摘要:
Forming a two-dimensional Janus layer includes forming a layer of MX2, where M is a transition metal and X is a first chalcogen, plasma etching the layer of MX2 to remove X from the top layer, thereby yielding an etched layer, and contacting the etched layer with a second chalcogen Y. The second chalcogen is different than the first chalcogen, resulting in a two-dimensional Janus layer including MXY.
摘要:
Octaaminonaphthalene and a method of synthesizing octaaminonaphthalene are described. A two-dimensional coordination polymer and a method of synthesizing the two-dimensional coordination polymer are described. The two-dimensional coordination polymer includes ligands including anchorage sites, and metal linkers, each metal linker including a metal and an organic moiety. Each metal linker is coupled to two ligands via the anchorage sites. Synthesizing the two-dimensional coordination polymer includes contacting a first liquid precursor with a second liquid precursor at an interface, reacting the metal linker and the water-soluble ligand to yield a two-dimensional coordination polymer at the interface, and removing the two-dimensional coordination polymer from the interface.

Synthesizing a metal-organic-framework includes combining a first solution and a second solution to yield a synthetic medium. The first solution typically includes a solvent, an inhibitor, a metal capping agent, a ligand, and a metal source, and the second solution typically includes a deprotonating agent and a buffer. The metal and the ligand are reacted in the synthetic medium to yield a two-dimensional metal-organic-framework in the form of a nanosheet, and the two-dimensional metal-organic-framework is removed from the synthetic medium. The two-dimensional metal-organic framework has an aspect ratio of at least 300 or at least 1000.

Forming a two-dimensional polymeric sheet includes translating a portion of a flexible substrate through a first liquid precursor to coat the portion of the flexible substrate with the first liquid precursor, thereby yielding a precursor-coated portion of the flexible substrate. The precursor-coated portion of the flexible substrate is translated through an interface between the first liquid precursor and a second liquid precursor, thereby reacting the first liquid precursor on the precursor-coated portion of the flexible substrate with the second liquid precursor to yield a polymer-coated portion of the flexible substrate.

摘要:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a formation member that defines a passageway configured to receive therein at least a portion of an optical fiber that includes a stripped portion to be recoated. The passageway defines at least in part a recoat cross-sectional width of the stripped portion of the optical fiber to be recoated. A nozzle is coupled to the formation member and configured to dispense a recoat material into the passageway when the nozzle is moved relative to the stripped portion of the optical fiber when the stripped portion of the optical fiber is disposed at least partially within the passageway such that the recoat material is dispensed on and surrounds the stripped portion of the optical fiber. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a controller that can control the flow rate of the recoat material dispensed by the nozzle.

摘要:
In some embodiments, an optical fiber assembly apparatus includes a signal fiber having a substantially constant outer diameter, a proximal portion, and a distal portion. The proximal portion has a waveguide structure configured to propagate an optical signal having a first mode field diameter and the distal portion has a waveguide structure configured to propagate the optical signal having the first mode field diameter at a proximal end of the distal portion and has an expanded waveguide structure configured to propagate the optical signal having a second mode field diameter at a distal end of the distal portion. The optical fiber assembly includes a lens fiber having a proximal end. The proximal end of the lens fiber is fused to the distal end of the distal portion of the signal fiber. The lens fiber is configured to propagate an optical signal through a nominally homogenous region.
