In this study, focus is placed on hypervalent gallium azobenzene complexes with variable coordination motifs because of a wide accessible space around gallium. The six-, five-, and four-coordinated gallium azobenzene complexes are isolated with pyridine ligands, and it is observed that the coordination of pyridine can dynamically change in the solution. Interestingly, the enhancement of the absolute fluorescence quantum yields is observed by the suppressing structural relaxation as increasing the coordination number. Furthermore, it is found that the emission efficiency is enhanced as increasing donor number which represents the strength of Lewis basicity. Finally, it is demonstrated that the filter paper soaked by the synthesized gallium complex is prepared, and it worked as a turn-on luminescent sensor to easily visualize strength of Lewis basicity of solvents by simply dropping the solvent on the paper.

Here, the first realization of on-chip electron emission control using an active THz metasurface is reported. The device integrates resonant dipole antennas and bias arms on a fused silica substrate, enabling precise modulation of electron trajectories through electrostatic control. Experimental results, supported by particle-in-cell simulations, reveal that electron emission via Fowler–Nordheim tunneling can be dynamically steered by varying the applied bias. A positive bias suppresses emission by attracting electrons to the bias arms, while a negative bias repels them, allowing trajectory control and the emergence of new emission features. Time-of-flight measurements show distinct shifts in electron emission behavior, with strong correlation to bias voltage and THz field strength. This work demonstrates a practical approach to integrating ultrafast electron control into chip-scale systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":116,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Optical Materials","volume":"13 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adom.202500104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The molecular layer displays anisotropic optical properties resembling those of a biaxial crystal. The anisotropic excitonic component in the cavity results in strongly polarization-dependent light-matter interaction and in increased Rabi-energies. The increased light-matter interaction is possibly due to reduced molecular disorder in the templated molecular layer. This conclusion is supported by an analysis based on a multi-oscillator model. Photoluminescence microspectroscopy is further used to demonstrate that the light-matter coupling is spatially homogeneous. This study introduces molecular templating to strong light-matter studies.

Although Cr<sup>3+</sup>-doped zinc gallate nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied as in vivo bioimaging nanoprobes due to their NIR PersL emission at 695 nm, the simpler Cr<sup>3+</sup>-doped gallium oxide system has been less explored despite its deeper NIR emission (760 nm), which favors tissue penetration. This is likely due the lack of synthesis methods that render Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-based NPs suitable for in vivo applications. In this paper, a novel method for the synthesis of uniform and hydrophilic γ-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:Cr<sup>3+</sup> NPs is reported, whose photoluminescence (PL) and PersL are optimized by adjusting their Cr<sup>3+</sup> content. Such properties are further greatly improved through an annealing process at high temperature, which result in the transformation of its crystal structure into the β-phase. The obtained β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:Cr<sup>3+</sup> NPs are colloidally stable in a physiological pH simulator medium and are nontoxic for cells. Finally, this work studies, for the first time in literature, the in vivo biocompatibility of such NPs using a <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> (<i>C. elegans</i>) animal model, finding that their morbidity and reproductive toxicity are negligible.
