Title: Highly tunable elastic dielectric metasurface lenses

Abstract

Abstract Dielectric metasurfaces are two‐dimensional structures composed of nano‐scatterers that manipulate the phase and polarization of optical waves with subwavelength spatial resolution, thus enabling ultra‐thin components for free‐space optics. While high performance devices with various functionalities, including some that are difficult to achieve using conventional optical setups have been shown, most demonstrated components have fixed parameters. Here, we demonstrate highly tunable dielectric metasurface devices based on subwavelength thick silicon nano‐posts encapsulated in a thin transparent elastic polymer. As proof of concept, we demonstrate a metasurface microlens operating at 915 nm, with focal distance tuning from 600 μm to 1400 μm (over 952 diopters change in optical power) through radial strain, while maintaining a diffraction limited focus and a focusing efficiency above 50%. The demonstrated tunable metasurface concept is highly versatile for developing ultra‐slim, multi‐functional and tunable optical devices with widespread applications ranging from consumer electronics to medical devices and optical communications. image

Photonic devices fabricated from (111)‐oriented single crystal diamond

Journal Article Regan, Blake ; Kim, Sejeong ; Ly, Anh T. H. ; ... - InfoMat

Abstract Diamond is a material of choice in the pursuit of integrated quantum photonic technologies. So far, the majority of photonic devices fabricated from diamond are made from (100)‐oriented crystals. In this work, we demonstrate a methodology for the fabrication of optically active membranes from (111)‐oriented diamond. We use a liftoff technique to generate membranes, followed by chemical vapor deposition of diamond in the presence of silicon to generate homogenous silicon vacancy color centers with emission properties that are superior to those in (100)‐oriented diamond. We further use the diamond membranes to fabricate microring resonators with quality factors exceeding ~more »« less

III-nitride quantum dots for ultra-efficient solid-state lighting

Journal Article Wierer, Jr., Jonathan J. ; Tansu, Nelson ; Fischer, Arthur J. ; ... - Laser & Photonics Reviews

Abstract III‐nitride light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) are ultimately limited in performance due to parasitic Auger recombination. For LEDs, the consequences are poor efficiencies at high current densities; for LDs, the consequences are high thresholds and limited efficiencies. Here, we present arguments for III‐nitride quantum dots (QDs) as active regions for both LEDs and LDs, to circumvent Auger recombination and achieve efficiencies at higher current densities that are not possible with quantum wells. QD‐based LDs achieve gain and thresholds at lower carrier densities before Auger recombination becomes appreciable. QD‐based LEDs achieve higher efficiencies at higher currents because ofmore »« less

Tuning Block Polymer Structure, Properties, and Processability for the Design of Efficient Nanostructured Materials Systems

Journal Article Morris, Melody A. ; Gartner, Thomas E. ; Epps, Thomas H. - Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics

Block polymers (BPs) are ideal building blocks for nanoporous membranes, microelectronics templates, energy storage devices, and other technologies. For these systems, precise control over morphology, properties, and processability are essential to optimize performance. The Epps group has used a multidisciplinary approach to control BP nanostructure ordering and orientations, order‐disorder and glass transition temperatures, and mechanical and transport properties through the informed manipulation of BP effective segregation strengths and interfacial energetics. For example, alterations in macromolecular interactions between BP chains were achieved through the introduction of composition gradients between copolymer blocks or by adding dopants. In thin films, high‐throughput approaches weremore »« less

Novel color center platforms enabling fundamental scientific discovery

Journal Article Norman, Victoria A. ; Majety, Sridhar ; Wang, Zhipan ; ... - InfoMat

Abstract Color centers are versatile systems that generate quantum light, sense magnetic fields and produce spin‐photon entanglement. We review how these properties have pushed the limits of fundamental knowledge in a variety of scientific disciplines, from rejecting local‐realistic theories to sensing superconducting phase transitions. In the light of recent progress in material processing and device fabrication, we identify new opportunities for interdisciplinary fundamental discoveries in physics and geochemistry. image

Single vs double atom catalyst for N ₂ activation in nitrogen reduction reaction: A DFT perspective

Journal Article Qian, Yumin ; Liu, Yuanyue ; Zhao, Yu ; ... - EcoMat

Abstract Ammonia synthesis through electrochemical reduction of nitrogen molecules is a promising strategy to significantly reduce the energy consumption in traditional industrial process. Detailed mechanism study of multistep complex nitrogen reduction reaction is prerequisite for the design of highly efficient catalyst. Stable atomically dispersed catalyst with unique geometric and electronic structure is suitable for the mechanism clarification of such a complex reaction. In this study, d ‐block transition‐metal (TM) anchored C ₂ N single layer catalyst is investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Both single TM‐anchored single atom catalyst (SAC) and double TM‐anchored double atom catalyst (DAC) exhibitmore »« less
