Two-dimensional (2D) elementary tellurium (Te) has attracted intensive attention due to its potential applications in short-wave infrared photodetector devices. Here, we report hydrothermally synthesized 2D Te nanoflakes for short-wave infrared photodetectors with high performance. A Te-based photodetector exhibits a peak responsivity of 51.85 A W at a 1550 nm wavelength, attributed to the efficient absorption of the phonons of 2D Te nanoflakes. Besides, the rising and decay time of the Te photodetector is calculated to be ∼19 μs and ∼21 μs, respectively, due to the rapid diffusion of charge carriers. In addition, Te-photodetectors exhibit a high specific detectivity (*) of 1.88 × 10 Jones and a superior external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4148%. Our findings have demonstrated the development of high-performance short-wave infrared photodetectors with fast responses based on 2D Te nanoflakes.

, a traditional Miao medicine with significant clinical potential, is rich in polysaccharides. Despite its importance, there is a scarcity of research on the structure and activities of these polysaccharides. In this study, polysaccharides from (GJPs) were extracted using various methods, including heated reflux extraction (HRE), acidic extraction (ACE), alkaline extraction (AAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), enzymatic extraction (EAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), and deep eutectic solvents extraction (DESE).

Supercontinuum generation in scintillator crystals.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Laser Research Center, Vilnius University, Saulėtekio Avenue 10, LT-10223, Vilnius, Lithuania.

We present a comparative experimental study of supercontinuum generation in undoped scintillator crystals: bismuth germanate (BGO), yttrium orthosilicate (YSO), lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO), lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) and gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), pumped by 180 fs fundamental harmonic pulses of an amplified Yb:KGW laser. In addition to these materials, experiments in yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG), potassium gadolinium tungstate (KGW) and lithium tantalate (LT) were performed under identical experimental settings (focusing geometry and sample thickness), which served for straightforward comparison of supercontinuum generation performances. The threshold and optimal (that produces optimized red-shifted spectral extent) pump pulse energies for supercontinuum generation were evaluated from detailed measurements of spectral broadening dynamics.
