed with respect to different thicknesses of the coated analyte film. The sensing parameters of different resonance modes are elaborated and explained with appropriate physical explanations. We have also employed a semi-analytical transmission line model in order to validate our numerically simulated observations. Such study should be very useful for the development of metamaterials based sensing devices, bio-sensors etc in near future.

We consider a problem of nonlinear response to an external electromagnetic radiation in conventional disordered superconductors which contain a small amount of weak magnetic impurities. We focus on the diffusive limit and use Usadel equation to analyze the excitation energy and dispersion relation of the collective modes. We determine the resonant frequency and dispersion of both amplitude (Schmidt-Higgs) and phase (Carlson-Goldman) modes for moderate strength of magnetic scattering.

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the vital physiological parameters, and its measurement is done routinely for almost all patients who visit hospitals. Cuffless BP measurement has been of great research interest over the last few years. In this paper, we aim to establish a method for cuffless measurement of BP using ultrasound.

Halide perovskites have attracted recent attention as thermoelectric materials due to their low thermal conductivity combined with good charge transport characteristics. The tin halide perovskites hold the highest within metal halide perovskites and offer lower toxicity than lead-containing perovskites that are well-known for photovoltaics. In this study, we partially substitute Sn (II) with Ge (II) to form mixed metal CsSnGeI perovskite thin films that have substantially improved stability, remaining in the black orthorhombic phase after hours of ambient air exposure.

The ever-growing interest in MXenes has been driven by their distinct electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. In this context, further revealing their physicochemical attributes remains the key frontier of MXene materials. Herein, we report the anisotropic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features in TiCT MXene as well as site-selective photocatalysis enabled by the photophysical anisotropy.

Topological plasmonics combines principles of topology and plasmonics to provide new methods for controlling light, analogous to topological edge states in photonics. However, designing such topological states remains challenging due to the complexity of the high-dimensional design space. We present a novel method that uses supervised, physics-informed deep learning and surrogate modeling to design topological devices for desired wavelengths.
