The mechanism of light-matter interaction in 2D materials challenges the knowledge of materials physics, which drives the rapid development of materials synthesis and device applications. 2D materials coupled with plasmonic effects show impressive optical characteristics, involving efficient charge transfer, plas- monic hot electrons doping, enhanced light-emitting, and ultrasensitive photodetection. Here, we briefly review the recent remarkable progress of 2D materials, mainly on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, focusing on their tunable optical properties and improved opto-electronic devices with plasmonic effects. The mechanism of plasmon enhanced light-matter interaction in 2D materials is elaborated in detail, and the state-of-the-art of device applications is compre- hensively described. In the future, the field of 2D materials holds great promise as an important platform for materials science and opto-electronic engineering, enabling an emerging interdisciplinary research field spanning from clean energy to information technology.展开更多

The expression of OsPIL 11 was organ-specific and was regulated by leaf development, abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA). To further explore the role of OsPIL 11 in plant light signal transduction, a plant expression vector of OsPILll was constructed and introduced into tobacco. When grown under continuous red light, OsPILll-overexpressed transgenic tobacco exhibited shorter hypocotyls and larger cotyledons and leaves compared to wild-type seedlings. When grown under continuous far-red light, however, transgenic and wild-type seedlings showed similar phenotypes. These results indicate that OsPILll is involved in red light induced de-etiolation, but not in far-red light induced de-etiolation in transgenic tobacco, which lays the foundation for dissecting the function of OsPIL11 in phytochrome-mediated light signal transduction in rice.展开更多

We always see plants to be green in summer until in autumn factors external to our vision, such as changes in the length of daylight and temperature, cause the break-down of chlorophyll and, in turn, spectacular changes in plant’s colors. Likewise, the photocurrent produced in solar panels or field effect transistors achieves a steady state magnitude shortly after the start of the illumination. The steady state photocurrent lasts until the illumination stops. Understanding the origin of the steady state response of a device or light harvesting (LH) system to illumination with electromagnetic (EM) waves motivates the research presented in this work. In our experiments, we used capacitors as LH systems and illuminated them with infrared (IR) light over an 80 hours time period. We investigated the interaction between light and matter by monitoring versus time the voltage output of the capacitors. By combining modeling and experimental observations, we concluded that the steady state voltage is established soon after the start of the illumination as the consequence of the law of conservation of energy. We also found that the magnitude of the voltage in the steady state depends on the power and period of the illuminating IR light, and on the capacitance of the capacitor. When light’s power undergoes fluctuations, also the voltage produced by the capacitor and the surface charge density on the capacitors do so. These findings suggest that the law of conservation of energy has a significant repercussion when light is absorbed by matter in the steady state, for example in the mechanism of vision in vertebrates. Likewise, these findings are true when light is emitted from matter, for example in the mechanism of formation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).展开更多

Motivation: We aim at verifying that the total energy conserved in the interaction is <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Pτ, i.e.<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> the product of the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> times the period τ of the X-rays. Hypothesis: Our investigation relies on the hypothesis that the voltage responsivity π<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><sub>V<span style="white-space:nowrap;"></sub> of the capacitor should be small, according to previous research. The parameter π<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><sub>V<span style="white-space:nowrap;"></sub> is the ratio between the voltage produced and the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> of the X-rays, and measures the performance of the capacitor in response to the X-rays. Method: We measure the voltage produced by the capacitor in response to the X-rays, and then determine the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> of the X-rays according to a procedure already assessed with infrared and visible light. Results: In our experiments, <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> turns out to be in the range between 10<sup><span style="color:#4F4F4F;font-family:-apple-system, " font-size:16px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"="">-3 </sup>W to 10<sup>0</sup> W. Our procedure enables us to unveil the relationship between the average power P and the effective dose, an important operating parameter used to measure the delivery of X-rays in practical applications, such as standard X-ray medical imaging machines. Conclusions: We believe that our procedure paves the way for designing a possible X-ray power-meter, a tool presently missing in the market of X-ray characterization tools.展开更多

By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon–magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.展开更多

文摘This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in light-material interactions(LMIs),focusing on lasers and flash lights for energy conversion and storage applications.We discuss intricate LMI parameters such as light sources,interaction time,and fluence to elucidate their importance in material processing.In addition,this study covers various light-induced photothermal and photochemical processes ranging from melting,crystallization,and ablation to doping and synthesis,which are essential for developing energy materials and devices.Finally,we present extensive energy conversion and storage applications demonstrated by LMI technologies,including energy harvesters,sensors,capacitors,and batteries.Despite the several challenges associated with LMIs,such as complex mechanisms,and high-degrees of freedom,we believe that substantial contributions and potential for the commercialization of future energy systems can be achieved by advancing optical technologies through comprehensive academic research and multidisciplinary collaborations.

文摘In the last decade, the rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials has attracted a tremendous amount of interest for the entire field of photonics and opto-electronics. The mechanism of light-matter interaction in 2D materials challenges the knowledge of materials physics, which drives the rapid development of materials synthesis and device applications. 2D materials coupled with plasmonic effects show impressive optical characteristics, involving efficient charge transfer, plas- monic hot electrons doping, enhanced light-emitting, and ultrasensitive photodetection. Here, we briefly review the recent remarkable progress of 2D materials, mainly on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, focusing on their tunable optical properties and improved opto-electronic devices with plasmonic effects. The mechanism of plasmon enhanced light-matter interaction in 2D materials is elaborated in detail, and the state-of-the-art of device applications is compre- hensively described. In the future, the field of 2D materials holds great promise as an important platform for materials science and opto-electronic engineering, enabling an emerging interdisciplinary research field spanning from clean energy to information technology.

文摘The expression patterns of OsPILll, one of six putative phytochrome-interacting factors, were analyzed in different organs of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The expression of OsPIL 11 was organ-specific and was regulated by leaf development, abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA). To further explore the role of OsPIL 11 in plant light signal transduction, a plant expression vector of OsPILll was constructed and introduced into tobacco. When grown under continuous red light, OsPILll-overexpressed transgenic tobacco exhibited shorter hypocotyls and larger cotyledons and leaves compared to wild-type seedlings. When grown under continuous far-red light, however, transgenic and wild-type seedlings showed similar phenotypes. These results indicate that OsPILll is involved in red light induced de-etiolation, but not in far-red light induced de-etiolation in transgenic tobacco, which lays the foundation for dissecting the function of OsPIL11 in phytochrome-mediated light signal transduction in rice.
文摘We show that it is possible to realize quantum superpositions of switched-on and-off strong light-matter interaction in a single quantum dot-semiconductor microcavity system.Such superpositions enable the observation of counterintuitive quantum conditional dynamics effects.Situations are possible where cavity photons as well as the emitter luminescence display exponential decay but their joint detection probability exhibits vacuum Rabi oscillations.Remarkably,these quantum correlations are also present in the nonequilibrium steady state spectra of such coherently driven dissipative quantum systems.

文摘We study the ground state energy of an atom interacting with an oscillating optical field with electric dipole and quadrupole coupling.Under the rotating wave approximation,we derive the effective atomic Hamiltonians of the dipole/quadrupole coupling term within the perturbation theory up to the second order.Based on the effective Hamiltonians,we analyze the atomic ground-state energy corrections of these two processes in detail.As an application,we find that for alkali-like atoms,the energy correction from the quadrupole coupling is negligible small in comparison with that from the dipole coupling,which justifies the so-called dipole approximation used in literatures.Some special cases where the quadrupole interaction may have considerable energy corrections are also discussed.Our results would be beneficial for the study of atom–light interaction beyond dipole approximation.

文摘At present,most experimental teaching systems lack guidance of an operator,and thus users often do not know what to do during an experiment.The user load is therefore increased,and the learning efficiency of the students is decreased.To solve the problem of insufficient system interactivity and guidance,an experimental navigation system based on multi-mode fusion is proposed in this paper.The system first obtains user information by sensing the hardware devices,intelligently perceives the user intention and progress of the experiment according to the information acquired,and finally carries out a multi-modal intelligent navigation process for users.As an innovative aspect of this study,an intelligent multi-mode navigation system is used to guide users in conducting experiments,thereby reducing the user load and enabling the users to effectively complete their experiments.The results prove that this system can guide users in completing their experiments,and can effectively reduce the user load during the interaction process and improve the efficiency.
文摘It is common experience that our eyes do not perceive significant changes in color when we observe for long time an object continuously exposed to light. We always see plants to be green in summer until in autumn factors external to our vision, such as changes in the length of daylight and temperature, cause the break-down of chlorophyll and, in turn, spectacular changes in plant’s colors. Likewise, the photocurrent produced in solar panels or field effect transistors achieves a steady state magnitude shortly after the start of the illumination. The steady state photocurrent lasts until the illumination stops. Understanding the origin of the steady state response of a device or light harvesting (LH) system to illumination with electromagnetic (EM) waves motivates the research presented in this work. In our experiments, we used capacitors as LH systems and illuminated them with infrared (IR) light over an 80 hours time period. We investigated the interaction between light and matter by monitoring versus time the voltage output of the capacitors. By combining modeling and experimental observations, we concluded that the steady state voltage is established soon after the start of the illumination as the consequence of the law of conservation of energy. We also found that the magnitude of the voltage in the steady state depends on the power and period of the illuminating IR light, and on the capacitance of the capacitor. When light’s power undergoes fluctuations, also the voltage produced by the capacitor and the surface charge density on the capacitors do so. These findings suggest that the law of conservation of energy has a significant repercussion when light is absorbed by matter in the steady state, for example in the mechanism of vision in vertebrates. Likewise, these findings are true when light is emitted from matter, for example in the mechanism of formation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).
文摘Context and Background: In this research, we investigate the interaction of X-rays with a capacitor by studying the voltage established in the capacitor during the illumination. Motivation: We aim at verifying that the total energy conserved in the interaction is <span style="white-space:nowrap;">Pτ, i.e.<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> the product of the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> times the period τ of the X-rays. Hypothesis: Our investigation relies on the hypothesis that the voltage responsivity π<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><sub>V<span style="white-space:nowrap;"></sub> of the capacitor should be small, according to previous research. The parameter π<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><sub>V<span style="white-space:nowrap;"></sub> is the ratio between the voltage produced and the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> of the X-rays, and measures the performance of the capacitor in response to the X-rays. Method: We measure the voltage produced by the capacitor in response to the X-rays, and then determine the average power <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> of the X-rays according to a procedure already assessed with infrared and visible light. Results: In our experiments, <span style="white-space:nowrap;">P<span style="white-space:nowrap;"> turns out to be in the range between 10<sup><span style="color:#4F4F4F;font-family:-apple-system, " font-size:16px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"="">-3 </sup>W to 10<sup>0</sup> W. Our procedure enables us to unveil the relationship between the average power P and the effective dose, an important operating parameter used to measure the delivery of X-rays in practical applications, such as standard X-ray medical imaging machines. Conclusions: We believe that our procedure paves the way for designing a possible X-ray power-meter, a tool presently missing in the market of X-ray characterization tools.

文摘Indoor scene semantic segmentation is essential for enabling robots to understand and interact with their environments effectively.However,numerous challenges remain unresolved,particularly in single-robot systems,which often struggle with the complexity and variability of indoor scenes.To address these limitations,we introduce a novel multi-robot collaborative framework based on multiplex interactive learning(MPIL)in which each robot specialises in a distinct visual task within a unified multitask architecture.During training,the framework employs task-specific decoders and cross-task feature sharing to enhance collaborative optimisation.At inference time,robots operate independently with optimised models,enabling scalable,asynchronous and efficient deployment in real-world scenarios.Specifically,MPIL employs specially designed modules that integrate RGB and depth data,refine feature representations and facilitate the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks,such as instance segmentation,scene classification and semantic segmentation.By leveraging these modules,distinct agents within multi-robot systems can effectively handle specialised tasks,thereby enhancing the overall system's flexibility and adaptability.This collaborative effort maximises the strengths of each robot,resulting in a more comprehensive understanding of environments.Extensive experiments on two public benchmark datasets demonstrate MPIL's competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art approaches,highlighting the effectiveness and robustness of our multi-robot system in complex indoor environments.

文摘We utilize conventional wave-vector-resolved Brillouin light scattering technology to investigate the spin wave response in YIG thin films under high-power microwave excitation. By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon–magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.

文摘Light-matter interactions are frequently perceived as predominantly influenced by the electric field,with the magnetic component of light often overlooked.Nonetheless,the magnetic field plays a pivotal role in various optical processes,including chiral light-matter interactions,photon-avalanching,and forbidden photochemistry,underscoring the significance of manipulating magnetic processes in optical phenomena.Here,we explore the ability to control the magnetic light and matter interactions at the nanoscale.In particular,we demonstrate experimentally,using a plasmonic nanostructure,the transfer of energy from the magnetic nearfield to a nanoparticle,thanks to the subwavelength magnetic confinement allowed by our nano-antenna.This control is made possible by the particular design of our plasmonic nanostructure,which has been optimized to spatially decouple the electric and magnetic components of localized plasmonic fields.Furthermore,by studying the spontaneous emission from the Lanthanide-ions doped nanoparticle,we observe that the measured field distributions are not spatially correlated with the experimentally estimated electric and magnetic local densities of states of this antenna,in contradiction with what would be expected from reciprocity.We demonstrate that this counter-intuitive observation is,in fact,the result of the different optical paths followed by the excitation and emission of the ions,which forbids a direct application of the reciprocity theorem.

文摘High-index dielectric nanoparticles supporting strong Mie resonances,such as silicon(Si)nanoparticles,provide a platform for manipulating optical fields at the subwavelength scale.However,in general,the quality factors of Mie resonances supported by an isolated nanoparticle are not sufficient for realizing strong light-matter interaction.Here,we propose the use of dielectric-metal hybrid nanocavities composed of Si nanoparticles and silicon nitride/silver(Si_(3)N_(4)∕Ag)heterostructures to improve light-matter interaction.First,we demonstrate that the nonlinear optical absorption of the Si nanoparticle in a Si∕Si_(3)N_(4)∕Ag hybrid nanocavity can be greatly enhanced at the magnetic dipole resonance.The Si∕Si_(3)N_(4)∕Ag nanocavity exhibits luminescence burst at substantially lower excitation energy(~20.5 pJ)compared to a Si nanoparticle placed on a silica substrate(~51.3 pJ).The luminescence intensity is also enhanced by an order of magnitude.Second,we show that strong exciton-photon coupling can be realized when a tungsten disulfide(WS2)monolayer is inserted into a Si∕Si_(3)N_(4)∕Ag nanocavity.When such a system is excited by using s-polarized light,the optical resonance supported by the nanocavity can be continuously tuned to sweep across the two exciton resonances of the WS_(2)monolayer by simply varying the incident angle.As a result,Rabi splitting energies as large as~146.4 meV and~110 meV are observed at the A-and B-exciton resonances of the WS_(2)monolayer,satisfying the criterion for strong exciton-photon coupling.The proposed nanocavities provide,to our knowledge,a new platform for enhancing light-matter interaction in multiple scenarios and imply potential applications in constructing nanoscale photonic devices.
