The three-dimensional ternary LiFeO compound presents various unusual properties. The main features are thoroughly explored by using many-body perturbation theory. The concise physical/chemical picture, the critical spin polarizations, and orbital hybridizations in the Li-O and Fe-O bonds are clearly examined through geometric optimization, quasi-particle energy spectra, spin-polarized density of states, spatial charge densities, spin-density distributions, and strong optical responses. The unusual optical transitions cover various frequency-dependent absorption structures, and the most prominent plasmon modes are identified from the dielectric functions, energy loss functions, reflectance spectra, and absorption coefficients. Optical excitations are anisotropic and strongly affected by excitonic effects. The close combinations of electronic, magnetic, and optical properties allow us to identify the significant spin polarizations and orbital hybridizations for each available excitation channel. The lithium ferrite compound can be used for spintronic and photo-catalysis applications.

Near-infrared (NIR)-II fluorescence imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential for precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors in deep tissues; however, its performance is severely limited by the undesired aggregation of photosensitizers and the competitive relationship between fluorescence emission and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Herein, we report an example of an anionic pentamethine cyanine (C5T) photosensitizer for high-performance NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PDT. Through the counterion engineering approach, a triphenylphosphine cation (Pco) modified with oligoethylene glycol chain is synthesized and adopted as the counterion of C5T, which can effectively suppress the excessive and disordered aggregation of the resulting C5T-Pco by optimizing the dye amphipathicity and enhancing the cyanine-counterion interactions.

In clinical optical molecular imaging, the need for real-time high frame rates and low excitation doses to ensure patient safety inherently increases susceptibility to detection noise. Faced with the challenge of image degradation caused by severe noise, image denoising is essential for mitigating the trade-off between acquisition cost and image quality. However, prevailing deep learning methods exhibit uncontrollable and suboptimal performance with limited interpretability, primarily due to neglecting underlying physical model and frequency information.

Information storage and encryption are the key technologies for modern information transmission. However, most optical information storage technologies based on long persistent luminescent (PersL) only have one fixed response mode, which is easy to imitate, limiting their security in advanced information storage and encryption applications. Besides, the cost of rare earth-doped PersL materials restricts their wide application.
