Ultrathin quantum light source with van der Waals NbOCl2 crystal

Qiangbing Guo et al.

Summary: A van der Waals crystal, niobium oxide dichloride (NbOCl2), has been found to exhibit weakened interlayer electronic coupling and monolayer-like excitonic behavior in the bulk form. It also has a scalable second-harmonic generation intensity that is three orders higher than that in monolayer WS2. Additionally, the strong second-order nonlinearity in thin flakes as thin as 46 nm enables correlated parametric photon pair generation through a spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) process. This is the first SPDC source demonstrated in two-dimensional layered materials and the thinnest SPDC source ever reported. This research opens avenues for developing van der Waals material-based ultracompact on-chip SPDC sources and high-performance photon modulators in both classical and quantum optical technologies.

Highly Efficient Sum-Frequency Generation in Niobium Oxydichloride NbOCl2 Nanosheets

Ibrahim Abdelwahab et al.

Summary: Parametric infrared upconversion is a nonlinear optical process that converts low-frequency IR photons into high-frequency ultraviolet/visible photons. It is of great importance for various applications, such as security, material science, and healthcare. However, the upconversion efficiency for nanometer-scale materials is typically very low due to limited depth of excitation fields.

Defect-assisted wavelength dependence of one photon and multiphoton absorptions in a composite nanofiber of polyvinylpyrrolidone and hexagonal boron nitride

Yasemin Pepe et al.

Summary: Polyvinylpyrrolidone/hexagonal boron nitride (PVP/hBN) composite nanofibers were produced by electrospinning at different concentrations of hBN to investigate their effects on nonlinear absorption and optical limiting behavior. The addition of hBN led to a decrease in the diameter of the nanofibers and an increase in defect states. The composite nanofibers exhibited positive nonlinear absorption signals and showed a more pronounced behavior at 1064 nm.

Ferroelectricity in Niobium Oxide Dihalides NbOX2 (X = Cl, I): A Macroscopic- to Microscopic-Scale Study

Chaofei Liu et al.

Summary: A systematic study of the ferroelectric properties in 2D materials NbOX2 (X = Cl, I) reveals that NbOCl2 exhibits stronger ferroelectricity than NbOI2. The presence of 1D collinear ferroelectric strips is observed in NbOCl2. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging provides insights into the unreconstructed atomic structures of NbOX2 surfaces, while scanning tunneling spectroscopy probes the electronic states induced at defect (vacancy) sites.

Fluorescent Origin and Chiral Nature of Mo''bius Carbon Nanobelts

Biyu Sun et al.

Summary: In this paper, we theoretically explore the physical mechanism of the fluorescent origin and chiral nature of Möbius carbon nanobelts. The electron-hole recombination is promoted by the electron-hole aggregation on the twisted moiety, resulting in strong fluorescence. The chiral nature of Möbius carbon nanobelts is revealed by the interaction between the transition electric and the magnetic dipole moments, causing the observed Cotton effects in the ECD spectra. Möbius strip molecules are inherently chiral due to their topology, generating two non-superimposable mirror images.

Manipulating Peierls Distortion in van der Waals NbOX2 Maximizes Second-Harmonic Generation

Tonghuan Fu et al.

Summary: Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have potential applications in nanoscale nonlinear optical devices due to their relaxed phase-matching conditions and highly tunable optical nonlinearity. By applying pressure and introducing anionic substitution, the structural distortion and second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensity of NbOI2 and NbO(I1-xBrx)(2) compounds can be effectively modulated, leading to a significant enhancement in SHG. This work demonstrates the correlation between Peierls distortion and SHG property, and provides new paths for the development of advanced nonlinear optical materials.

Giant enhancement of optical nonlinearity in two-dimensional materials by multiphoton-excitation resonance energy transfer from quantum dots

Hao Hong et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that coating a sub-200-nm-thick quantum dot film on two-dimensional materials can significantly enhance their nonlinear optical responses by more than three orders of magnitude. This enhancement is driven by a non-trivial mechanism of multiphoton-excitation resonance energy transfer, where the quantum dots deliver their strongly absorbed multiphoton energy to the adjacent two-dimensional materials.
