Abstract: A system and method for fabricating perovskite films for solar cell applications are provided, the system including a housing for use as a vacuum chamber, a substrate stage coupled to the top section of the housing; a first evaporator unit coupled to the bottom section of the housing and configured to generate BX2 (metal halide material) vapor; a second evaporator unit coupled to the housing and configured to generate AX (organic material) vapor; and a flow control unit coupled to the housing for controlling circulation of the AX vapor. The dimensions of the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the first evaporator unit, the dimensions of the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the substrate stage, and the relative position in the horizontal direction between the two horizontal cross-sectional shapes are configured to maximize the overlap between the two horizontal cross-sectional shapes.

Abstract: Photostimulated luminescence, which allows energy or data to be stored and released using electromagnetic waves as both the input and output, has attracted considerable interest in the fields of biomedical and informatics technologies, but this phenomenon is mostly limited to solid inorganic materials. Here, we report photostimulated luminescence from purely organic blend films composed of electron donor, acceptor, and trap/emitter molecules. In the films, charges are accumulated as radical ions by ultraviolet light irradiation and then extracted by near infrared light irradiation to produce visible light. Films are capable of multiple cycles (>10 times) of organic photostimulated luminescence, which was still observable from films left in the dark at room temperature for one week after excitation, and emission color could be varied by changing the trap/emitter molecules. These findings will broadly impact existing applications and provide new prospects for innovative flexible devices.

Abstract: A method for making a plasmonic mushroom array includes: forming a plurality of metal nano-islands each having nanometer-range dimensions on a surface of a glass substrate; and subjecting to the glass substrate having the plurality of metal nano-islands formed thereon to reactive ion etching such that the plurality of metal nano-islands are converted to a plurality of mushroom-shaped structures each having a metal cap supported by a pillar made of a material of the glass substrate and each having dimensions smaller than the dimensions of the nano-islands, the plurality of mushroom-shaped structures being arranged in a substantially regular pattern with intervals smaller than average intervals between the nano-islands, thereby forming the plurality of nano-scale mushroom-shaped structures on the glass substrate that can exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance.

Abstract: A system and method for redistributing photoexcited electrons and generate local currents within an optical spot on ultrafast timescales achieving in high-speed, high-resolution control of opto-electronic phenomena is disclosed. Selectively addressing sub-populations of photoexcited electrons within the distribution is necessary. By exploiting the spatial intensity variations in an ultrafast light pulse, local surface fields are generated within the photoexcitation spot of a doped semiconductor, which pull apart the photoexcited electrons into two separate distributions. This redistribution process can be controlled via the spatial profile and intensity of the photoexciting pulse.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to achieve rapid surface patterning of biomolecules within microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. In this work, we present a new means of creating micro- and nano-patterns of aminosilanes within microfluidic devices via an aqueous based microcontact printing technique. To minimize the diffusion of molecules into the PDMS stamp, we use water as the inking solvent and enforce short incubation and contact times during the printing process to preserve the pre-defined resolution of patterned features. These patterns then serve as the building block to couple multiple biomolecules in solution onto a single surface for subsequent bioassays.

Abstract: A method of inverse reinforcement learning for estimating reward and value functions of behaviors of a subject includes: acquiring data representing changes in state variables that define the behaviors of the subject; applying a modified Bellman equation given by Eq. (1) to the acquired data: r ( x ) + γ V ( y ) - V ( x ) = ln π ( y | x ) b ( y | x ) , ( 1 ) = ln π ( x , y ) b ( x , y ) - ln π ( x ) b ( x ) , ( 2 ) where r(x) and V(x) denote a reward function and a value function, respectively, at state x, and γ represents a discount factor, and b(y|x) and π(y|x) denote state transition probabilities before and after learning, respectively; estimating a logarithm of the density ratio π(x)/b(x) in Eq. (2); estimating r(x) and V(x) in Eq. (2) from the result of estimating a log of the density ratio π(x,y)/b(x,y); and outputting the estimated r(x) and V(x).

Abstract: A tunable, all-optical, coupling method for a high-Q silica microsphere and an optical waveguide is disclosed. By means of a novel optical nanopositioning method, induced thermal expansion of an asymmetric microsphere stem for laser powers up to 211 mW is observed and used to fine tune the microsphere-waveguide coupling. Microcavity displacements ranging from (0.61±0.13)-(3.49±0.13) μm and nanometer scale sensitivities varying from (2.81±0.08)-(17.08±0.76) nm/mW are obtained. Additionally, an apparent linear dependency of coupling distance on stem laser heating is achieved. Using these methods, coupling can be altered such that the differing and customizable coupling regimes can be achieved.
