Reactive Magnetron Sputtering of Large‐Scale 3D Aluminum‐Based Plasmonic Nanostructure for Both Light‐Induced Thermal Imaging and Photo‐Thermoelectric Conversion

An Al/AlN plasmonic nanostructure is fabricated by a reactive magnetron sputtering method. The unique 3D nanostructure exhibits excellent light-trapping properties due to the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances and multiple reflections. As a result, excellent light-induced thermal imaging and photo-thermoelectric conversion are achieved,...

Role of the Intramolecular‐Locking Strategy in the Construction of Organic Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters with Rotation‐Restricted Acceptors

As one of the important fragments for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, the development of acceptor units with rigid structure deserves in-depth understanding. Herein, a comprehensive summary of the design and development of rigid TADF acceptors with “intramolecular locks” including covalent bonds, coordination bonds, and non-covalent...

Anharmonic Exciton‐Phonon Coupling in Metal‐Organic Chalcogenides Hybrid Quantum Wells

Hybrid quantum wells based on metal-organic chalcogenides (MOCs) host tightly bound 2D excitons in a bulk crystal. The exciton dynamics can be visualized with transient absorption signals whose temporal oscillations reveal coherent exciton-phonon coupling. This work demonstrates the anharmonic behavior of the low-energy optical phonons and their impact...

Generation of the Planar Solitons Using Thermal Trapping of a Disclination in Nematic Liquid Crystals and Their Applications

A thermal laser tweezer is introduced to trap and move a disclination under the low anchoring condition, which enables us to generate solitons as if they were drawn and to control them actively. To demonstrate potential applications of the solitons, microsized cargo delivery and polarization diffraction gratings are presented and prove the applicability...

Non‐Equilibrium Bose–Einstein Condensation of Exciton‐Polaritons in Silicon Metasurfaces

The first demonstration of a room-temperature polariton condensate on an all-dielectric metasurface is presented. Thanks to the engineered low radiative losses of the silicon metasurface, and the efficient relaxation of the dye, a condensate is observed at the low threshold of P th = 8.2 µJ cm−2. The presence of radiative pumping allows to tune the...
