Four-dimensional Fano quiver flag zero loci.

ABSTRACT: Quiver flag zero loci are subvarieties of quiver flag varieties cut out by sections of representation theoretic vector bundles. We prove the Abelian/non-Abelian correspondence in this context: this allows us to compute genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of quiver flag zero loci. We determine the ample cone of a quiver flag variety, and disprove a conjecture of Craw. In the appendices (which can be found in the electronic supplementary material), which are joint work with Tom Coates and Alexander Kasprzyk, we use these results to find four-dimensional Fano manifolds that occur as quiver flag zero loci in ambient spaces of dimension up to 8, and compute their quantum periods. In this way, we find at least 141 new four-dimensional Fano manifolds.

Coherent Fano resonances in a plasmonic nanocluster enhance optical four-wave mixing.

Project description:Plasmonic nanoclusters, an ordered assembly of coupled metallic nanoparticles, support unique spectral features known as Fano resonances due to the coupling between their subradiant and superradiant plasmon modes. Within the Fano resonance, absorption is significantly enhanced, giving rise to highly localized, intense near fields with the potential to enhance nonlinear optical processes. Here, we report a structure supporting the coherent oscillation of two distinct Fano resonances within an individual plasmonic nanocluster. We show how this coherence enhances the optical four-wave mixing process in comparison with other double-resonant plasmonic clusters that lack this property. A model that explains the observed four-wave mixing features is proposed, which is generally applicable to any third-order process in plasmonic nanostructures. With a larger effective susceptibility ?(3) relative to existing nonlinear optical materials, this coherent double-resonant nanocluster offers a strategy for designing high-performance third-order nonlinear optical media.

Molecular behavior of zero-dimensional perovskites.

Project description:Low-dimensional perovskites offer a rare opportunity to investigate lattice dynamics and charge carrier behavior in bulk quantum-confined solids, in addition to them being the leading materials in optoelectronic applications. In particular, zero-dimensional (0D) inorganic perovskites of the Cs4PbX6 (X = Cl, Br, or I) kind have crystal structures with isolated lead halide octahedra [PbX6]4- surrounded by Cs+ cations, allowing the 0D crystals to exhibit the intrinsic properties of an individual octahedron. Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, we studied the electronic and optical properties of the prototypical 0D perovskite Cs4PbBr6. Our results underline that this 0D perovskite behaves akin to a molecule, demonstrating low electrical conductivity and mobility as well as large polaron binding energy. Density functional theory calculations and transient absorption measurements of Cs4PbBr6 perovskite films reveal the polaron band absorption and strong polaron localization features of the material. A short polaron lifetime of ~2 ps is observed in femtosecond transient absorption experiments, which can be attributed to the fast lattice relaxation of the octahedra and the weak interactions among them.

Application of Zero-Dimensional Nanomaterials in Biosensing.

Project description:Zero-dimensional (0D) nanomaterials, including graphene quantum dots (GQDs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), fullerenes, inorganic quantum dots (QDs), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), noble metal nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and polymer dots (Pdots), have attracted extensive research interest in the field of biosensing in recent years. Benefiting from the ultra-small size, quantum confinement effect, excellent physical and chemical properties and good biocompatibility, 0D nanomaterials have shown great potential in ion detection, biomolecular recognition, disease diagnosis and pathogen detection. Here we first introduce the structures and properties of different 0D nanomaterials. On this basis, recent progress and application examples of 0D nanomaterials in the field of biosensing are discussed. In the last part, we summarize the research status of 0D nanomaterials in the field of biosensing and anticipate the development prospects and future challenges in this field.

Ripening of two-dimensional colloidal CdSe nanocrystals into zero-dimensional nanodots.

Project description:Understanding the ripening of two-dimensional (2D) colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) is important for the controllable synthesis of NCs with desired morphology and properties. In this study, we systematically investigate the ripening behavior of the 2D CdSe NCs in the presence of a short-chain acetate ligand and a long-chain oleate ligand. We find that a low acetate/oleate ratio, a low Cd/Se ratio, and a low monomer concentration help in the ripening of the 2D NCs to form 0D NCs. Moreover, a porous nanosheet intermediate is observed when there is a high Cd/Se ratio, whereas in the case of a low Cd/Se ratio, the ripening starts from the edge of the nanosheets, resulting in a saw-like nanosheet intermediate. These findings provide necessary insights into the growth and ripening of 2D CdSe NCs that allow for the controlled synthesis of 0D and 2D CdSe NCs.

Wide range zero-thermal-quenching ultralong phosphorescence from zero-dimensional metal halide hybrids.

Project description:Materials with ultralong phosphorescence have wide-ranging application prospects in biological imaging, light-emitting devices, and anti-counterfeiting. Usually, molecular phosphorescence is significantly quenched with increasing temperature, rendering it difficult to achieve high-efficiency and ultralong room temperature phosphorescence. Herein, we spearhead this challenging effort to design thermal-quenching resistant phosphorescent materials based on an effective intermediate energy buffer and energy transfer route. Co-crystallized assembly of zero-dimensional metal halide organic-inorganic hybrids enables ultralong room temperature phosphorescence of (Ph4P)2Cd2Br6 that maintains luminescent stability across a wide temperature range from 100 to 320 K (ΔT = 220 °C) with the room temperature phosphorescence quantum yield of 62.79% and lifetime of 37.85 ms, which exceeds those of other state-of-the-art systems. Therefore, this work not only describes a design for thermal-quenching-resistant luminescent materials with high efficiency, but also demonstrates an effective way to obtain intelligent systems with long-lasting room temperature phosphorescence for optical storage and logic compilation applications.

Fano meets Stokes: Four-order-of-magnitude enhancement of asymmetric Brillouin light scattering spectra.

Project description:Observation of Fano resonances in various physical phenomena is usually ascribed to the coupling of discrete states with background continuum, as it has already been reported for various physical phenomena. Here, we report on Fano lineshapes of nonthermal GHz phonons generated and observed with pumped Brillouin light scattering in gold-silicon thin membranes, overlapping the broad zero-shift background of yet questionable origin. The system's broken mid-plane symmetry enabled the generation of coherent quasi-symmetric and quasi-antisymmetric Lamb acoustic waves/phonons, leading to the four orders-of-magnitude enhancement of Brillouin light scattering. Notably, the membrane asymmetry resulted also in the mode-dependent Stokes and anti-Stokes Fano lineshapes asymmetry.

An ultrasensitive Fano resonance biosensor using two dimensional hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets: theoretical analysis.

Project description:This study proposed a novel Fano resonance (FR) biosensor with ultrahigh detection sensitivity by integrating two dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets with a plasmonic silver film-silicon hybrid nanostructure. Owing to its ultralow-loss in surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), 2D h-BN nanosheets can act as a planar photon waveguide (PWG) for generating energy level splitting. Notably, both asymmetric FR sharp lines and plasmon induced transparency (PIT) can be produced by modulating the coupling strength between the planar PWG mode provided by h-BN nanosheets and the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode in the silver film-silicon hybrid nanostructure. Compared with conventional phase-modulation SPR biosensors, our proposed configuration based on Fano resonance can produce ultrahigh reflectivity of 0.934 and overcome the limitation of quasi-darkness reflectivity which is difficult for further phase extraction. More importantly, our proposed FR configuration can provide a promising phase detection sensitivity as high as 3.13 × 106 degree per RIU (refractive index unit, RIU), which is enhanced by almost 100 times compared with conventional phase-modulation SPR biosensors. In addition, our proposed configuration has also shown the characteristics of multiple-order Fano resonances, largely depending on the partial coupling between the SPP mode and the different-order PWG mode. Our proposed FR biosensor can provide a highly promising candidate for designing a multiple-order FR platform for performing ultrasensitive detection.

Charge carrier localised in zero-dimensional (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9 clusters.

Project description:A metal-organic hybrid perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) with three-dimensional framework of metal-halide octahedra has been reported as a low-cost, solution-processable absorber for a thin-film solar cell with a power-conversion efficiency over 20%. Low-dimensional layered perovskites with metal halide slabs separated by the insulating organic layers are reported to show higher stability, but the efficiencies of the solar cells are limited by the confinement of excitons. In order to explore the confinement and transport of excitons in zero-dimensional metal-organic hybrid materials, a highly orientated film of (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9 with nanometre-sized core clusters of Bi2I93- surrounded by insulating CH3NH3+ was prepared via solution processing. The (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9 film shows highly anisotropic photoluminescence emission and excitation due to the large proportion of localised excitons coupled with delocalised excitons from intercluster energy transfer. The abrupt increase in photoluminescence quantum yield at excitation energy above twice band gap could indicate a quantum cutting due to the low dimensionality.Understanding the confinement and transport of excitons in low dimensional systems will aid the development of next generation photovoltaics. Via photophysical studies Ni et al. observe 'quantum cutting' in 0D metal-organic hybrid materials based on methylammonium bismuth halide (CH3NH3)3Bi2I9.

Revolutionizing fuel production through biologically synthesized zero-dimensional nanoparticles.

Project description:The sustainable management of wastewater and the production of clean fuel with a reduced carbon footprint require innovative methods, including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants and hydrogen generation. To achieve this, biosynthesized photocatalysts are necessary, with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) being a promising candidate for achieving this goal. In this study, CQDs were prepared from water caltrop peels and a composite of greenly synthesized CQDs with copper selenide (CuSe) was used for the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants and production of fuel. Thymol blue (TB) and Congo red (CR) were chosen as model dyes for degradation studies, with optimized reaction conditions being determined by varying the dose, pH, intensity, and concentration of dyes. The composite (CuSe@CQDs) showed a degradation rate of 99.4% and 97.8% for TB and CR, respectively, within 60 minutes, with a corresponding hydrogen production rate of 2360 and 1875 μmol g-1 h-1. The yield of hydrogen production using the composite was 35.7 and 29 times greater than that of CuSe alone for TB and CR, respectively. Spectroscopic techniques such as XRD, UV-Vis, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, FTIR, BET, and TGA were used to characterize the composite, and the results revealed that the composite had superior degradation rates compared to CuSe alone, with the degradation rate being enhanced by about three times. GCMS analysis was used to investigate the intermediate and possible degradation pathways. Overall, this study highlights the potential of biosynthesized CQDs as effective photocatalysts for the sustainable management of wastewater and production of fuel.
