Third-order nonlinear wavelength conversion in chalcogenide glass waveguides towards mid-infrared photonics

The increasing demand in spectroscopy and sensing calls for infrared(mid-IR)light sources.Here,we theoretically investigate nonlinear wavelength conversion of Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)chalcogenide glass waveguide in the mid-IR spectral regime.With waveguide dispersion engineering,we predict generation of over an octave wavelength(2.8μm-5.9μm)tuning range Raman soliton self-frequency shift,over 2.5 octaves wavelength cover range supercontinuum(1.2μm-8.0μm),as well as single soliton Kerr comb generated in suspended Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)waveguide.Our findings evidenced that Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)chalcogenide glass waveguides can simultaneously satisfy the generation of Raman soliton self-frequency shift,supercontinuum spectrum,and Kerr frequency comb generation through dispersion engineering towards mid-IR on chip.

Research on the Path of Improving the Efficiency of Urban Community Governance from the Perspective of Collaborative Governance:A Case Study of Daqing City,China

Under the background of“co-construction,co-governance,and sharing,”the role of the grassroots level is becoming increasingly important.In the past,the governance body was single with blocked information,and the inefficient governance mode required gradual transformation.In order to achieve collaborative governance and break through the obstacles in grassroots governance,the key lies in how to play the role of the community,coordinate the relationship between citizens and the community,and allow the community to better play the role of grassroots governance.Under the guidance of the concept of collaborative governance and combined with relevant data,this paper discusses the problems and current situation of community governance in Daqing City,China,explores the path to improve the efficiency of urban community governance,and puts forward relevant constructive suggestions to better realize the role of community in grassroots governance.

Atomic and electronic basis for the serrations of refractory high-entropy alloys

Refractory high-entropy alloys present attractive mechanical properties,i.e.,high yield strength and fracture toughness,making them potential candidates for structural applications.Understandings of atomic and electronic interactions are important to reveal the origins for the formation of high-entropy alloys and their structure−dominated mechanical properties,thus enabling the development of a predictive approach for rapidly designing advanced materials.Here,we report the atomic and electronic basis for the valence−electron-concentration-categorized principles and the observed serration behavior in high-entropy alloys and highentropy metallic glass,including MoNbTaW,MoNbVW,MoTaVW,HfNbTiZr,and Vitreloy-1 MG(Zr_(41)Ti_(14)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5)).We find that the yield strengths of high-entropy alloys and high-entropy metallic glass are a power-law function of the electron-work function,which is dominated by local atomic arrangements.Further,a reliance on the bonding-charge density provides a groundbreaking insight into the nature of loosely bonded spots in materials.The presence of strongly bonded clusters and weakly bonded glue atoms imply a serrated deformation of high-entropy alloys,resulting in intermittent avalanches of defects movement.
