Summary: The chlorine-assisted growth of epitaxial InGaN and AlGaN crystals at low temperature was achieved with high reproducibility via the reaction between metal trichlorides and nitrogen plasma. By adding hydrogen gas, the problems of etching and appearance of different crystal planes were effectively solved. Controlling the amount of precursor aluminum prevented phase separation in AlGaN crystals. The use of chlorine gas and plasma greatly reduced the process temperatures, expanding the potential applications of low-temperature growth.

Summary: The optical modal gain of Cd0.6Zn0.4Te/ZnTe double quantum dots was measured using a variable stripe length method. Two gain spectra were observed with a large separation layer thickness of ZnTe, corresponding to the exciton levels of the large and small quantum dots. With a small separation layer thickness of ZnTe, a merged single gain spectrum was observed, indicating a coupled state between the two types of quantum dots.

Summary: This paper investigates the stability improvement of CsPbX3 QDs and applies high-efficiency, stable perovskite QDs to solar cells to enhance cell performance. The focus is on CsPbBr3 QDs, and strategies such as Mn+ doping, ligand regulation, and polymer encapsulation are used to optimize the QDs while ensuring stability. Test results show that the above methods improve the strength and luminescence performance of QDs, with the best stability achieved when PMMA encapsulates QDs at a ratio of PMMA = 2:1, and the PLQY increases from 60.2% to 90.1%.

Summary: Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals have excellent optical properties and potential for optoelectronic device applications, but their photo- and thermostability still need optimization. This study investigates the degradation behaviors of CsPbI3 nanocrystals used as an optical conversion layer in blue micro-LEDs and shows that both blue light irradiation and high temperature can cause degradation and reduction of the photoluminescence quantum yield. The work provides insights into the correlation between light irradiation and temperature consequences for CsPbI3 nanocrystals, which is important for optoelectronic device applications.

Summary: This study proposes a gate-tunable bolometer based on two strongly coupled graphene nanomechanical resonators. The properties of one bolometer can be measured directly by tracking the resonance frequency shifts, while the other bolometer can be indirectly measured through mechanical coupling. The sensitivity and response bandwidth of both bolometers can be independently adjusted by tuning the corresponding gate voltages. The method has the potential to optimize the design of large-scale bolometer arrays and open new horizons in infrared/terahertz astronomy and other fields.

Summary: Theoretical study on the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) of higher-order mode propagating along a plasmonic nanowire or nanorod reveals that the propagation lengths of SPPs increase with the mode number at a specific frequency. The results show the generation of an optical vortex at the cross section of the nanowire and the helical streamlines of Poynting vector along the nanowire, indicating the presence of orbital angular momentum.

Summary: In this work, the generation of initiated plasmonic nanobubbles and subsequent microbubbles in gold nanorod (GNR) colloidal solution induced by a pulsed laser is studied. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-enhanced photothermal effect of GNRs initiates nanobubbles, which then trigger the optical breakdown of water. The dynamic formations of nanobubbles and microbubbles in GNR colloids are investigated using probing He-Ne laser and ultrasonic transducer. Three types of microbubbles are identified based on optical and photoacoustic signals. The thresholds of pulsed energy to induce different types of microbubbles are reduced as the concentration of GNRs increases, especially in the near-infrared (NIR) region and close to the SPR of GNRs. This study provides insights into the relationship between plasmonic nanobubbles and triggered microbubbles.

Summary: Theoretical study on the transition of a helical surface plasmon polariton (SPP) from a circular nanohole in a thick metal film to a spiral SPP outward propagating at the film's interface shows that the propagation length of mode-1 SPP is significantly longer than other modes in a specific frequency band, depending on the nanohole size. Numerical results demonstrate that most of the energy flux fanning out at the outlet as a dipole radiation after a helical SPP tunnels through a nanohole.
