The Phosphorus Cycle

The Phosphorus Cycle

Unlike carbon, water, and nitrogen, phosphorus is not present in the atmosphere as a gas. Instead, most phosphorus in the ecosystem exists as compounds, such as phosphate ions (PO43-), found in soil, water, sediment and rocks. Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient (i.e., in short supply). Consequently, phosphorus is added to most agricultural fertilizers, which can cause environmental problems related to runoff in aquatic ecosystems.

Detection of Black Holes

Detection of Black Holes

Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Chirality at Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur

Chirality at Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur

Chirality is most prevalent in carbon-based tetrahedral compounds, but this important facet of molecular symmetry extends to sp3-hybridized nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur centers, including trivalent molecules with lone pairs. Here, the lone pair behaves as a functional group in addition to the other three substituents to form an analogous tetrahedral center that can be chiral.
A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...

Structures of Solids

Structures of Solids

Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Structural Isomerism

Structural Isomerism

Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Structure of Lipids

Structure of Lipids

Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic...

Area of Science:

Condensed Matter Physics
Materials Science
Nanophotonics

Background:

Two-dimensional materials can support deep-subwavelength plasmonic modes.
These modes can lead to significant magneto-optical responses.
Monolayer black phosphorus (BP) is a 2D material with intrinsic anisotropy.

Purpose of the Study:

To theoretically investigate magnetoplasmons (MPs) in monolayer black phosphorus (BP) structures.
To explore the magneto-optical responses in different BP configurations (continuous, edge, wedge).
To understand the tunability and anisotropy of these MPs under static magnetic fields.

Main Methods:

Derivation of MP dispersion relations from magneto-optical conductivity.
Utilizing analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical methods.
Characterization of MP dispersions and field distributions.

Main Results:

BP structures exhibit strongly anisotropic magneto-optical responses.
Anisotropy is induced by both external magnetic fields and intrinsic BP lattice properties.
Subwavelength MP modes are sustained and highly tunable in the studied configurations.

Conclusions:

Monolayer BP supports anisotropic magnetoplasmons with tunable properties.
The combination of lattice and magnetic anisotropy enables tailored nanoscale devices.
These findings pave the way for novel nanophotonic devices operating below the diffraction limit.
