摘要：太赫兹生物成像因其能以无标记、无创伤和非电离的方式获取样品的物理化学信息而颇受瞩目。但是，低介电常数生物分子的反射率问题，使得单分子精度的太赫兹成像仍是个挑战。针对于此，作者开发了种方法，用石墨烯介导的太赫兹频率散射型扫描近场光学显微镜，对单个蛋白分子直接成像。此项研究发现，拥有较高太赫兹反射率和原子平整度的石墨烯基底可以为蛋白分子提供较高的太赫兹对比度。另外，我们还发现对铂探针的轴长化能增强太赫兹散射近场信号中的振幅信号强度。基于这两个效应，作者同时获得了尺寸只有数纳米的免疫球蛋白G（IgG）和铁蛋白分子的形貌以及太赫兹散射图像。本文中所用的方法为单生物分子的太赫兹成像提供了新思路。

摘要：硫属化物相变材料（PCMs）在太赫兹（THz）频率下会发生光学声子共振现象，这个效应可被用于研究相变的基本性，并产生很强的介电对比度，使其可被用于太赫兹的光子学应用。在本文中，我们证明可以通过频率可调的太赫兹散射型扫描近场光学显微镜（s-SNOM）研究PCM的声子。其具体方法为对包含非晶相和结晶相的PCM样品进行太赫兹纳米光谱成像。我们观察到材料的声子征使其产生了很强的s-SNOM信号，以及重要的是，非晶态和结晶态PCM的光谱之间存在明显的差异，这使我们可以在纳米尺度上高信度地区分PCM的不同相。我们还发现可以通过增加针尖的半径来增强以信号强度和频谱对比度为标志的光谱征。综上所述，我们用太赫兹s-SNOM成功构建了基于局部声子光谱的纳米结构以及化学组成的图谱。

摘要：高度受限和低损耗的化子在石墨烯和六方氮化硼上是沿平面各向同性传播的，这使得对光的控制被限制在了有限的自由度内。而以α-MoO₃ and V₂O₅为代表的新兴双轴范德华材料则展现出了*的化传播性，它们的辅助光轴是在平面上的。用这种强平面各向异性，作者通过空间纳米成像观测到了α-MoO₃纳米腔的图样内有着受边界导向的双曲化子。并且发现边界的夹角和结晶方向对其光学响应信号有着举足轻重的影响，这对调整化图样的参数是至关重要的。基于此，通过调整α-MoO₃纳米腔的几何构型，我们观测到了双曲化子会延边界传播并且会调整自身传播方向的性以及与之对应的化子绕行禁·区。而这种双曲化子的寿命和性能指数则受到纳米腔边界宽高比的限制。

摘要：晶体结构对相关材料的物理性质有着深刻的影响。因此，即使化学组成相同（比如石墨烯和金刚石），我们也可以通过生成具有定对称性的晶体，来很大范围内调整它们的性。而当晶体的结构相可以通过外部刺激动态改变时，更多有意思的可能性出现在了我们面前。这样的材料性虽不常见，但却能引发很多喜人的现象，例如相变记忆效应。具体到三层石墨烯，它有两种常见的堆叠结构（ABA和ABC），二者都具有*的电子能带结构，并展现出了与众不同的性。而这两种堆叠结构的三层石墨烯里的畴壁，则展现出了新的迷人的物理效应，比如说量子谷霍尔效应。科研工作者在三层石墨烯的相工程上投入了大量的精力。不过，操纵畴壁以实现对材料局部结构和性的精准调控仍然是个难题。本文通过实验表明，通过激光照射可以实现结构相之间的转换，并在三层石墨烯中构建各种形状的畴壁。这种能够控制畴壁位置和方向的能力，使得我们能够更好地调整石墨烯的局部结构相和性，并为可定制原子结构，电子以及光学性的人造二维材料的生成提供了种简洁且有效的路径。

摘要：通过光子耦合激发和偶物质激发所产生的化子可以沿具有双曲线色散或椭圆色散的各向异性超表面传播。而在双曲线色散与椭圆色散之间的转换过程中（对应拓扑结构的转换），有各种有趣的现象被观测到，比如光子态密度的增强、化子的沟道效应和超透镜效应。在本文中，作者从理论角度和实验角度分别研究了这种拓扑结构的转换，单轴红外声子超表面中的化耦合和其强烈的非局域响应信号，以及六方氮化硼 (hBN) 纳米带的光栅。 通过超高分辨红外10纳米成像，研究者观察到了六方氮化硼中余辉带里合成的横向光学声子的共振（即纳米带强烈的集体性近场耦合），这触发了从双曲线色散向椭圆色散的拓扑转换。作者还表征并可视化了跃迁频率附近深亚波长通道模式的空间演化，该模式作为种准直化子为超透镜和无衍射传播打下了基础。

摘要：选择性地将二氧化碳(CO₂)还原为燃料和化学品是通过碳中和发展可持续性能源经济的重点所在。而其中CO₂的活化则是重中之重。考虑到电子迁移是这过程的决速步骤，通过调节CO₂还原催化剂的电子结构来增强其活性则显得更为关键。不过，人们对催化剂的电子性与活性的内在关系的理解还不是很深入，这也限制了高效CO₂还原催化剂的有理论支撑的设计。本文中，作者设计了种以铝作为电子供体的催化剂-缘体-金属系统，并以此来调节氧化钴(Co₃O₄)催化剂的电子结构。这样，铝中的电子便可以高效地通过种超薄且自主形成的Al₂O₃缘层穿入Co₃O₄。实验和理论结果毫无疑问确证了Co₃O₄的高电子密度有于CO₂的吸收和活化，并同时降低了COOH的生成能垒，尤其是CO*中间体的解吸能垒，这大大加速了CO₂到CO的光还原反应的动力学进程。相比Co₃O₄，Co₃O₄/Al₂O₃-Al中的Co的周转频率要高出很多。其表观量子产率在420纳米处能高达3.8%，这数字超越了大部分文献中对催化剂的记述。另外，Co₃O₄ 中电子密度的提高也有效地抑制了析氢竞相反应。同时对CO的筛选性也从Co₃O₄的57.9%提高到了Co₃O₄/Al₂O₃-Al的82.4%。值得注意的是，通过控制Al的含量和粒径我们还可以合理调节催化剂的催化效率。综上，该项研究建立了催化剂的电子结构与其对 CO₂ 还原反应的催化活性之间的联系。并且，作者提出的这种Al₂O₃-Al结构，还有潜力成为其他非均相催化剂电子效应研究的全新平台。

摘要：定的几何形貌与改进过的晶体性对微纳米尺度材料的开发来说是举足轻重的。不过，对于高熔点钼来说，想高质量地生成同时具有单晶性和预设形貌的结构是很困难的。在本文中，作者通过种热蒸发技术和与之对应的实验调控，生成了金字塔形的单晶结构钼。而之后细致的材料表征工作则表明其生长机理遵循的是个包括MoO₂分解、Mo 沉积、岛状单晶形成、层状成核和竞争性生长在内的连续性过程。此外，经测量还发现这种生成物有着非常秀的物理性能。比如通过机械性能的测量，发现纳米结构的钼展现出了远高于其块体材料的纳米压痕硬度、弹性模量和拉伸强度。而在电子性的测量中，这种材料的单体结构则展现出了非常秀的电传输性，其电导能达到约0.16 S。所制备的0.02平方厘米的膜材料展现出了大电流电子发射性，其大电流达到了33.6毫安，其电流密度则达到了1.68安每平方厘米。同时，通过光学性的测量，该团队发现这种结构展现了明显的电磁场定位和增强效应，这使其作为基底材料，非常适合应用于表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）。作者还进步讨论了对应的结构与响应信号之间的关系。文章中提到的，包括微纳米尺度，每个晶粒中所蕴含的单晶性，以及材料的金字塔尖形貌在内的，这些纳米结构钼的基础性，都对其物理性有着正面的影响。

摘要：由二维过渡金属二硫属化物制成的拓扑狄拉克半金属(TMDCs)，因其电子传输性，在电子和光电设备域的应用得到了广泛的关注。作为具有强层间相互作用的范德华材料，这种半金属被期望可以用于支持尚未被实验证明的层相关等离子体化激元的存在。在本研究中，作者用近场纳米成像展示了II型铂碲狄拉克半金属（PtTe­₂）纳米带和纳米薄片中的中红外等离子体波的延迟和衰减。从近场驻波图像中总结出的PtTe­₂纳米带（厚度为15到25纳米）的等离子体模式衰减色散关系被应用于MIR区的PtTe­₂介电常数拟合，其结果表明自由载流子和狄拉克费米子都参与了中红外光和物质的相互作用。而对超薄（小于10纳米）PtTe_­2等离子体模式的湮灭的观察和分析使作者发现是PtTe­₂与本征层相关的光电性导致了其无近场共振图像的现象。以上结果为应用TMDC进行MIR区的光电探测和调制铺展了道路。

摘要：性范德华晶体中的声子化子——种光与晶格振动的耦合——是有在纳米尺度上控制能量流动的有力候选者，因为它们有着很强的限制场、各向异性的传播方式和皮秒的超长寿命。不过，它们狭窄且只适用定材料的光谱响应范围——也就是剩余射线带——大地限制了其技术应用。在此，在α-V₂O₅范德华半导体中嵌入钠原子，能增宽其剩余射线带，并因此让受激声子化子展现出低的损耗率（寿命为4± 1皮秒），这个数值已经与其在非插层晶体（寿命为6± 1皮秒）中的表现相近。作者预计这种嵌入方法也能被应用于其他范德华晶体，从而提供种新的用声子化子增宽中红外区域频谱的方法。

摘要：近段时间，摩尔纹工程被视为控制凝聚态系统中量子现象的有效途径。在范德华异质结构中，莫尔纹可以通过相邻原子层之间的晶格错位形成，并因此产生长程电子有序的结构。到目前为止，摩尔工程只在堆叠范德华多层结构上有所应用。而在本文中，作者描述了种在LaAlO₃基底上外延生长的原型性磁阻氧化物薄膜La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃中产生的电子摩尔纹。通过扫描探针纳米成像，作者观察到了薄膜中应变调制的两种不同的非公度纹的共存和互相影响所产生的微观摩尔纹。其净效应表现为La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃的电子电导率和铁磁性直到细观尺度都会受周期性摩尔纹的调制。我该研究工作为在应力外延材料中获得定制的电子纹理的空间图样开辟了条潜在的道路。

摘要：全光调制器正越来越受瞩目，这主要是因为它高速度，低损耗，与高带宽的本征性，使其在未来的信息通讯技术中可以很好地为对应的电气元件做更新换代。但是，其较大的能量消耗与尺寸使得其光子间相互作用较弱，从而阻碍了其在非线性光学上的广泛应用。在本文中，作者通过在石墨烯中掺杂含有光生载流子的单层MoS₂生成了原子薄度石墨烯-MoS₂异质结构，形成了种高效全光中红外等离子体波导和自由空间调制器。44 cm^-1等离子的调制也通过LED得以呈现，其光强度可以低达0.15 mWcm^-1,这数值比通用的石墨烯非线性全光调制器要低4个数量（≈103 mWcm^-2）。异质结构中光生载流子的超高速迁移以及复合的速率使得石墨烯等离子体的超高速调制成为了可能。作者认为，基于范德华异质结构的带有芯片可集成性和深亚波长光场限制性的高效全光中红外等离子体调制器的开发或许向片上全光器件应用的实现迈出了重要的步。

摘要：范德华（vdW）材料因其所含有的各种化子，成为了新兴的纳米尺度光操纵用材料平台。凭借范德华材料的层状结构，这些化子在薄片当中呈双曲线色散和纳米体制御模式。另方面，它们在薄片边缘则呈面制御模式。然而令人意想不到的是，这些模式在以典型的线性波导结构为代表的带状材料上的导向正全·方位地亟待研究。作者就六方氮化硼带中双曲声子化子的传播方式的研究成果做了详细的报告。通过纳米红外成像，作者观测到了各种模式。尤其是展现出截止宽度的重要的体波导模式。并且有趣的是该截止宽度可以通过降低波导厚度来减小。除此之外，该团队还观察到了具有不同频率和波导宽度的面模式杂化以及演化。而重点是，作者发现对称杂化面模式并没有展现出任何截止宽度，这让任意窄带里的化子都呈线性波导。另外，研究者的实验数据也支持了相关的模拟结果，这为我们在未来的光子器件应用中担当重任的线性波导双曲化子的理解打下了坚实的基础。

摘要：二维（2D）材料与二氧化硅（SiO₂）/硅（Si）基底之间的界面，通常被看做是固固机械接触。这在微系统和纳米工程的结构设计与性能化时，常常会被别强调。不过，如何理解基于2D材料的系统的界面结构与动力学仍然是个悬而未决又无法绕过的问题。在本研究中，由于在常态降解时引入了羟基，层在界面内可流动的水被插入了降解黑鳞（BP）薄片与SiO₂/Si基底之间。因此，作者得到了个滑度*的降解BP/SiO₂界面。通过实验测定，其界面剪切应力（ISS）可低达0.029 ± 0.004 MPa，这数值已可与非公度刚性晶体接触比肩。通过分析核磁共振波谱仪和原位X射线光电子能谱仪进行的结果，该团队发现界面内的液态水的存在是剪切应力低的超高滑度BP/SiO₂界面的形成主因。这发现证明了降解BP和水分子之间存在着强烈的互相影响，并表明纳米BP膜在生物基润滑域有着广泛的应用潜力。

摘要：具有可调性的超材料吸收器在中红外吸收的应用域具有广阔的前景。虽然研究者们提出了各种控制吸收的方法，如何深入分析和呈现吸收机制的物理图像仍是值得期待且有意义的。在本文中，作者用近场光学显微镜展示了多谐振模式诱导下的带宽可调超材料吸收器的实验空间近场分布。该吸收器由双倍尺寸的单元结构与金属镜片构成，二者由Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST)薄垫片加以分割。为了获得清晰的物理图像，作者用由四个方形谐振器组成的混合单元结构，在 7.8 μm 和 8.3 μm 处产生两个吸收峰。当GST薄膜从非晶态转变为晶态时，共振的中心波长呈现红移趋势。而无论GST处于那种相态，我们都分别在其吸收频率下观察到了吸收器产生的近场振幅和相位的光学信号。综上，本研究为光学可调吸收的控制打下了科学理论的基础，并展现了其潜在的应用前景。

摘要：以纳米分辨率探测被膜材料覆盖的结构有着很高的重要性。在本研究中，作者用散射型扫描近场光学显微镜（s-SNOM）探索了影响面下材料对比度和结构可见度的因素。作者生成了种包含不同掩埋结构的多层结构参考样品，用来做s-SNOM成像。还研究了近场光学对比度对结构几何形状、尺寸和覆盖层厚度的影响。结果表明区分掩埋狭缝图样比具有相同临界尺寸的圆孔更容易。s-SNOM能够在100多纳米厚的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯层下感知材料之间的差异，其面下空间分辨率可以好过100纳米。

摘要：作者设计并生成了种由带中央纳米柱的纳米脊孔阵列(NRANC)构成的超表面光学调制器。研究者还细致地研究了，分布在纳米脊孔的每个纳米顶点和中央纳米圆柱外缘上的局域表面等离子体（LSPs），与在周期性超表面上生成的表面等离子体激元(SPPs)，这二者之间的耦合效应。这种锥形结构可用于入射能量的集中与局部光场的增强。而在其上的感应电偶子则可以调节反射或透射性。这种在NRANC 上形成的LSPs的耦合效应将增强表面感应电偶子，并进步调节NRANC的光学性。通过改变超表面的几何参数，可以调整LSPs模式的谐振频率，并观察到透射峰的平移，以及让增强因数达到1.4×103。另方面，LSPs和SPPs之间的耦合则会激发法诺共振。在可见光和红外范围内调整照射激光的入射角则能调节SPPs的激发，并因此引起相对较大的透射光谱变化。于是通过进行近场光学测量，可以观察到包括表面感应电荷信息在内的近场光学性，以及在45°入射的633纳米TM激光照射下的个小（x方向上，约96纳米）且亮的热点。综上，作者研究中构建的NRANC超表面突出了其在类似彩色滤光片、反射镜、表面增强拉曼等方面的潜在应用前景。
