Cylindrical Al Nano-Dimer Induced Polarization in Deep UV Region.

ABSTRACT: The polarization properties of asymmetric plasmonic nanostructures originating from optical anisotropy show great application prospects in many fields, such as display, sensing, filtering, and detection. Here, we report the realization of polarization control in the deep ultraviolet (UV) region using Al nano-dimer structures. The simulation results indicated that the polarization effect was generated by the modulation of inter-coupling between the quadrupole plasmon resonances of the asymmetric dimer. By further optimizing the size and gap of the dimer, the extinction in the 200-nm deep UV region obtained a polarization ratio of 18%. This research is helpful for understanding the resonance hybridization of high-order surface plasmons in UV region and is of great significance to the emerging polarized micro-nano photonics fields, such as spin optoelectronics and deep UV optoelectronic devices.

Nanoimprint lithography of Al nanovoids for deep-UV SERS.

Project description:Deep-ultraviolet surface-enhanced Raman scattering (UV-SERS) is a promising technique for bioimaging and detection because many biological molecules possess UV absorption lines leading to strongly resonant Raman scattering. Here, Al nanovoid substrates are developed by combining nanoimprint lithography of etched polymer/silica opal films with electron beam evaporation, to give a high-performance sensing platform for UV-SERS. Enhancement by more than 3 orders of magnitude in the UV-SERS performance was obtained from the DNA base adenine, matching well the UV plasmonic optical signatures and simulations, demonstrating its suitability for biodetection.

Additively Manufactured Al/SiC Cylindrical Structures by Laser Metal Deposition.

Project description:Preliminary characterization of the microstructure of Al/SiCp composites prepared by Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) was analyzed, and the microhardness and wear behavior of the materials manufactured have been evaluated. It has been determined that the combined effect of the laser speed and power is decisive for the fabrication process. The microstructure characterization shows that the presence of hygroscopic Al4C3 can be avoided by adding Ti to the composite matrix. The wear behavior of the LMD samples and their microhardness have been compared with Powder Metallurgy samples with the same composition. The LMD samples showed higher hardness and wear resistance.

Cylindrical vector beam multiplexer/demultiplexer using off-axis polarization control.

Project description:The emergence of cylindrical vector beam (CVB) multiplexing has opened new avenues for high-capacity optical communication. Although several configurations have been developed to couple/separate CVBs, the CVB multiplexer/demultiplexer remains elusive due to lack of effective off-axis polarization control technologies. Here we report a straightforward approach to realize off-axis polarization control for CVB multiplexing/demultiplexing based on a metal-dielectric-metal metasurface. We show that the left- and right-handed circularly polarized (LHCP/RHCP) components of CVBs are independently modulated via spin-to-orbit interactions by the properly designed metasurface, and then simultaneously multiplexed and demultiplexed due to the reversibility of light path and the conservation of vector mode. We also show that the proposed multiplexers/demultiplexers are broadband (from 1310 to 1625 nm) and compatible with wavelength-division-multiplexing. As a proof of concept, we successfully demonstrate a four-channel CVB multiplexing communication, combining wavelength-division-multiplexing and polarization-division-multiplexing with a transmission rate of 1.56 Tbit/s and a bit-error-rate of 10-6 at the receive power of -21.6 dBm. This study paves the way for CVB multiplexing/demultiplexing and may benefit high-capacity CVB communication.

Precise Ultrasound Neuromodulation in a Deep Brain Region Using Nano Gas Vesicles as Actuators.

Project description:Ultrasound is a promising new modality for non-invasive neuromodulation. Applied transcranially, it can be focused down to the millimeter or centimeter range. The ability to improve the treatment's spatial resolution to a targeted brain region could help to improve its effectiveness, depending upon the application. The present paper details a neurostimulation scheme using gas-filled nanostructures, gas vesicles (GVs), as actuators for improving the efficacy and precision of ultrasound stimuli. Sonicated primary neurons display dose-dependent, repeatable Ca2+ responses, closely synced to stimuli, and increased nuclear expression of the activation marker c-Fos in the presence of GVs. GV-mediated ultrasound triggered rapid and reversible Ca2+ responses in vivo and could selectively evoke neuronal activation in a deep-seated brain region. Further investigation indicate that mechanosensitive ion channels are important mediators of this effect. GVs themselves and the treatment scheme are also found not to induce significant cytotoxicity, apoptosis, or membrane poration in treated cells. Altogether, this study demonstrates a simple and effective method to achieve enhanced and better-targeted neurostimulation with non-invasive low-intensity ultrasound.

Label-free bacterial imaging with deep-UV-laser-induced native fluorescence.

Project description:We introduce a near-real-time optical imaging method that works via the detection of the intrinsic fluorescence of life forms upon excitation by deep-UV (DUV) illumination. A DUV (<250-nm) source enables the detection of microbes in their native state on natural materials, avoiding background autofluorescence and without the need for fluorescent dyes or tags. We demonstrate that DUV-laser-induced native fluorescence can detect bacteria on opaque surfaces at spatial scales ranging from tens of centimeters to micrometers and from communities to single cells. Given exposure times of 100 ?s and low excitation intensities, this technique enables rapid imaging of bacterial communities and cells without irreversible sample alteration or destruction. We also demonstrate the first noninvasive detection of bacteria on in situ-incubated environmental experimental samples from the deep ocean (Lo'ihi Seamount), showing the use of DUV native fluorescence for in situ detection in the deep biosphere and other nutrient-limited environments.

Direct Measurement of Polarization-Induced Fields in GaN/AlN by Nano-Beam Electron Diffraction.

Project description:The built-in piezoelectric fields in group III-nitrides can act as road blocks on the way to maximizing the efficiency of opto-electronic devices. In order to overcome this limitation, a proper characterization of these fields is necessary. In this work nano-beam electron diffraction in scanning transmission electron microscopy mode has been used to simultaneously measure the strain state and the induced piezoelectric fields in a GaN/AlN multiple quantum well system.

Spin transport in polarization induced two-dimensional electron gas channel in c-GaN nano-wedges.

Project description:A two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), which has recently been shown to develop in the central vertical plane of a wedge-shaped c-oriented GaN nanowall due to spontaneous polarization effect, offers a unique scenario, where the symmetry between the conduction and valence band is preserved over the entire confining potential. This results in the suppression of Rashba coupling even when the shape of the wedge is not symmetric. Here, for such a 2DEG channel, relaxation time for different spin projections is calculated as a function of donor concentration and gate bias. Our study reveals a strong dependence of the relaxation rate on the spin-orientation and density of carriers in the channel. Most interestingly, relaxation of spin oriented along the direction of confinement has been found to be completely switched off. Upon applying a suitable bias at the gate, the process can be switched on again. Exploiting this fascinating effect, an electrically driven spin-transistor has been proposed.

Project description:Tissue-specific transcriptional profiling of the abscission layer (AL) at the base of young flower in rice using laser micro-dissection: NIL(qSH1) vs. Nipponbare. We used two rice varieties, NIL(qSH1) and Nipponbare. NIL(qSH1) is a nearly isogenic line containing the seed shattering gene qSH1. Seed shattering is easy in NIL(qSH1), but it is not in Nipponbare. So, we used some stages of young flower in NIL(qSH1) and some in Nipponbare. Four regions: 1. abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), 2. upper abscission region of NIL(qSH1), 3. lower abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), and 4. abscission layer region of Nipponbare. Sample experiments: NIL(qSH1) AL vs. Nipponbare AL, NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) upper region of AL, and NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) lower region of AL.

Motion of a nano-spheroid in a cylindrical vessel flow: Brownian and hydrodynamic interactions.

Project description:We study the motion of a buoyant or a nearly neutrally buoyant nano-sized spheroid in a fluid filled tube without or with an imposed pressure gradient (weak Poiseuille flow). The fluctuating hydrodynamics approach and the deterministic method are both employed. We ensure that the fluctuation-dissipation relation and the principle of thermal equipartition of energy are both satisfied. The major focus is on the effect of the confining boundary. Results for the velocity and the angular velocity autocorrelations (VACF and AVACF), the diffusivities and the drag and the lift forces as functions of the shape, the aspect ratio, the inclination angle and the proximity to the wall are presented. For the parameters considered, the boundary modifies the VACF and AVACF such that three distinct regimes are discernible - an initial exponential decay followed by an algebraic decay culminating in a second exponential decay. The first is due to the thermal noise, the algebraic regime is due both to the thermal noise and the hydrodynamic correlations, while the second exponential decay shows the effect of momentum reflection from the confining wall. Our predictions display excellent comparison with published results for the algebraic regime (the only regime for which earlier results exist). We also discuss the role of the off-diagonal elements of the mobility and the diffusivity tensors that enable the quantifications of the degree of lift and margination of the nanocarrier. Our study covers a range of parameters that are of wide applicability in nanotechnology, microrheology and in targeted drug delivery.
