Anti-ambipolar transistors (AAT) are considered as a breakthrough technology in the field of electronics and optoelectronics, which is not only widely used in diverse logic circuits, but also crucial for the realization of high-performance photodetectors. The anti-ambipolar characteristics arising from the gate-tunable energy band structure can produce high-performance photodetection at different gate voltages. As a result, this places higher demands on the parametric driving range (ΔVg) and peak-to-valley ratio (PVR) of the AAT.

Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) stand at the intersection of polymer science and liquid crystal technology, offering a unique blend of optical versatility and mechanical durability. These composite materials are composed of droplets of liquid crystals interspersed in a matrix of polymeric materials, harnessing the optical properties of liquid crystals while benefiting from the structural integrity of polymers. The responsiveness of LCs combined with the mechanical rigidity of polymers make polymer/LC composites-where the polymer network or matrix is used to stabilize and modify the LC phase-extremely important for scientists developing novel adaptive optical devices.

We present a comprehensive analysis of the optical attributes of graphene sheets with charge carriers residing on a curved substrate. In particular, we focus on the fascinating case of Beltrami geometry and provide an explicit parametrization for this curved two-dimensional surface. By employing the massless Dirac description that is characteristic of graphene, we investigate the impact of the curved geometry on the optical properties within the sample.

Anion photoelectron velocity-map imaging using a tunable laser at a 100 kHz repetition rate.

J Chem Phys

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan.

We present velocity-map imaging (VMI) of photoelectrons detached from anions using an optical parametric amplifier operating at a repetition rate as high as 100 kHz. The light source generates femtosecond (fs) laser pulses tunable from near-infrared to ultraviolet (310-2600 nm), which interact synchronously with mass-selected anion bunches. We demonstrate this technique by measuring two-dimensional projections of photoelectrons ejected from silver trimer anions, Ag3-, across a photon energy range from 2.

January 2025

Clinic of General-, Special Care- and Geriatric Dentistry, Center for Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the prevalence and nature of emotional expressions in care-dependent older adults, using an automated face coding (AFC) software. By examining the seven fundamental emotions, the study sought to understand how these emotions manifest and their potential implications for dental care in this population.

Methods: Fifty care-dependent older adults' (mean-age: 78.
