Tunable strong plasmon-exciton coupling based on borophene and deep subwavelength perovskite grating

Two-dimensional materials support deeply confined and tunable plasmonic modes, which have great potential for achieving device miniaturization and flexible manipulation. In this paper, we propose a diffraction-unlimited system composed of borophene layer and perovskite grating to investigate the strong coupling between the borophene guiding plasmon (BGP) and perovskite exciton (PE) mode. The resonant energy of BGP mode could be electrically tuned to match the energy of PE mode, and a remarkable Rabi splitting is attained under zero-detuning condition. The splitting energy could reach 230 meV due to the strong field enhancement provided by BGP mode. Consequently, an active reflective phase modulation with 1.76{\pi} range is achieved by dynamically manipulating the detuning. Furthermore, by increasing the distance between the borophene layer and perovskite grating, a parity-time symmetry breaking could be observed with the vanished energy splitting. Our results deepen the understanding of light-matter interaction at the sub-wavelength scale and provide a guideline for designing active plasmonic devices.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Active formation of Friedrich-Wintgen bound states in the continuum in dielectric dimerized grating borophene heterostructure

The Friedrich-Wintgen bound state in the continuum (FW BIC) provides a unique approach for achieving high quality factor (Q-factor) resonance, which has attracted wide attention and promoted the development of various applications. However, the FW BIC is usually considered as accident BIC resulting from the continuous parameters tuning, and a systematic approach to generate the FW BIC is still lacking. To address this, a method of actively forming FW BIC by matching the damping rate and resonance frequency of the coupling mode is proposed. As a proof-of-principle example, we propose a dielectric dimerized grating borophene heterostructure that generates a FW BIC near the commercially important communication wavelength. The coupling system comprises an electrically tunable borophene plasmon mode and a BIC supported by a dielectric dimer grating that can be attributed to the Brillouin zone folding. More interestingly, the BIC can be excited by the localized borophene plasmon (LBP) mode through near-field coupling as LBP mode can be considered as the dipole source. The interaction between them can further form the FW BIC, and support electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like with maximum group index up to 2043, indicating its great potential for slow light applications. Our results provide a promising strategy and theoretical support for the generation of FW BIC in active plasmonic optical devices

A triclinic polymorph with Z = 3 of N,N′-bis­(2-pyrid­yl)oxamide

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H10N4O2, contains three half-mol­ecules. Each half-mol­ecule is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The title compound, (I), is a polymorph of the structure, (II), reported by Hsu & Chen [Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. (2004), 1488–1493]. In the original report, the compound crystallized in the tetra­gonal space group P 21c (Z = 8), whereas the structure reported here is triclinic (P , Z = 3). In both forms, each oxamide mol­ecule is almost planar (with maximum deviations are 0.266 and 0.166 Å) and the O atoms are trans oriented. The principal difference between the two forms lies in the different hydrogen-bonding patterns. In (I), two N—H⋯O and one N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, forming a two-dimensional network, whereas in (II) there are no classical hydrogen bonds to O atoms and only weak C—H⋯O inter­actions are found along with rings of N—H⋯N bonds

Stator vibration of generator under SAERISC faults

This paper analyzes the stator vibration response under static air-gap eccentricity and rotor inter-turn short circuit composite faults (SAERISC). The detailed formula of the magnetic force on stator is firstly deduced. Then the finite element simulations and practical experiments are taken to investigate the stator vibration response. It’s shown that, 1st to 4th stator vibrations will be produced. The development of the short circuit will decrease the 2nd vibration but increase the 4th vibration, while the increment of the eccentricity will increase the 1st to 4th vibrations at the same time

tert-Butyl N-(5-bromo-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylmeth­yl)carbamate

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C12H15BrN4O2, the imidazole and pyridine rings are strictly coplanar [maximum deviation 0.006 (3) Å]. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into chains running parallel to the a axis by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Centrosymmetrically related chains are further connected by N—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions to form a two-dimensional layer structure parallel to the ab plane

Brominated Selinane Sesquiterpenes from the Marine Brown Alga Dictyopteris divaricata

Two new brominated selinane sesquiterpenes, 1-bromoselin-4(14),11-diene (1) and 9-bromoselin-4(14),11-diene (2), one known cadinane sesquiterpene, cadalene (3), and four known selinane sesquiterpenes, α-selinene (4), β-selinene (5), β-dictyopterol (6), and cyperusol C (7), were isolated from a sample of marine brown alga Dictyopteris divaricata collected off the coast of Yantai (China). Their structures were established by detailed MS and NMR spectroscopic analysis, as well as comparison with literature data

N′-(2-Bromo-5-hy­droxy-4-meth­oxy­benzyl­idene)-3,5-dihy­droxy­benzo­hydrazide methanol monosolvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C15H13BrN2O5·CH3OH, the methanol solvent mol­ecule links symmetry-related mol­ecules through O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Further inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link symmetry-related mol­ecules, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network. Two of the H atoms involved in hydrogen bonding are disordered. The dihedral angle between the rings is 5.64 (14)°
