| 1 | Nanostructured fibers as a versatile photonic platform: radiative cooling and waveguiding through transverse Anderson localization显示文摘Broadband high reflectance in nature is often the result of randomly,three-dimensionally structured materials.This study explores unique optical properties associated with one-dimensional nanostructures discovered in silk cocoon fibers of the comet moth,Argema mittrei.The fibers are populated with a high density of air voids randomly distributed across the fiber cross-section but are invariant along the fiber.These filamentary air voids strongly scatter light in the solar spectrum.A single silk fiber measuring~50μm thick can reflect 66%of incoming solar radiation,and this,together with the fibers’high emissivity of 0.88 in the mid-infrared range,allows the cocoon to act as an efficient radiative-cooling device.Drawing inspiration from these natural radiative-cooling fibers,biomimetic nanostructured fibers based on both regenerated silk fibroin and polyvinylidene difluoride are fabricated through wet spinning.Optical characterization shows that these fibers exhibit exceptional optical properties for radiative-cooling applications:nanostructured regenerated silk fibers provide a solar reflectivity of 0.73 and a thermal emissivity of 0.90,and nanostructured polyvinylidene difluoride fibers provide a solar reflectivity of 0.93 and a thermal emissivity of 0.91.The filamentary air voids lead to highly directional scattering,giving the fibers a highly reflective sheen,but more interestingly,they enable guided optical modes to propagate along the fibers through transverse Anderson localization.This discovery opens up the possibility of using wild silkmoth fibers as a biocompatible and bioresorbable material for optical signal and image transport. | Norman Nan Shi Cheng-Chia Tsai Michael J.Carter Jyotirmoy Mandal Adam C.Overvig Matthew Y.Sfeir Ming Lu Catherine L.Craig Gary D.Bernard Yuan Yang Nanfang Yu | 2018 | Light(Science & Applications)2018，7，1： | 5 |
| 2 | Innovative architectures in ferroelectric multi-materials:Chemistry,interfaces and strain显示文摘Breakthroughs can be expected in multi-component ceramics by adjusting the phase assembly and the micro–nanostructure.Controlling the architecture of multi-materials at different scales is still challenging and provides a great opportunity to broaden the range of functionalities in the field of ferroelectric-based ceramics.We used the potentialities of Spark Plasma Sintering(SPS)to control a number of key parameters regarding the properties:anisotropy,interfaces,grain size and strain effects.The flexibility of the wet and supercritical chemistry routes associated with the versatility of SPS allowed designing newferroelectric composite ceramics at different scales.These approaches are illustrated through various examples based on our work on ferroelectric/dielectric composites. | C.Elissalde U.-C.Chung G.Philippot J.Lesseur R.Berthelot D.Sallagoity M.Albino R.Epherre G.Chevallier S.Buffière A.Weibel D.Bernard J.Majime C.Aymonier S.Mornet C.Estournès M.Maglione | 2015 | Journal of Advanced Dielectrics2015，5，2： | 0 |
