We demonstrated an efficient sequential two-step near-infrared (NIR) quantum splitting (QS) in a Ho3+ singly doped β-NaYF4. An incident high-energy ultraviolet (UV)-to-visible photon in the wavelength range of 300−560 nm, which enables the Ho3+:5F4,5S2 states excited, could be efficiently split into two NIR photons at…

This work demonstrates a polarization-independent electrically tunable Fabry-Pérot (FP) filter that is based on polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PSBPLCs). An external vertical electric field can be applied to modulate the effective refractive index of the PSBPLCs along the optical axis. Therefore, the wa…

Nanocrystals and nanoclusters of the room-temperature magnetic spinel CuCr(2)S(4) have been synthesized using a facile solution-based method. The synthesis involves hot injection of an excess of 1-dodecanethiol (1-DDT) into a boiling coordinating solvent containing CuCl(2) and CrCl(3)·6H(2)O. Using octadecylamine (ODA…

While NMR measurements of nuclear energy spectra are routinely used to characterize the static properties of quantum magnets, the dynamical information locked in NMR $1/{T}_{1}$ relaxation rates remains notoriously difficult to interpret. The difficulty arises from the fact that information about all possible low-ener…

Under 980 nm excitation, multiple ultraviolet and visible upconversion luminescence from Ho3+ and Eu3+ ions were observed in Yb3+/Ho3+/Eu3+ tri-doped NaYF4 microcrystals (MCs). The high-energy states (5H3-7, 5L6, 5D3 and 5D2) of Eu3+ ions could be efficiently populated by two-step energy transfer (ET) processes of Yb…

A synthetic approach has been devised to convert conventional Stöber silica (SiO 2 ) spheres into a new type of porous structural platform for supporting multicomponent catalysts. With this approach, we have first prepared zinc-doped SiO 2 (Zn-SiO 2 ) hollow spheres, on which zinc oxide (ZnO) phase and ruthenium (Ru)…
