Transparent conducting oxides are popular materials for electrostatically tunable metasurfaces due to their voltage-tunable plasma frequencies along with epsilon-near-zero dispersion points that fall in the infrared. Ion-gel-gated films of the transparent conductor perovskite BaSnO<sub>3</sub> show large, low power changes in carrier density and electron mobility under electron accumulation. However, the corresponding optical changes in ion-gel-gated BaSnO<sub>3</sub> are unknown. Here, we study near-infrared refractive index modulation in ion-gel-gated La-doped BSO for active metasurfaces through optical modeling rooted in realistic material data. Near-infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry of as-grown <i>n</i>-type BaSnO<sub>3</sub> films establishes Drude optical parameters vs carrier density. We then ion-gel-gate BaSnO<sub>3</sub> into electron accumulation, where in situ Hall effect measurements and subsequent electrostatic modeling reveal a ∼4-fold carrier density enhancement near the film surface despite high initial doping of >10<sup>20</sup> cm<sup>–3</sup>. We map doping-dependent Drude parameters onto the measured carrier density modulation, enabling us to model the voltage-dependent near-infrared refractive index changes in BaSnO<sub>3</sub>, which exceed unity at the 1550 nm telecom band. Finally, our voltage-dependent refractive index data enable simulations of plasmonic metasurfaces with BaSnO<sub>3</sub>, which we design to achieve reconfigurable beam steering at near-telecom wavelengths. These findings frame ion-gel gated BaSnO<sub>3</sub> as a promising material for reconfigurable infrared metasurfaces and motivate the design of similar tunable photonic devices based on its large refractive index changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":29803,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Optical Materials","volume":"3 5","pages":"1153–1161 1153–1161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, structural color photonic pigments, which derive their color from reflectance of light rather than absorption, can be made from sustainable, inexpensive materials and are nonfading. Supraparticles, which are spherical assemblies of colloidal particles, reflect light of a certain wavelength, depending on the particle size of the building blocks. In this work, we synthesized building blocks with an optimized scattering-to-absorption ratio by employing a polydopamine coating and created supraparticles via bulk emulsification and osmotic extraction. We evaluated the optical performance of water-based paint containing supraparticles of different sizes, polydispersities, structures, and degrees of absorption. We found that a larger size and higher polydispersity of the supraparticles led to paints with a wider reflection peak. The degree of crystallinity of the supraparticles, which decreased for polydopamine-coated compared to uncoated particles and was tuned via the osmotic pressure difference between droplets, had a comparatively smaller impact on the optical performance. Additionally, the scattering-to-absorption ratio of the building blocks allowed us to precisely tune the color in the paints. After these optimizations, the photonic supraparticle paints were used to paint several drawings to showcase their applicability, providing guidelines for high-quality photonic supraparticle pigments in water-based paints.</p>","PeriodicalId":29803,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Optical Materials","volume":"3 4","pages":"1025–1035 1025–1035"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsaom.5c00080","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
