Different methods such as axilens and binary-phase filter have been investigated to improve the depth of focus. A method is proposed to calculate an amplitude-phase pupil filter and obtain the desired distribution of intensity along the optical axis. It produces a narrow spot with a uniform intensity level over a larg…

Spin dynamics in (Ga,Mn)As films grown on GaAs(001) was investigated by Time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. The Kerr signal decay time of (Ga,Mn)As without external magnetic field applied was found to be several hundreds picoseconds, which suggested that photogenerated polarized holes and magnetic ions are coup…

We have shown that highly efficient and air-stable 1531 nm emission can be realized in erbium/bismuth codoped zeolites. The luminescence lifetime of Er3+ at 1531 nm can reach up to 4.2 ms. Bismuth compounds formed by high temperature annealing can act as blockages of selectively closing down the “in-out windows” of wa…

The hydrogen storage is still a challenge for mobile applications. The diffusion of hydrogen in solids is considered as a general model system but there is limited knowledge available for the dynamics of hydrogen in complex hydrides. In this letter, we present a systematic approach to study the hydrogen-deuterium exch…

We report a flexible photodetector with a sandwich structure of Au/polythiophene (PTh)/Au, which consists of two Au electrodes with a thickness of 30 nm each and a PTh layer with a thickness of 10−40 μm. The devices showed strong and fast photoresponses under excitation through the gold electrodes using white light or…

Cationic poly[9,9'-bis[6''-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl]fluorene-co-alt-phenylene]s with five different counterions (CIs) were synthesized and studied as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donors (D) to dye-labeled DNA (FRET acceptor, A). The polymers with different CIs show the same pi-conjugated electro…

The alanine-based 16-mer peptide (AAKA)(4) has recently been shown to aggregate into a hydrogel at centimolar concentrations and high ionic strength ( Measey, T. J.; Schweitzer-Stenner, R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006 , 128 , 13324. ). This is a surprising result since the current understanding of peptide self-aggregation w…

A polarizer-free three step switch using distinct dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) gels is demonstrated in reflective mode. By controlling the spatial distribution of the density of polymer networks, the distinct dye-doped LC gels can produce multiple states: bright, dark, and information states without patterning indium…

Gold-bound self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminating in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) cavities provide a highly ordered surface array of hydrophobic binding pockets and so are used as “molecular printboards” for nanopatterning applications. The present work complements ongoing nanoscale experiments by providing the atom-sc…
