Article Abstract
Type-II superlattice (T2SL) material systems are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional materials such as InGaAs and HgCdTe for extended short-wavelength infrared (eSWIR) detection, a field experiencing growing demand due to its diverse applications. However, T2SL photodetectors typically suffer from relatively low quantum efficiency. In this study, we demonstrate a significant enhancement in the quantum efficiency of eSWIR T2SL photodetectors through the implementation of a photon-trapping structure. The photon-trapping structure, consisting of top diffraction gratings and a bottom reflective metal layer incorporated via wafer bonding, effectively increases the optical path length within the active region by redirecting incident light to propagate laterally. Optical measurements demonstrate a 77.2% improvement in average quantum efficiency for the photon-trapping photodetector compared to a conventional reference photodetector over the 1.7 μm to 2.5 μm wavelength range. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of electric field distributions and optical resonance analyses reveal that this enhancement is driven by the combined effects of Fabry-Perot resonances and multiple guided-mode resonances, arising from the synergy between the bottom reflective metal and the diffraction grating.

Artificial neural networks are limited in the number of patterns that they can store and accurately recall, with capacity constraints arising from factors such as network size, architectural structure, pattern sparsity, and pattern dissimilarity. Exceeding these limits leads to recall errors, eventually leading to catastrophic forgetting, which is a major challenge in continual learning. In this study, we characterize the theoretical maximum memory capacity of single-layer feedforward networks as a function of these parameters.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as a promising technology for next-generation display and lighting applications, thanks to their remarkable colour purity, tunability, and ease of fabrication. In this work, we explore the incorporation of plasmonic spherical nanoparticles (NPs) directly embedded into the green-emitting CsPbBr perovskite layer in a PeLED as a strategy to enhance both its optical and electrical properties. We find that plasmonic effects directly boost spontaneous emission while also influencing charge carrier recombination dynamics.

Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been around for a few decades. Low cell toxicity, good water solubility, excellent and tunable fluorescence properties, and the ability to dope and modify the surface of these CQDs make them an incredible choice for the visualization and treatment of various cancers. This perspective analyzes some recent progress on size-color correlation, modification, and cancer treatment applications of CQDs.

Multifunctional materials that simultaneously possess intrinsic magnetic and superhard properties, particularly those composed of light elements, have a wide range of applications in advanced sensors, shielding, durable devices, and other fields. However, research on the development and understanding of such materials remains limited. In this study, a series of 3D C covalent networks derived from the C fullerene precursor were theoretically designed.

Single-component white-light-emitters ensure color stability while reducing device complexity, and are ideal candidates for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the realization of single-component white-light emission with high efficiency and stability is still a challenge. Herein, a supramolecular cation strategy was used to synthesize the organic-inorganic hybrid copper(I) halide [(AMTA)(18C6)]CuI (1), with AMTA = 1-adamantanamine and 18C6 = 18-crown-6.
