We demonstrate a facile and effective approach to significantly improve the photoluminescence of bulk MoS2 via laser thinning followed by gold particle decoration. Upon laser thinning of exfoliated bulk MoSz photoluminescence emerges from the laser-thinned region. After further treatment with an AuCl3 solution, gold particles self-assemble on the laser-thinned region and thick edges, further increasing the fluorescence of bulk MoS2 28 times and the Raman response 3 times. Such fluorescence enhancement can be attributed to both surface plasmon resonance and p-type doping induced by gold particles. The combination of laser thinning and AuCl3 treatment enables the functionalization of bulk MoS2 for optoelectronic applications. It can also provide a viable strategy for mask-free and area-selective p-type doping on single MoS2 flakes.

The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of various sputtering parameters such as nitrogen flow rate, deposition time and sputtering pressure on structural, wettability and optical properties of titanium oxynitride films deposited on glass substrate by reactive magnetron sputtering. The X-ray diffraction graphs of titanium oxynitride films show evolution of various textures of TiO=N and TiN phases with increasing nitrogen flow rate and deposition time, but an increase in sputtering pressure from 4.0 to 8.0 Pa results in decline of various textures observed for TiO=Ny and TiN phases. The stress and strain calculated by sin2~ method are compressive, which decrease with increasing nitrogen flow rate from 55 to I00 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) and increase with increasing deposition time from 80 to I40 min due to atomic penning effect and increasing thickness of the deposited films. The titanium oxynitride films have contact angle values above 90 deg., indicating that films are hydrophobic. The maximum contact angle of I09.1 deg. is observed at deposition time of 140 min. This water repellent property can add value to potential protective, wear and corrosion resistant application of titanium oxynitride films. The band gap decreases from 1.98 to 1.83 eV as nitrogen flow rate is increased from 55 to 100 sccm; it decreases from 1.93 to 1.79 eV as deposition time is increased from 80 to 140 min as more nitrogen incorporation results in higher negative potential of valence band N2p orbital. But it increases from 2.26 to 2.34 eV for titanium oxynitride films as sputtering pressure increases from 4.0 to 8.0 Pa.

Plasmons, collective excitations of electrons in solids, are associated with strongly confined electromagnetic fields, with wavelengths far below the wavelength of photons in free space. Such strong confinement nominally holds the potential to enable optoelectronic technologies that bridge the size difference between photonic and electronic devices. However, despite decades of research in plasmonics, many applications remain limited by plasmonic losses, thus motivating a search for new engineered plasmonic materials with lower losses. Among the promising candidates for low-loss plasmonic materials are solid-state lattices with flat and energetically isolated metallic bands—with commensurately small phase spaces for phonon-assisted optical losses, a major contributor to short plasmonic lifetimes. Such electronic band structures may be created by judiciously introducing an ordered lattice of defects in an insulating host material. Here, we explore this approach, presenting several low-loss, highly confined, and tunable plasmonic materials based on arrays of carbon substitutions in hexagonal boron nitride monolayers. From our first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we find plasmonic structures with midinfrared plasmons featuring very high confinements (λvacuum/λplasmon exceeding 1400). In addition, we find that one of our materials exhibits a confinement of 700 while avoiding second-order—phonon-assisted—losses entirely (infinite quality factor at this order of perturbation theory). We provide a systematic explanation of how crystal structure, electronic bandwidth, local-field, and many-body effects inform the plasmonic dispersions and losses of these materials. The results are thus of relevance to low-loss plasmon engineering in other flat band systems.

We report on magnetoresistance, Hall effect, and quantum Shubnikov–de Haas oscillation(SdH) experiments in NbIrTe4 single crystals, which was recently predicted to be a type-II Weyl semimetal. NbIrTe4 manifests a non-saturating and parabolic magnetoresistance at low temperatures. The magneto-transport measurements show that NbIrTe4 is a multiband system. The analysis of the SdH oscillations reveals four distinct oscillation frequencies. Combined with the density-functional theory calculations, we show that they come from two types of Fermi surfaces: electron pocket E1 and hole pocket H2.

ZnS/graphene nanocomposites with different graphene concentrations (5, 10 and 15 wt.%) were synthesized using L-cysteine as surfactant and graphene oxide (GO) powders as graphene source. Excellent performance for nanocomposites to remove methylene blue (MB) dye and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) under visible-light illumina- tion was revealed. TEM images showed that ZnS NPs were decorated on GO sheets and the GO caused a significant decrease in the ZnS diameter size. XRD patterns, XPS and FTIR spectroscopy results indicated that GO sheets changed into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) during the synthesis process. Photocurrent measurements under a visible- light source indicated a good chemical reaction between ZnS NPs and rGO sheets.

Thin films of BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) serial materials have the advantages of adjustable tunability and are good candidates for the application in DRAM and microwave devices. However, these films usually have loss tangent higher than the order of 0.01 at microwave frequencies. To improve the crystal structures and suppress the microwave losses, an interlayer material with good microwave properties can be used. In this present work, a low loss Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BMT) thin buffer layer with varying thickness and its effect on the microwave properties of Ba 0.4Sr0.6TiO3 thin films is investigated. Moreover, to overcome the spatial limit in the traditional microwave measurement, a novel technique, evanescent microwave probe (EMP) method, is used to directly probe the microwave dielectric properties of the films. This technique also provides the capability to study the dielectric mechanism in micro-scale region. Pulsed laser deposition technique was used to synthesize thin films. The films shows (111) preferably oriented growth of BST films with the introduction of BMT layer for the films grown on sapphire substrates. As the thickness of BMT increases, this behavior is more obvious. The microwave dielectric constants (Ε) and dielectric losses (tan δ) of the films grown on sapphire substrates have been measured by EMP. The dielectric constants of BST thin films decrease monotonously with the increase of BMT thickness. In contrast, the tan δ shows a discontinuity variation when the BMT buffer layer is deposited for 10-20 minutes.
