Similar to the traditional self‐assembly strategy, polymerization induced self‐assembly and reorganization (PISR) can produce a myriad of polymeric morphologies through morphology transitions. Besides the chain length ratio (R) of the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic blocks, the chain mobility in the intermediate nano‐objects, which is a requisite for morphology transition, is a determining factor in the formation of the final morphology. Although various morphologies have been fabricated, hexagonally packed hollow hoops (HHHs) with highly ordered internal structure have not, to the best of our knowledge, been prepared by PISR. In this article, the fabrication of HHHs through morphology transition from large compound vesicles to HHHs is reported. HHHs with highly regular internal structure may have significance in theoretical research and practical applications of nanomaterials.
A hypercrosslinked conjugated microporous polymer (HCMP‐1) with a robustly efficient absorption and highly specific sensitivity to mercury ions (Hg2+) is synthesized in a one‐step Friedel–Crafts alkylation of cost‐effective 2,4,6‐trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine and dibenzofuran in 1,2‐dichloroethane. HCMP‐1 has a moderate Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface (432 m2 g−1), but it displays a high adsorption affinity (604 mg g−1) and excellent trace efficiency for Hg2+. The π–π* electronic transition among the aromatic heterocyclic rings endows HCMP‐1 a strong fluorescent property and the fluorescence is obviously weakened after Hg2+ uptake, which makes the hypercrosslinked conjugated microporous polymer a promising fluorescent probe for Hg2+ detection, owning a super‐high sensitivity (detection limit 5 × 10−8 mol L−1).
Cyclic polystyrene (PS) with a pendant coumarin group is prepared by the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization and “click” chemistry. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer process is observed in the fluorescence measurement of coumarin‐containing PS, and cyclic PS exhibits stronger emission than that of its linear precursor. When cyclic PS is irradiated under UV light at λ = 365 nm, 8‐shaped PS is achieved due to the dimerization of pendant coumarin group. Subsequently, 8‐shaped PS can be divided into single macrocycle under UV irradiation at λ = 254 nm via the photocleavage of coumarin dimer. The photoinduced coupling and dissociation are monitored by UV/vis spectra and gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
Recent realization of nontrivial topological phases in photonic systems has provided unprecedented opportunities in steering light flow in novel manners. Based on the Su–Schriffer–Heeger (SSH) model, a topologically protected optical mode was successfully demonstrated in a plasmonic waveguide array with a kinked interface that exhibits a robust nonspreading feature. However, under the same excitation conditions, another antikinked structure seemingly cannot support such a topological interface mode, which appears to be inconsistent with the SSH model. Theoretical calculations are carried out based on the coupled‐mode theory, in which the mode properties, excitation conditions, and the robustness are studied in detail. It is revealed that under the exact eigenstate excitations, both kinked and antikinked structures do support such robust topological interface modes; however, for a realistic single‐waveguide input only the kinked structure does so. It is concluded that the symmetry of interface eigenmodes plays a crucial role, and the odd eigenmode in a kinked structure offers the capacity to excite the nonspreading interface mode in the realistic excitation of a one‐waveguide input. Our finding deepens the understanding of mode excitation and propagation in coupled waveguide systems, and could open a new avenue in optical simulations and photonic designs.
The feasibility of realizing a photonic Floquet topological insulator (PFTI) in an atomic ensemble is demonstrated. The interference of three coupling fields will split energy levels periodically, to form a periodic refractive index structure with honeycomb profile that can be adjusted by different frequency detunings and intensities of the coupling fields. This in turn will affect the appearance of Dirac cones in momentum space. When the honeycomb lattice sites are helically ordered along the propagation direction, gaps open at Dirac points, and one obtains a PFTI in an atomic vapor. An obliquely incident beam will be able to move along the zigzag edge of the lattice without scattering energy into the PFTI, due to the confinement of edge states. The appearance of Dirac cones and the formation of a photonic Floquet topological insulator can be shut down by the third‐order nonlinear susceptibility and opened up by the fifth‐order one.
