Control over the local chemical composition and spatial heterogeneities in nanomaterials provides a means to impart new functions and to tailor their properties in many applications. For two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials, intercalation is one

Operation of any dual-comb spectrometer requires digitization of the interference signal before further processing. Nonlinearities in the analog-to-digital conversion can alter the apparent gas concentration by multiple percent, limiting both precision and

Clear visualization and understanding of luminescence properties of grain interiors and grain boundaries in polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic materials are crucial to achieving high-performance solar cells. Luminescence-based measurements, for example

We quantify the percent-level bias in dual-comb spectroscopy due to nonlinearities from the analog-to-digital conversion and demonstrate a compensation method to enable gas concentration measurements with 0.2% accuracy.

Rydberg atoms show great promise for use as self-calibrated electric field sensors for a broad range of frequencies. Their response is traceable to the international system of units making them a valuable tool for a variety of applications including

Using well-calibrated experimental data we demonstrate the applicability of theoretical X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) as well as X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) calculations for titanium (Ti), titanium oxide (TiO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) at

Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) is capable of producing high-quality Raman spectra spanning broad bandwidths, 400–4000 cm−1, with millisecond acquisition times. Raw BCARS spectra, however, are a coherent combination of vibrationally

Spectroscopy simulations are a critical tool for the interpretation of experiment, the development of new theoretical understanding, and fast screening of new molecules and materials. Systematically setting up input files for different simulation codes and

We present a thermal velocity sampling method for calculating Doppler-broadened atomic spectra, which more efficiently reaches a smooth limit than regular velocity weighted sampling. The method uses equal-population sampling of the 1-D thermal distribution

Parylene C is a widely used dielectric barrier in implantable medical devices because it conforms well to surfaces and insulates against biological environments. However, multiple studies have shown that moisture can intrude into Parylene C films through

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) can prepare organic glasses with a preferred molecular orientation. The relationships between deposition conditions and orientation have been extensively investigated in the film bulk. The role of interfaces on the structure

The modular synthesis approach for assembling inorganic nodes and organic multidentate linkers into reticular solids enables rational engineering in porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Incorporation of two or more linker types in MOF

We demonstrate a passively pumped, chip-scale atomic beam clock fabricated using a stack of silicon and glass wafers. The device could additionally serve as a platform for compact atom interferometers and other future quantum sensors.
Thermoset composites are excellent candidates for material extrusion because they shear thin during extrusion but retain their shape once deposited via a yield stress. However, thermal post-curing is often required to solidify these materials, which can

We present dual-comb spectroscopy across a 14.5-km path using remote receiver and data acquisition. This configuration results in lower link losses compared to open-path configurations with co-located transmitter and receiver.
