Colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Colloidal precipitates

The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

The Dot Product01:26

The Dot Product

Measuring how one directional quantity affects another along a specific path involves comparing their orientation and strength. When two such quantities are represented using direction and amount, a numerical result is computed to show how much one acts along the path of the other. This result comes from a rule combining both inputs' horizontal and vertical parts and adding the results.This calculation gives a single value that grows larger when both inputs point in similar directions and...

    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Materials Science
    • Optical Communications

    Background:

    • Traditional optical fiber devices face limitations like high power needs and complexity.
    • Developing efficient light-controlled functional fiber elements is crucial for advanced optical communication systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel light-controlled optical fiber interferometer (FI) using colloidal quantum dots (CQDs).
    • To achieve all-optical control of the transmission spectrum with improved efficiency and lower power requirements.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a specially designed exposed-core microstructure fiber (ECMF).
    • Deposited two types of PbS CQDs (1180 nm and 1580 nm absorption) onto the ECMF.
    • Investigated the effect of control light wavelength and power on the FI transmission spectrum.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a satisfactory recovery property and a linear relationship between spectrum shift and control light power.
    • Demonstrated a highest wavelength shift sensitivity of 4.6 pm/mW, corresponding to an effective refractive index change of 5 × 10-6 /mW.
    • Established a theoretical model linking refractive index changes to photoexcitation dynamics and carrier concentration in CQDs.

    Conclusions:

    • CQDs offer a tunable absorption wavelength and high charge carrier concentration, enabling low-power (mW-level) refractive index modulation.
    • The developed CQD-based light-controllable fiber filter (LCFF) successfully managed chirp and dispersion in a 50-km fiber communication system, achieving error-free transmission.
    • CQDs' solution processability and conformal deposition capabilities provide a versatile platform for developing new light-controlled optical devices.
