Article Abstract
Transition-metal (TM) doped II-VI ceramics like Cr:ZnS/ZnSe have garnered significant attention as mid-infrared (MIR) laser gain media due to their broad emission spectrum and power scalability. Here, we report the doping profile engineering for laser ceramics via an empirical revision of Fick's diffusion model for Cr:ZnS, and its application to in-situ laser performance optimization. Using a 30 output coupler, the system achieved a maximum laser output power of 5.8 W and a maximum slope efficiency of 53.5, reaching 81 of the intrinsic Stokes limit. The output power is further amplified to nearly 10 W with an optimized trade-off between gain and thermal management, as previously noted, which again enabled the ion concentration selection in a single-pass master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. This approach is broadly applicable to thermally diffused gain media, paving the way for advancing high-efficiency and high-performance MIR laser sources for both fundamental research and industrial/medical applications.

This study examined the effect of natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) concentration on the kinetics of glucomannan swelling and deacetylation during the purification process and the characteristics of purified porang glucomannan (PGM). NADES was prepared from betaine and 1,2-propanediol (BPG14) at concentrations ranging from 30 % to 100 % (W/W). The deacetylation degree, along with the structural, thermal, and rheological properties of PGM, as well as the rate of glucomannan swelling and deacetylation, were investigated.

Complex face-centered-cubic (FCC) alloys frequently display chemical short-range ordering (CSRO), which can be detected through the analysis of diffuse scattering. However, the interpretation of diffuse scattering is complicated by the presence of defects and thermal diffuse scattering, making it extremely challenging to distinguish CSRO using conventional scattering techniques. This complexity has sparked intense debates regarding the origin of specific diffuse-scattering signals, such as those observed at 1/3{422} and 1/2{311} positions.

Coarsening and degradation phenomena in metals have largely focused on thermally driven processes, such as bulk and surface diffusion. However, dramatic coarsening has been reported in high-surface-area, nanometer-sized Pt-based catalysts during potential cycling in an electrolyte at room temperature─a temperature too low for the process to be explained purely by surface mobility values measured in both vacuum and electrolytes (∼10 and ∼10 cm/s, respectively). This morphological evolution must be due to a different mechanism for mass transport that is sensitive to electrochemical conditions (e.

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem (PST) solar cells are rapidly emerging as next-generation solar cells with significant potential for commercialization. This study presents a proof of concept for a silicon diffused junction-based PST cell, utilizing a passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cell with a low-temperature (<200 °C) laser-fired contact process to minimize thermal damage. By introducing amorphous silicon to the emitter surface of PERC bottom cell, the open circuit voltage (V) improve from 0.

Organic-inorganic hybrid thiocyanates include a variety of compositions and structure types. To develop a better understanding of the interactions that control the crystal structure in this family of materials, six hybrid thiocyanate halide compounds with the general formula ACd(SCN)X (A = CHNH, CHCHNH, CH(CH)NH, CH(CH)NH; X = Cl, Br) have been synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that five of the six compounds crystallize with triclinic 1̅ symmetry, the lone exception being (CH(CH)NH)Cd(SCN)Cl which adopts 2/ symmetry.
