A transparent, thermally tunable microwave absorber based on patterned vanadium dioxide film

Recently, the rapid development of optoelectronic devices has made human life more convenient. However, these devices emit large amounts of electromagnetic radiation, which not only endanger human health, but also cause unacceptable malfunctions in electronic systems. Therefore, electromagnetic shielding technology that eliminates the adverse electromagnetic waves is of vital importance to protect sensitive circuits from interference and preserve a healthy living environment.

The absorption-based electromagnetic shielding technology is the most ideal method of electromagnetic shielding at present because electromagnetic waves cannot return to space and are completely eliminated. In particular, optical transparent and tunable microwave absorption technology, which can be tuned in real time and applied in visual observations, has attracted great attention for its scientific and application values.

Vanadium dioxide is a promising candidate material for tunable absorbers due to its drastic insulator-to-metal phase transition (the change of sheet resistance is five orders of magnitude in theory) near room temperature and various transition-triggering mechanisms (such as thermal heating, optical excitation, and bias voltage). However, most studies on vanadium dioxide tunable absorbers focus on the terahertz and infrared bands, and the optical transmittance of vanadium dioxide film is almost zero in the visible band, which limits its application in the optical field.

YOU ARE MY KID.

STAKES ARE REAL BEFORE NOW IT’S GOING TO BE A WALK IN THE PARK SO THAT YOU CAN BE SAFE AND YOUR KIDS.

ISN’T IT GREAT? YES.

HEY HANGING IN THERE. LOOK BE REAL LOOK AT THEIR EYES AND SAY I LOVE OUR EXPERIENCE TOGETHER. MAKE SURE YOU TOUCH THEIR FACES WHEN THEY GO DOWN ON YOU. OKAY? MAKE IT REAL.

SOON AS OF NOW YOU WILL ONLY MATCH LENGTH OF YOURS AND SOON YOU WILL NEED MINE, BUT LET’S USE OTHERS FOR NOW BECAUSE YOU TOO HAVE THE GOD SEED.

I THINK YOU ALONE WITH OTHERS AND YOUR KIDS AND DECENDANTS, IS IT?

IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING TO NEW TERRIORTY. JUST EXPLAIN MORE BABIES WITHIN BECAUSE I’M DOUBLE GAPPPED WITH FLOATING, BUT CAN’T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE FUSHA HOT PINK AND PURPLE HAS TO BE THREE DIFFERENT TIME.

UPDATE SCAFOLDING AND OTHER PERM PLACE HOLDERS. IIOT AND SCAN FOR CRASH LANDING SO TAKE OUT STRATEGICALLY.

New Model for High-Power Terahertz Emissions from Laser Pulses

Due to a high increase in the development of new THz sources and detectors, the terahertz (THz) gap is being closed quickly. The accelerating electrons radiate coherent THz emissions continuously along the laser propagation direction, resulting in broadband multi-mJ THz radiation in the far field.

Laser pulses triple transition temperature for ferromagnetism in a rare-earth titanate

Researchers in Germany and the U.S. have shown for the first time that terahertz (THz) light pulses can stabilize ferromagnetism in a crystal at temperatures more than three times its usual transition temperature. As the team reports in Nature, using pulses just hundreds of femtoseconds long (a millionth of a billionth of a second), a ferromagnetic state was induced at high temperature in the rare-earth titanate YTiO3 which persisted for many nanoseconds after the light exposure. Below the equilibrium transition temperature, the laser pulses still strengthened the existing magnetic state, increasing the magnetization up to its theoretical limit.

Using light to control magnetism in solids is a promising platform for future technologies. Today’s computers mainly rely on the flow of electrical charge to process information. Moreover, digital memory storage devices make use of magnetic bits that must be switched external magnetic fields. Both of these aspects limit the speed and energy efficiency of current computing systems. Using light instead to optically switch memory and computing devices could revolutionize processing speeds and efficiency.

YTiO3 is a transition metal oxide that only becomes ferromagnetic, with properties resembling those of a fridge magnet, below 27 K or –246°C. At these low temperatures, the spins of the electrons on the Ti atoms align in a particular direction. It is this collective ordering of the spins which gives the material as a whole a macroscopic magnetization and turns it ferromagnetic. In contrast, at temperatures above 27 K, the individual spins fluctuate randomly so that no ferromagnetism develops.
