Abstract： Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) have played a significant role in improving the light emission efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this report, polygonal nanoholes have been fabricated in the p-GaN layer of InGaN-based LEDs by using Ni nanoporous film as the etching mask, and then Au/Al metal nanoparticles are embedded in the nanoholes to form the LSP structure. The coupling between the LSP and the LED has been clearly observed. The results show that the light output of the LEDs has been increased by 46% at higher current injection condition, and together with a shift of the gain peak position to the LSP peak resonance energy. As the coupling distance is decreased from 60 nm to 30 nm, the maximum enhancement factor increases to 2.38. The above results indicate that the LSP from the polygonal metal nanoparticles is a kind of very promising structure to enhance the lighting performance of the InGaN-based LEDs.

Abstract： The capability of direct photocurrent detection of orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light has recently been realized with topological Weyl semimetal, but limited to near infrared wavelength range. The extension of direct OAM detection to midinfrared, a wavelength range that plays important role in a vast range of applications, such as autonomous driving, night vision and motion detection, is challenging and has not yet been realized. This is because most studies of photocurrent responses are not sensitive to the phase information and the photo response is usually very poor in the mid-infrared. In this study, we designed a photodetector based on Type-II Weyl semimetal tantalum iridium tellurides with designed electrode geometries for direct detection of the topological charge of OAM through orbital photogalvanic effect. Our results indicate helical phase gradient of light can be distinguished by a current winding around the optical beam axis with a magnitude proportional to its quantized OAM mode number. The topological enhanced response at mid-infrared of TaIrTe4 further help overcome the low responsivity issues and finally render the direct orbital angular momentum detection capability in mid-infrared. Our study enables on-chip integrated OAM detection, and thus OAM sensitive focal plane arrays in mid-infrared. Such capability triggers new route to explore applications of light carrying OAM, especially that it can crucially promote the performance of many mid-infrared imaging related applications, such as intricate target recognition and night vision.

Abstract： The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains elusive. Understanding how, when, and where SARS-CoV-2 was transmitted from its natural reservoir to human beings is crucial for preventing future coronavirus outbreaks. With the lessons learned from the endless battle with pathogens and accumulated research data with regard to the origin and intermediate host, we present multiple potential locations as the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV-2.
