    Abstract Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) possess localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. Cu thin films composed of individual CuNPs exhibit stronger LSPR than the individual CuNPs due to the LSPR coupling among CuNPs. However, CuNPs are easy to be oxidized, which results in the rapid LSPR damping of the CuNPs thin films. Simulation of the variations of the coupled LSPR of two adjacent CuNPs with the thickness of oxide shells formed during oxidation is of great importance for understanding the mechanisms of the strong LSPR of CuNPs thin films and its rapid attenuation. In this paper, Discrete-dipole approximation method is used to simulate the extinction spectra of two adjacent spherical CuNPs as a function of the shell thickness (t), the ambient refractive index (n), the diameter (D) of the CuNPs, and the inter-nanoparticle spacing (L). The calculation is validated by experimental results. According to our model, for a definite CuNPs thin films, the oxide shell thickness of CuNPs can be calculated only if the extinction spectra and the morphology are provided. Further, it is found when the oxide shell thickness is small (t/R< 0.3), increasing n and decreasing L/D have an obvious synergistic effect on enhancing the coupled LSPR, but this synergistic effect weakens with the deepening of oxidation, and disappeared when t/R > 0.5. This study provides a calculation method for coupled core-shell nanoparticles and throws light on the role of oxidation on the rapid damped LSPR of CuNPs thin films.

    Abstract Mid-infrared (MIR) single-photon detection is emerging as an important technology for various applications. Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) fabricated with superconducting films with energy gaps of a few meV are natural broadband single-photon detectors. Recently, extending SNSPDs' operation wavelengths into the MIR region is highly attractive. γ-Nb

    Abstract The defect mode, which exists at the defect layer of a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC) heterostructure, provides the possibility of realizing narrowband transmission owing to its strong electromagnetic field localized effects. In this study, we numerically investigate the single- and multichannel narrowband filters in the mid-infrared region based on the defect mode by adding the monolayer and multilayer phase-change material

    Abstract A thermophotovoltaic system that converts thermal energy into electricity has considerable potential for applications in energy utilization fields. However, intensive emission in a wide spectral and angular range remains a challenge in improving system efficiency. This study proposes the use of a 2D trilayer grating with a tungsten/silica/tungsten (W/SiO2/W) structure on a tungsten substrate as a thermophotovoltaic emitter. The finite-difference time-domain method is employed to simulate the radiative properties of the proposed structure. A broadband high emittance with an average spectral emittance of 0.953 between 600 and 1800 nm can be obtained for both transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarized waves. On the basis of the inductance-capacitance circuit model and dispersion relation analyses, this phenomenon is mainly considered as the combined contribution of surface plasmon polaritons and magnetic polaritons. A parametric study is also conducted on the emittance spectrum of the proposed structure, considering geometric parameters, polar angles, and azimuthal angles for both TM and TE waves. The study demonstrates that the emitter has good wavelength selectivity and polarization insensitivity in a wide geometric and angular range.

    Abstract Bacterial infection is the main cause of implantation failure worldwide, and the importance of antibiotics on medical devices has been undermined because of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial hydrogels have emerged as a promising approach to combat infections associated with medical devices and wound healing. However, hydrogel coatings that simultaneously possess both antifouling and antimicrobial attributes are scarce. Herein, we report an antimicrobial hydrogel that incorporates adhesion-inhibiting polyethylene glycol (PEG) and colony-suppressing chitosan (CS) as a dressing to combat bacterial infections. These two polymers have important environmentally benign characteristics including low toxicity, low volatility, and biocompatibility. Although hydrogels containing PEG and CS have been reported for applications in the fields of wound dressing, tissue repair, water purification, drug delivery, and scaffolds for bone regeneration, there still has been no report on the application of CS/PEG hydrogel coatings in dental applications. Herein, this biointerface shows superior activity in early-stage adhesion inhibition (98.8%, 5 h) and displays remarkably long-lasting colony-suppression activity (93.3%, 7 d). Thus, this novel nanomaterial, which has potential as a dual-functional platform with integrated antifouling and antimicrobial functions with excellent biocompatibility, might be used as a safe and effective antimicrobial coating in biomedical device applications.

    Abstract With the development of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors, increasing numbers of important applications are being explored, covering not only low-energy optical photon detection but also high-energy photon and particle detection. In this work, 100-nm-thick TaN superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) with large active areas were prepared for X-ray detection, and their response characteristics to X-rays were studied. The results showed that our TaN SMSPDs were able to detect X-rays at a wide range of bias currents and working temperatures. The detectors could distinguish different energy X-rays under suitable working conditions, and the energy resolving power was strongly related to the bias current.

    Abstract Radioactive contamination is a highly concerning global environmental issue along with the development of the nuclear industry. On account of sophisticated operations and high cost of instrument detection methods, numerous efforts have been focused on rapid and simple detection of pollution elements and uranium is the most common one. It is an enormous challenge to push the limit of determination as low as possible while carrying out ultrasensitive detection. Here, we report an intelligent platform based on functionalized solid nanochannels to monitor ultratrace uranyl ions. The platform has a detection limit of 1 fM, which is far below the value that traditional instrumental methods can reach. What is more, the system also exhibits uranyl removal property. The mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in media containing uranyl can achieve excellent viability in the presence of the membranes. This work provides a new choice for handling global radioactive contamination of water.
