Summary: The optical transmission properties of plasmonic MDM tri-layer with T and L shape periodic slit structures were investigated, showing that the spectral transmission greatly depends on the slit structure and the resonant condition is determined by the structural shapes and polarizations of incident light. The plasmonic structure is useful in optical transmissive devices.

Summary: In this study, heterogeneous rod-like Ni@Carbon (Ni@C) composites with tunable nano-micro structure and electromagnetic parameters were successfully synthesized by a handy hydrothermal reaction and subsequent calcination treatment. The Ni@C composite showed favorable microwave absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -58.7 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.4 GHz. The carbon matrix of Ni@C also served as a protective layer for Ni NPs, providing stable microwave absorbing performance even after one year measurement.

Summary: In this work, it is demonstrated theoretically and computationally that static magnetization can be generated through light in semiconductors, generalizing the Edelstein effect. Light-induced orbital magnetizations are found to be significantly greater than spin magnetizations, and different magnetic structures can be realized in multilayer materials under photon pumping. The relationship between the nonlinear Edelstein effect and other magneto-optic effects is also discussed.

Summary: Research has shown that many-body interactions among interlayer excitons in a WSe2/MoSe2 heterobilayer can induce a valley Zeeman splitting that is comparable in strength to a magnetic field of approximately 6 T, and the g-factor of the valley Zeeman splitting can be tuned by incident power, providing an effective way to control the valley pseudospin.

Summary: This study demonstrates that an interface with equal reflection coefficients and their derivatives with respect to the incident angle supports polarization-independent spin Hall shift, even when the beam waist is comparable to the wavelength. An isotropic-anisotropic interface exhibiting polarization-independent spin Hall shift over the entire range of incident angles is also presented. These findings are significant for practical spin-dependent devices and active beam splitters.

Summary: This study investigates the thickness-dependent structural phase transitions in epitaxial BFCO films and reveals the influence of crystallographic distortions on their photoresponse. The results show a shift in bandgap and absorption onset due to the changes in crystal symmetry. First-principles calculations further elucidate the impact of crystallographic symmetry on the electronic structure. This work provides a practical strategy for engineering optoelectronic properties of multiferroic oxide films through thickness-induced phase transitions.

Summary: This study analyzed depolarized light scattering patterns from an ordered diblock copolymer/lithium salt mixture by using eight different types of elliptically polarized light, and found that the patterns were consistent with the ellipsoidal grain model. The elliptically polarized light probes a different population of grains in the sample compared to linearly or circularly polarized light, which may be useful for characterizing samples with anisotropic grain orientation distributions.

Summary: The effects of A-site transition from Ca2+ to Cd2+ on the microstructure, morphology, and electrical properties of Ca(1-x)CdxCu(3)Ti(4)O(12) thin films were investigated. The films exhibited smooth and compact surfaces without cracks. The transition from Ca2+ to Cd2+ resulted in changes in grain size and electrical properties. In particular, the simultaneous occupancy of A sites by Ca2+ and Cd2+ improved the dielectric and nonlinear properties of Ca1-xCdxCu3Ti4O12 films.

Summary: Streptococcus agalactiae is a major pathogen causing mastitis in animals, but its specific pathogenic mechanisms and regulatory factors are largely unknown. Our study revealed that the downregulation of CDK5RAP3 in mastitis caused by S. agalactiae triggers inflammasome activation and inhibits autophagolysosome degradation, leading to inflammation and cell death. This study sheds light on the interaction between autophagy and immune responses and provides new insights for the development of clinical drugs to cure S. agalactiae mastitis.

Summary: In this study, we propose a novel method for on-chip generation and manipulation of higher-order Poincare sphere beams (HOPBs) by combining metasurface with optical waveguides on a lithium niobate on insulator platform. By using a diatomic geometric metasurface for phase modulation, guided waves are extracted into free space with high signal-to-noise ratio and formed into two orthogonal circularly polarized optical vortices which are linearly superposed into HOPBs. Additionally, a dual-port waveguide crossing is utilized to reconfigure the output states into an arbitrary point on a higher-order Poincare sphere based on in-plane interference of two guided waves. This approach provides a compact solution for generating and manipulating HOPBs and can be further enhanced by employing electro-optical modulation on a lithium niobate waveguide for full tunability.

Summary: We investigated the mechanical properties of a magnetic temperature-sensitive hydrogel with varying concentrations of covalent and physical cross-linking. Increasing the nanoclay content improved both strength and toughness in the double network materials due to the strong viscoplastic behavior of the physical nanoclay network. Our findings suggest that the yield-stress behavior of the nanoclay network and load-sharing interactions between the PNIPAAm and nanoclay are responsible for the observed trends. Additionally, we found a strong correlation between the mass ratio of covalent cross-linker used and fractional percolation of the PNIPAAm network.
