Article Abstract

We demonstrate bandwidth broadening in cascaded MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystals (Λ=10.3  μm) using the temperature-gradient technique. Up to 2.8 nm bandwidth at 600 nm spectral region is achieved using two 50 mm long cascaded MgO:PPLN crystals via sum frequency generation. This technique combines the merits of high conversion efficiency attributed to cascaded nonlinearity and the reconfigurability of temperature-gradient-induced chirp for broadening of the input wavelength acceptance range.

Different starch crystal structures significantly influence meat product quality, though their specific impacts on myofibrillar protein (MP) functionality remain unclear despite industry demand for optimized ingredients. This study compared how potato, corn, mung bean, and pea starches affect MP properties in minced pork. Our findings reveal that starch-protein interactions fundamentally regulate MP gel and emulsion properties through the following mechanisms: First, starch promotes protein aggregation by enhancing hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bond formation, affecting gel network crosslinking.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are being extensively researched as replacements for liquid electrolytes in future batteries. Despite significant advancements, there are still challenges in using SSEs, particularly in extreme conditions. This study presents a hydrated metal-organic ionic cocrystal (HMIC) solid-state ion conductor with a solvent-assisted ion transport mechanism suitable for extreme operating conditions.

We report an electro-enhanced catalytic etching approach for direct atomic-level patterning of single-crystal 4H-SiC (0001) surfaces. The process utilizes platinum-coated probes under a negative sample bias, which enhances catalytic reactions and promotes etching of SiC without additional mechanical load. Unlike traditional etching approaches that rely on hazardous chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, this approach operates under ambient conditions, offering improved safety and environmental compatibility.
