The polar nature of twin boundaries (TBs) of inherently nonpolar ferroelastic ${\mathrm{CaTiO}}_{3}$ is examined by the confocal second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope. Three-dimensional SHG images of samples with the pseudocubic (110) and (1-11) planes confirm that both crystallographically prominent TB ($W$ pla…

Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of metal nanostructures are highly related to the shape, which could greatly enhance the light–matter interaction at nanoscale. Here, we investigate the LSPRs of gold nanostars corresponding to the unique morphology and demonstrate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) a…

Dispersive Fourier transform imaging is a powerful technique in achieving ultrafast imaging of wide areas. However, system power efficiency is often limited by dispersive components. Here, we demonstrate that a gap-plasmon metasurface (GPM) based blazed grating can be used in dispersive imaging applications to achieve…

It is expected that the incidence of various adverse effects of anticancer agents maybe decreased owing to the reduced drug distribution in normal tissue. Anticancer agent incorporating nanoparticles including micelles and liposomes can evade non-specific capture by the reticuloendothelial system because the outer she…

Traditionally, Cu ion-based oxide materials are considered not functional as photocatalysts owing to their instability in the photoelectrochemical processes. Here, we report on the light-induced photochemical synthesis of Cu 2 O microcubes utilizing CuWO 4 as the precursor. It was found that under light irradiation an…
