Halide double perovskites present a new branch for versatile optoelectronic devices because of their huge structural compatibility and environmental friendliness, whereas nonlinear optics (NLO) devices remain blank for this fascinating family. Simultaneously, the precise patterning of single-crystalline perovskite microwire arrays remains a challenge for the integration of NLO devices. Herein, we designed lead-free chiral 2D double perovskites with the nonsymmetrical structure presenting second-harmonic generation (SHG). Furthermore, perovskite single-crystalline arrays with regulated geometry, pure orientation, and high crystallinity are prepared using the capillary-bridge confined assembly technique. The efficient SHG originates from the asymmetric crystal structure and high crystallinity of the microwire arrays. Compared with their polycrystalline thin-film counterparts, linearly polarized SHG and a higher SHG conversion efficiency are demonstrated based on microwire arrays. The results not only expand the applications of lead-free double perovskites in the NLO-integrated fields but also provide a viable way for lead-free optoelectronic devices.

Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA.
Micromagnetic stimulation (μMS) using small, implantable microcoils is a promising method for achieving neuronal activation with high spatial resolution and low toxicity. Herein, we report a microcoil array for localized activation of cortical neurons and retinal ganglion cells. We developed a computational model to relate the electric field gradient (activating function) to the geometry and arrangement of microcoils, and selected a design that produced an anisotropic region of activation <50 μm wide.

Multichannel arrays capable of real-time sensing of neuromodulators in the brain are crucial for gaining insights into new aspects of neural communication. However, measuring neurochemicals, such as dopamine, at low concentrations over large areas has proven challenging. In this research, we demonstrate a novel approach that leverages the scalability and processing power offered by microelectrode array devices integrated with a functionalized, high-density microwire bundle, enabling electrochemical sensing at an unprecedented scale and spatial resolution.
