The control of luminous radiation has extremely important implications for modern and future
technologies as well as in medicine. In this Review, we detail chemical structures and their …

This review provides a comprehensive description of nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of
gold nanoparticles, which can be used in biological applications. The main focus is placed …

Employing high-yield production of layered materials by liquid-phase exfoliation,
molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) dispersions with large populations of single and few layers …

Noble metal nanoparticles are capable of confining resonant photons in such a manner as
to induce coherent surface plasmon oscillation of their conduction band electrons, a …

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed …

A series of layered molybdenum dichalcogenides, ie, MoX2 (X= S, Se and Te), were
prepared in cyclohexyl pyrrolidinone by a liquid-phase exfoliation technique. The high …

Graphene is an attractive material for all-optical modulation because of its ultrafast optical
response and broad spectral coverage. However, all-optical graphene modulators reported …

The synthesis of gold nanospheres via the reduction of AuCl4-salt by sodium citrate has
been revisited, with focus on the mechanism of particle growth. In stark contrast to the widely …

This paper reviews the recent development of inorganic and hybrid nanomaterials for optical
limiting applications. The synthesis, testing method, optical limiting property and mechanism …

Metamaterials are artificial materials made of subwavelength elementary cells that give rise
to unexpected wave properties that do not exist naturally. However, these properties are …
