As a narrow band semiconductor at room temperature and a metallic material above ∼68 °C, functional VO films are widely investigated for smart windows, whereas their potential for ultraviolet-visible-infrared (UV-vis-IR) broad spectral photodetectors has not been efficiently studied. In this report, photodetectors based on VO-ZnO nanocrystal composite films were prepared by nanocrystal-mist (NC-mist) deposition. An enhanced photodetection switching ratio was achieved covering the ultraviolet to infrared wavelength. Due to the synergetic effect of nanosize, surface, phase transition, percolation threshold, and the band structure of the heterojunction, the transfer and transport of photogenerated carriers modulate the device performance. This study probes new chances of applying VO-semiconductor-based nanocomposites for broad spectral photodetectors.

The NMR signals from protein sidechains are rich in information about intra- and inter-molecular interactions, but their detection can be complicated due to spectral overlap as well as conformational and hydrogen exchange. In this work, we demonstrate a protocol for multi-dimensional solid-state NMR spectral editing of signals from basic sidechains based on Hadamard matrix encoding. The Hadamard method acquires multi-dimensional experiments in such a way that both the backbone and under-sampled sidechain signals can be decoded for unambiguous editing in the N spectral frequency dimension.

To date, few systematic approach has been established for predicting catalytic performance by analyzing the spectral information of molecules adsorbed on photocatalyst surfaces. Effective charge transfer (CT) between the semiconductor photocatalysts and surface-absorbed molecules is essential for enhancing catalytic activity and optimizing light energy utilization. This study aimed to validate the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on the CT enhancement mechanism in investigating the CT process during semiconductor photocatalytic C-C coupling model reactions.

The EBIS achieves a temporal resolution of ∼10s (∼ 100,000 frames/s), while the CIS provides diffraction-limited spatial resolution. A diffractive optical element encodes spectral information into a diffractogram, which is recorded by the CIS.

The proposed method leverages the properties of laser sources with high spatial coherence. A theoretical framework for the interferometer scheme is presented, along with an analytical solution for determining the far-field interference pattern, which is validated through both optical propagation simulations and experimental results.

Designing a conventional refractive microscope objective that provides well-corrected imaging over a broad spectral range can be challenging, if not impossible. In contrast, reflective optics are inherently achromatic, so a system composed entirely of reflective elements is free from chromatic aberrations and, as a result, can image over an ultra-wide spectral range with perfect color correction.
