Chiral Reticular Self‐Assembly of Achiral AIEgen into Optically Pure Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with Dual Mechano‐Switchable Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is attractive in understanding the excited‐state chirality and developing advanced materials. Herein, we propose a chiral reticular self‐assembly strategy to unite achiral AIEgens, chirality donors, and metal ions to fabricate optically pure AIEgen metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as efficient CPL materials. We have found that CPL activity of the single‐crystal AIEgen MOF was generated by the framework‐enabled strong emission from AIEgens and through‐space chirality transfer from chirality donors to achiral AIEgens via metal‐ion bridges. For the first time, a dual mechano‐switched blue and red‐shifted CPL activity was achieved via ultrasonication and grinding, which enabled the rotation or stacking change of AIEgen rotors with the intact homochiral framework. This work provided not only an insightful view of the aggregation induced emission (AIE) mechanism, but also an efficient and versatile strategy for the preparation of stimuli‐responsive CPL materials.     

Crystallization‐Driven Asymmetric Helical Assembly of Conjugated Block Copolymers and the Aggregation Induced White‐light Emission and Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Controlling the self‐assembly morphology of π‐conjugated block copolymer is of great interesting. Herein, amphiphilic poly(3‐hexylthiophene)‐block‐poly(phenyl isocyanide)s (P3HT‐b‐PPI) copolymers composed of π‐conjugated P3HT and optically active helical PPI segments were readily prepared. Taking advantage of the crystallizable nature of P3HT and the chirality of the helical PPI segment, crystallization‐driven asymmetric self‐assembly (CDASA) of the block copolymers lead to the formation of single‐handed helical nanofibers with controlled length, narrow dispersity, and well‐defined helicity. During the self‐assembly process, the chirality of helical PPI was transferred to the supramolecular assemblies, giving the helical assemblies large optical activity. The single‐handed helical assemblies of the block copolymers exhibited interesting white‐light emission and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The handedness and dissymmetric factor of the induced CPL can be finely tuned through the variation on the helicity and length of the helical nanofibers.

Raman spectroscopy of bromine chains inside the one‐dimensional channels of AlPO4‐5 single crystals

Raman spectroscopy of the one‐dimensional atomic or molecular chains, which are the attractive building blocks of advanced nanoscale materials, is crucial in understanding the physical properties of the one‐dimensional atomic or molecular chains. Here, we introduce the bromine into the one‐dimensional channels of AlPO₄‐5 single crystals through a physical vapor diffusion method. Raman spectroscopy indicates that the confined bromine structures mainly exist as (Br₂)_n chains, individual Br₂ molecules, and a small amount of Br₃⁻ chains inside the channels of AlPO₄‐5 single crystals. Polarized Raman spectra demonstrate that the bromine molecular chains are approximately parallel to the channel direction of AlPO₄‐5 single crystals. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Liquid Crystals Nanocomposites for Photovoltaic Applications: Structural Properties

Nanocomposites consisting of liquid crystals and nanoparticles have been studied for their applications in devices, such as photovoltaics and to model biological devices. Understanding the structure the liquid crystal assumes in the vicinity of the nanoparticles, and how it compares to the bulk structure of the liquid crystals gives us an idea of how light, and electrons are transmitted from the liquid crystal to the nanoparticle and how sharp is this transmission. The structure depends on the functionalization (or lack of it) that the nanoparticle has and seems to reflect the faceting or the arrangement of the nanoparticle.     

An approach to remove the background light based on linearly polarized light in the inter-satellite optical communications

In the inter-satellite optical communications, background light is an important factor that worsens the acquisition performance and tracking precision of the system. In general, optical filters are applied in eliminating background light. But the bandwidth of the optical filter is a bottleneck for improving the performance of the optical system further. We propose a new method for decreasing background light, in which linearly polarized light is employed as the beacon light. The theoretical model of acquisition probability is derived. Contrastive analysis is performed, among the system with the pure optical filter, the system using the linearly polarized light and the system with the circularly polarized light. Numerical simulations and experimental verification lead to the conclusion that acquisition probability of the system with linearly polarized light is greater than that of the other systems, and this approach is effective. This work can benefit the design of inter-satellite optical communication system.     

Spatial correlation properties of apertured partially coherent radially polarized beams in turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral, the analytical formulae for the cross-spectral density matrix of the partially coherent radially polarized beams diffracted at a circular aperture in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The unapertured and free-space cases can be viewed as the special cases of our general result. By using the degree of coherence formula, the spatial correlation properties of the apertured partially coherent radially polarized beams in turbulent atmosphere are studied. The analyses indicate that the spatial correlation of the apertured partially coherent radially polarized beams are more affected by the atmospheric turbulence with the larger structure constant, the smaller truncation parameter, the larger coherence length, and the farther propagation distance.     

不同涂层对微粗糙基底的极化光散射影响

为了研究涂层与基底间的极化光散射,应用一阶矢量衍射理论推导出基底极化双向反射分布函数(PBRDF)。将理论分析结果与实验数据比较并数值模拟分析了在相关和非相关模型下,SiO2和TiO2涂层厚度对PBRDF的影响。考察了不同折射率对基底PBRDF的影响。结果表明随着SiO2涂层厚度的增加,相关和非相关模型下的PBRDF逐渐靠近同时逐渐和裸基底重合,即能逐渐复现基底的粗糙度轮廓;随着TiO2涂层厚度的增加,PBRDF逐渐变大,即TiO2涂层对基底有较好的平滑作用。折射率的实部和虚部对PBRDF的影响相反。因此通过对不同涂层PBRDF进行测量和计算可以反演出基底的光学信息。
