We demonstrate both experimentally and analytically a strong coupling phenomenon between moiré-type plasmons and phonons within moiré superlattices. We study the dependence of moiré wave vector and the twist angle and numerically simulate and experimentally fabricate metallic moiré superlattices on a suspended thin film SiO substrate at different twist angles. The results suggest that the coupling strength initially increases and then decreases with increasing twist angles. When the twist angle is at 16.26°, we achieve a moiré-type plasmon-phonon strong coupling with a Rabi splitting strength approaching 45 meV. We further analyze the coupling system by utilizing the coupled-harmonic-oscillators theory and quantum mechanical theory. The calculations and numerical simulations further agree with the experimental results. The proposed strong coupling system has the potential to contribute substantially to electromagnetic field controlling and coupling.

Heterostructuring of two-dimensional materials offers a robust platform to precisely tune optoelectronic properties through interlayer interactions. Here we achieved a strong interlayer coupling in a double-layered heterostructure of sulfur isotope-modified adjacent MoS monolayers two-step chemical vapor deposition growth. The strong interlayer coupling in the MoS(S)/MoS(S) was affirmed by low-frequency shear and breathing modes in the Raman spectra.

This study sought to validate the external calibration curve (CAL) method for iodine analysis in 26 selected foods and then to compare the test result with the isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). Iodine was extracted by tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and determined by ICP-MS using CAL and IDMS methods. The results showed that iodine determination using the IDMS method had higher precision than the CAL method (LOD of the method were 0.

Van der Waals (vdW) contact has been widely regarded as one of the most potential strategies for exploiting low-resistance metal-semiconductor junctions (MSJs) based on atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), but this method is still not efficient due to weak metal-TMD interfacial interactions. Therefore, an understanding of interfacial interactions between metals and TMDs is essential for achieving low-resistance contacts with weak Fermi level pinning (FLP). Herein, we report how the interfacial interactions between metals and TMDs affect the electrical contacts by considering more than 90 MSJs consisting of a semiconducting TMD channel and different types of metal electrodes, including bulk metals, MXenes, and metallic TMDs.

Background: HOPZ-ACTIVATED RESISTANCE 1 (ZAR1) is a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein functioning as a recognition hub to initiate effector-triggered immunity against bacterial pathogens. To initiate defense, ZAR1 associates with different HOPZ-ETI-DEFICIENT 1 (ZED1)-Related Kinases (ZRKs) to form resistosomes to indirectly perceive effector-induced perturbations. Few studies have focused on the phylogenomic characteristics of ZAR1 and ZRK immune gene families and their evolutionary relationships.

The integrated frequency comb generator based on Kerr parametric oscillation has led to chip-scale, gigahertz-spaced combs with new applications spanning hyperscale telecommunications, low-noise microwave synthesis, light detection and ranging, and astrophysical spectrometer calibration. Recent progress in lithium niobate (LiNbO) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has resulted in chip-scale, electro-optic (EO) frequency combs, offering precise comb-line positioning and simple operation without relying on the formation of dissipative Kerr solitons. However, current integrated EO combs face limited spectral coverage due to the large microwave power required to drive the non-resonant capacitive electrodes and the strong intrinsic birefringence of LiNbO.
