الوصف: Three-dimensional (3D) information of the optical response in the nanometre scale is important in the field of nanophotonics science. Using photoinduced force microscopy (PiFM), we can visualize the nano-scale optical field using the optical gradient force between the tip and sample. Here, we demonstrate 3D photoinduced force field visualization around a quantum dot in the single-nanometre spatial resolution with heterodyne frequency modulation technique, using which, the effect of the photothermal expansion of the tip and sample in the ultra-high vacuum condition can be avoided. The obtained 3D mapping shows the spatially localized photoinduced interaction potential and force field vectors in the single nano-scale for composite quantum dots with photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the spatial resolution of PiFM imaging achieved is ~0.7 nm. The single-nanometer scale photoinduced field visualization is crucial for applications such as photo catalysts, optical functional devices, and optical manipulation.
Direct visualisation of 3D vector distributions of photoinduced fields can shed light on the optical and mechanical behaviour of different materials. Here, the authors demonstrate such visualisation using photoinduced force microscopy by observing the optical gradient force at the nanometer scale. -

الوصف: In this work, we report a high thermal conductivity (k) of 162 W m−1 K−1 and 52 W m−1 K−1 at room temperature, along the directions perpendicular and parallel to the c-axis, respectively, of bulk hexagonal BC2P (h-BC2P), using first-principles calculations. We systematically investigate elastic constants, phonon group velocities, phonon linewidths and mode thermal conductivity contributions of transverse acoustic (TA), longitudinal acoustic (LA) and optical phonons. Interestingly, optical phonons are found to make a large contribution of 30.1% to the overall k along a direction perpendicular to the c-axis at 300 K. BC2P is also found to exhibit high thermal conductivity at nanometer length scales. At 300 K, a high k value of ∼47 W m−1 K−1 is computed for h-BC2P at a nanometer length scale of 50 nm, providing avenues for achieving efficient nanoscale heat transfer.

الوصف: Water presents puzzling properties once it gets confined down to the scale below about one nanometer, in particular its dielectric response becomes highly anisotropic in inhomogeneous environments such as slit pores. Here, we analyze the dielectric response of water within graphene slit pores in different confinement regimes based on molecular dynamics simulations. Our data quantify how the distinctly different parallel (in-plane) and perpendicular (out-of-plane) dielectric profiles change upon two-dimensional confinement from wide pores - featuring bulk-like behavior in between typical interfacial water layers - down to the water bilayer and monolayer limit. In addition, we show that simulating water in such narrow pores requires specific water-graphene interaction parameters different from those usually employed for interfaces.

الوصف: Quasicrystalline ordering was first observed in synthetic multi-component metallic alloys. These solid state materials exhibit quasicrystalline atomic ordering at nanometer length scales. Softmatter systems are another class of versatile materials that can exhibit quasicrystalline ordering across supra-nanometer (>
10 nm) to supra-micrometer (>
10 &mu
m) length scales as recently observed in materials like-supramolecular dendritic molecules, ABC star polymers, binary nanoparticle systems and block co-polymers in condensed matter systems. The underlying mechanism in most of these soft quasicrystals seems to be the presence of two or more length scales in the system. Another class of development in self-assembled quasicrystals in softmatter is being observed in low molecular weight chiral and achiral nematic liquid crystals. Liquid crystal forms an efficient matrix for self- and directed-assemblies of colloidal structures where surface and geometry-tuning the particles in nematic liquid crystals gives rise to complex inter-particle interactions while the long-range order results in self-assembled structures of higher order rotational symmetries. Furthermore, there has also been attempts to generate colloidal quasicrystalline defect structures by directing the assemblies using multiple and single beam lasing techniques. In the present article, we will review self- and assisted-assembly of quasicrystalline structures in nematic liquid crystals (both chiral and achiral) and discuss the underlying mechanisms.وصف الملف: application/pdf; text/url

الوصف: International audience; The interaction of the contact line with topographical or chemical defects at the nanometer scale sets the macroscopic wetting properties of a liquid on a solid substrate. Based on specific atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments, we demonstrate that molecules physically sorbed on a surface are removed by a dynamic contact line. The mechanism of molecules desorption is directly determined by the capillary force exerted at the contact line on the molecules. We also emphasize the potential of AFM to clearly decorrelate the effects of topographical and chemical defects and monitor, with a subsecond time resolution, the dynamics of molecules adsorption on a surface.

الوصف: Properties of nanolayers can substantially differ from those of bulky materials, in part due to pronounced interface effects. It is known that combinations of layers of heavy and ferromagnetic metals leads to the appearance of specific spin textures induced by interface-induced Dzyaloshinskyi–Moria interaction (DMI), which attracts much interest and requires further studies. In this paper, we study magneto-optical effects in two- and three-layer films composed of a few nanometer thick Co layer adjacent to nanofilms of non-magnetic materials (Pt, W, Cu, Ta, MgO). For experimental studies of the interface magnetization-induced effects, we used the optical second harmonic generation (SHG) technique known for its high sensitivity to the symmetry breaking. We found that the structural asymmetry leads to the increase of the averaged SHG intensity, as well as to the magnetic field-induced effects in SHG. Moreover, by choosing the proper geometry of the experiment, we excluded the most studied linear in magnetization SHG contributions and, thus, succeeded in studying higher order in magnetization and non-local magnetic effects. We revealed odd in magnetization SHG effects consistent with the phenomenological description involving inhomogeneous (gradient) magnetization distribution at interfaces and found them quite pronounced, so that they should be necessarily taken into account when analyzing the non-linear magneto-optical response of nanostructures.

الوصف: Strain and defects in crystalline materials are responsible for the distinct mechanical, electric, and magnetic properties of a desired material, making their study an essential task in material characterization, fabrication, and design. Existing techniques for the visualization of strain fields, such as transmission electron microscopy and diffraction, are destructive and limited to thin slices of the materials. On the other hand, nondestructive x-ray imaging methods either have a reduced resolution or are not robust enough for a broad range of applications. Here we present x-ray ptychographic topography, a method for strain imaging, and demonstrate its use on an InSb micropillar after microcompression, where the strained region is visualized with a spatial resolution of 30 nm. Thereby, x-ray ptychographic topography proves itself as a robust nondestructive approach for the imaging of strain fields within bulk crystalline specimens with a spatial resolution of a few tens of nanometers.

الوصف: This paper reports on improved techniques to create and characterize nanometre-sized droplets from dilute aqueous solutions by using a gas dynamic virtual nozzle (GDVN). It describes a method to measure the size distribution of uncharged droplets, using an environmental scanning electron microscope, and provides theoretical models for the droplet sizes created. The results show that droplet sizes can be tuned by adjusting the gas and liquid flow rates in the GDVN, and at the lowest liquid flow rates, the size of the water droplets peaks at about 120 nm. This droplet size is similar to droplet sizes produced by electrospray ionization but requires neither electrolytes nor charging of the solution. The results presented here identify a new operational regime for GDVNs and show that predictable droplet sizes, comparable to those obtained by electrospray ionization, can be produced by purely mechanical means in GDVNs.
