Hybrid Zones02:29

Hybrid Zones

21.9K
Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

67.3K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

3.3K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Modified Boxplots

11.0K
A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

In-situ Hybridization02:31

In-situ Hybridization

10.6K
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...

Area of Science:

  • Plasmonics
  • Materials Science
  • Nanophotonics

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) offer unique light-matter interaction possibilities.
  • Hybrid waveguides combining dielectric and metallic components enable novel functionalities.
  • Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a promising 2D material for optoelectronic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the tunable propagation properties of MoS2-supported hybrid surface plasmon waveguides.
  • Analyze the influence of structural parameters, dielectric fiber shape, and MoS2 carrier concentration.
  • Provide insights for designing advanced plasmonic devices.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the finite element method (FEM) for numerical simulations.
  • Modeled dielectric fiber-gap-metal substrate structures.
  • Varied dielectric fiber radius, elliptical parameter, and MoS2 carrier concentration.

Main Results:

  • Increased dielectric fiber radius enhances mode confinement but also causes peak losses.
  • Dielectric fiber shape significantly impacts propagation properties; optimal parameters improve confinement and figure of merit while reducing dissipation.
  • Increasing MoS2 carrier concentration leads to >40% modulation depth in absorption and double peaks in propagation constants due to excitonic absorption.

Conclusions:

  • Structural and material parameters offer effective tunability of hybrid surface plasmon waveguides.
  • MoS2 integration enables significant optical modulation and absorption characteristics.
  • Findings are crucial for the development of novel plasmonic devices like absorbers, modulators, lasers, and resonators.
