We propose a sensor with high anti-interference ability using a photonic crystal cavity coupled system for simultaneous sensing of the refractive index (RI) and temperature (T) based on an electromagnetically induced transparency-like effect. A transparent window is achieved in the transmission spectrum through destructive interference between the air mode resonance and dielectric mode resonance in two one-dimensional photonic crystal structures. The T-sensitive material (SU-8) is used in the coupled system, promoting sensitivity and anti-interference ability. The capability of the system to simultaneously detect a small range of RI and T is demonstrated using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations and the fitting process. The RI sensitivities for the air and dielectric modes were 215 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and 0 nm/RIU, respectively. The T sensitivities for the air and dielectric modes were 19 pm/K and -83/, respectively. The sensor resists external interference, enabling it to resist the error caused by readings. The footprint of the sensor is 29×1.8µ (×), contributing to future optical on-chip integration sensor design.

Achieving high birefringence in ultraviolet (UV)-transparent crystals has remained a significant challenge due to the absence of systematic design methodologies. Herein, we present a novel organic-inorganic coordination strategy that combines π-conjugated organic ligands ([C12H8N2]) with inorganic Sb-based polyhedra featuring stereochemically active lone pairs. This approach facilitates the formation of the first coplanar double Sb-N coordination framework, enabling the synthesis of two new birefringent hybrid crystals: (C12H8N2)SbF2(H2PO3) (PNSP) and (C12H8N2)SbF3 (PNSF).

Engineered covalent triazine framework inverse opal beads for enhanced photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction.

J Colloid Interface Sci

March 2025

School of Chemical Engineering and Materials, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, PR China. Electronic address:

The development of highly ordered covalent triazine framework (CTF) materials with tailored structures is crucial for advancing functional material applications. Herein, we introduce a novel approach to fabricate covalent triazine framework inverse opal (CTF-IO) photonic crystal beads via a microfluidic-assisted assembly method and pore-confined polymerization. The polymerization process occurs within the interstitial voids of SiO nanoparticles (NPs) photonic crystals, where spatial confinement dictates the growth and arrangement of the CTF framework, resulting in a robust and precisely ordered inverse opal (IO) structure.

Developing multifunctional structural color hydrogel skin without sacrificing the unique periodic structure of photonic crystals is still a challenge due to the photonic bandgap limitation. Taking advantage of the synergistic effect of electrostatic repulsion and electronic conductivity, an intelligent structural color hydrogel skin with electrical and photonic sensing capabilities has been developed by doping MXene (TiCT) nanosheets and adhesive functional groups (nucleobases) into colloidal particle solutions. The introduction of MXene nanosheets could improve both the stability and electrical conductivity of the colloidal particle solutions, resulting in a conductive hydrogel with bright structural colors.

This study investigates the effectiveness of nine inorganic semiconductor crystals - LiGaSe, LiInSe, CsHgInS, SnS, GaTe, BiI, SbTe, TlCdI, and TlBr - for radiation detection applications based on photon and charged particle (electrons, protons, and heavy ions) interaction parameters. Mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), half value layer (HVL), relaxation length (λ), effective atomic number (Z), electron density (N), equivalent atomic number (Z), and exposure buildup factor (EBF) were computed using PAGEX software. These results, along with their intrinsic efficiencies calculated, were compared with that of standard materials (NaI(Tl), CdZnTe, and CdTe).

Layer-Dependent Charge-State Lifetime of Single Se Vacancies in WSe_{2}.

Phys Rev Lett

Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, nanotech@surfaces Laboratory, Dübendorf 8600, Switzerland.

Defect engineering in two-dimensional semiconductors has been exploited to tune the optoelectronic properties and introduce new quantum states in the band gap. Chalcogen vacancies in transition metal dichalcogenides in particular have been found to strongly impact charge carrier concentration and mobility in 2D transistors as well as feature subgap emission and single-photon response. In this Letter, we investigate the layer-dependent charge-state lifetime of Se vacancies in WSe_{2}.
