Second harmonic generation in colloidal CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets
Results in Physics. 2020. Vol. 19. Article 103503.
In this Letter, we report the second harmonic generation (SHG) in a colloidal solution of CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets (NPLs) in the case of two-photon excitation in the region of exciton transition from the light holes sub-band to the conduction sub-band (549 nm, 1lh-1e) by femtosecond laser pulses (1064 nm, 100 kHz). Discovery of the SHG in colloidal solutions of NPLs opens up new perspectives for their use as biomarkers or for optical imaging, since in contrast to two-photon photoluminescence the SHG can increase both spectral and temporal resolution by several orders of magnitude. The SHG is also extremely important to consider when designing two-photon pumping lasers.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Manufacturing precise quantum computers with small errors in quantum operations, long coherence times, and low power consumption is the most important challenge in modern nanoelectronics. To understand the operating modes of such calculators in detail, both the optimal arrangement of the qubit system within the structure and changes in its magnetic properties must be comprehensively ...

Atomically-thin materials continue to captivate researchers due to their extraordinary physical properties that often surpass those of their bulk forms. Among them, two-dimensional (2D) silicates hold particular promise, yet their nonlinear optical characteristics remain largely underexplored. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the size-dependent nonlinear optical response and optical limiting characteristics of 2D rhodonite ...

Two sodium phosphate glasses with different structure (meta- and orthophosphate ones) were thermally poled well below the glass transition temperatures. Glass with an orthophosphate structure (glass LA30) demonstrated a typical behavior of polarization current, that is, monotonic current decrease; however, in glass with a metaphosphate structure (glass LA10) the current first increased for 15–20 min and only then started ...

For the first time,we have registered, studied, andmodeled the Maxwell–Wagner effect in structures with a smooth gradient of charge carriers’ mobility. The Maxwell–Wagner charge, formed after applying a DC voltage to the gradient
structure at room temperature, is distributed over the entire region of the gradient. The experiments were performed with slides of a soda-lime glass subjected to sodium-to-potassium ion ...

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a well-known nonlinear spectroscopy method to probe electronic
structure, specifically, in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers. This work investigates the
nonlinear dynamics of a strongly excited TMDC monolayer by solving the time evolution equations for the
density matrix. It is shown that the presence of excitons qualitatively changes the nonlinear dynamics leading,
in particular, to ...

When two resonantly interacting modes are in contact with a thermostat, their statistics is exactly Gaussian and the modes are statistically independent despite strong interaction. Considering a noise-driven system, we show that when one mode is pumped and another dissipates, the statistics of such cascades is never close to Gaussian, no matter what is the ...

An analytical study of the second harmonic generation by metal core - dielectric shell spherical nanoparticles was performed. Dependences of the second harmonic intensity on the dielectric shell thickness were calculated. We demonstrated that the thin coating allows tuning surface plasmon resonance wavelength, whereas in presence of the thick shell spatial Mie resonances occur. Estimated ...

We study second-harmonic generation from gold nanoislands covered with amorphous titanium oxide
(TiO2) films. As the TiO2 thickness increases, the plasmon resonance of the nanoislands shifts away from the second-harmonic wavelength of 532 nm, diminishing the resonant enhancement of the process at this wavelength. Nevertheless, the second-harmonic signal is enhanced by up to a factor of ...
