The manipulation of femtosecond plasmon resonance and lifetime in a nanoantenna is crucial for the realization of integrated and miniaturized plasmonic circuits. Here, we have used FDTD simulations to study the plasmonic resonance and lifetime variation of the far-end (P) and near-end (P) hotspots of size-gradient nanoresonators. We found that the near-field spectrum of P is red-shifted compared to P due to the phase retardation effect. By capturing the ultrafast dynamics of both hotspots, we confirm that these phenomena are governed by the transient evolution of the plasmonic field in the forced oscillation regime. Furthermore, the lifetimes of plasmonic hotspots scale directly with their near-field intensities. Meanwhile, the lifetime τ is always larger than that of τ in the same nanoresonator because of the smaller non-radiative damping of hotspot P. Our results provide a basis for the miniaturization of plasmonic nanoresonators.

Loading with non-metal cocatalysts to regulate interfacial charge transfer and separation has become a prominent focus in current research. In this study, g-CN/CNT composites loaded with non-metallic cocatalysts were prepared through pyrolysis using urea and CNTs. Various characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis, fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy (TRPL), electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, were employed to analyze the sample's microstructure, phase composition, elemental chemical states, and photoelectronic properties.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) metals exhibit remarkable light-absorbing property and unique catalytic activity, attracting significant attention in photocatalysts recently. However, the practical application of plasmonic nanometal is hindered by challenge of energetic electrons extraction and low selectivity. The energetic carriers generated in nanometal under illumination have extremely short lifetimes, leading to rapid energy loss.

In this research, the photophysical properties of metformin hydrochloride (MF-HCl) were studied using spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The interaction between metformin hydrochloride and caffeine is essential for understanding the pharmacokinetics of metformin, particularly in populations with high caffeine consumption. Metformin is a first-line medication for managing type 2 diabetes, while caffeine is a widely consumed dietary stimulant.

Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes spinal cord swelling and occlusion of the subarachnoid space (SAS). SAS occlusion can change pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which could have acute clinical management implications. This study aimed to characterise SAS occlusion and investigate CSF dynamics over 14 days post-SCI in the pig.
