Metasurfaces are versatile tools for manipulating light; however, they have received little attention as devices for the efficient control of nonlinearly diffracted light. Here, we …
In this work, the dewetting process of an amorphous-Ge-based thin film (a-Ge) upon annealing has been studied, highlighting the morphological and structural properties of the …
Silicon‐based micro‐and nano‐structures for light management at near‐infrared and visible frequencies have been widely exploited for guided optics and metasurfaces. However, light …
Materials featuring anomalous suppression of density fluctuations over large length scales are emerging systems known as disordered hyperuniform. The underlying hidden order …
The exploration of crystalline nanostructures enhances the understanding of quantum phenomena occurring in spatially confined quantum matter and may lead to functional …
Polarization control through all-dielectric metasurfaces holds great potential in different fields, such as telecommunications, biochemistry and holography. Asymmetric chiral …
Dewetted, SiGe nanoparticles have been successfully exploited for light management in the visible and near-infrared, although their scattering properties have been so far only …
Nowadays, there is an increased demand to develop alternative non-plastic packaging to be used in the food industry. The most popular biodegradable films are cellulose and poly …
