However, several obstacles hinder the large-scale implementation of FO membranes for nutrient reclamation and enrichment. Overcoming challenges such as insufficient ion selectivity, suboptimal water flux, and a heightened vulnerability to fouling during extended use is essential for improving the performance and feasibility of FO systems. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of recent advancements in functionalized FO membranes specifically designed for nutrient recovery and enrichment in wastewater treatment. It critically examines the limitations of traditional FO membranes and explores innovative modification strategies, like surface modifications and nanomaterial integrations, that have been developed to enhance membrane performance.

Such is the plasmon excitation or pumping mechanism which, although indirect, is very efficient and hence may give rise to formation of plasmonic coherent states. In turn, these states may act as a source or sink of energy and momentum for escaping electrons. Starting from the model Hamiltonian approach we show that prepumped plasmonic bath of coherent states gives rise to ponderomotive potentials and Floquet electronic band structure that support multiple plasmon-induced electron emission or plasmoemission from metals. Theoretical description of multiple plasmoemission requires a nonperturbative approach which is here formulated by applying cumulant expansion and Volkov ansatz to the calculations of electron wavefunctions and emission rates. The calculations are performed in the standard length gauge as well as in the Pauli-transformed velocity gauge for electron–plasmon interaction. The applicability of two nonperturbative approaches to calculation of excitation amplitudes are examined in each gauge. They smoothly interpolate between the fully quantal first order Born approximation and semiclassical multiplasmon-induced electron excitation limit. This is illustrated on the example of plasmoemission from Floquet surface bands on Ag(111) from which this channel of electron yield has been detected. Our calculations indicate that even subsingle mode occupations of plasmonic coherent states can support multiplasmon electron emission from surface bands. A way of calibration of plasmonic coherent states is proposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":416,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Surface Science","volume":"100 1","pages":"Article 100768"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following optical stimulus by femtosecond light pulses (1 fs = 10^-15 s), transient electronic and lattice excitations can drive phase transitions in solids. Coherent control schemes facilitate a selective transfer of optical energy to specific electronic or vibrational degrees of freedom, as exemplified by the steering of molecular reactions via optical pulse sequences in femtochemistry. However, a transfer of this concept from molecules to solids requires coupling of few decisive phonons to optical transitions in the electronic band structure, and a weak coupling to other lattice modes to maximize coherence times. In this respect, atomic indium wires on the (111) surface of silicon represent a highly attractive model system, with a Peierls-like phase transition between insulating (8×2) and metallic (4×1) structures, governed by shear and rotation phonons. This review provides a survey on our advances in the time-resolved probing and coherent vibrational control of the In/Si(111) surface. In particular, we discuss how coherent atomic motion can be harnessed to affect the efficiency and threshold of the phase transition. Starting from a description of the (8×2) and (4×1) equilibrium structures and key vibrational modes, we study the structural dynamics following single-pulse optical excitation of the (8×2) phase. Our results highlight the ballistic order-parameter motion in the nonequilibrium transition as well as the impact of microscopic heterogeneity on the excitation and subsequent relaxation of the metastable photo-induced (4×1) phase.
