  • Michal Lipson Named 2021 John Tyndall Award Recipient
    Michal Lipson Named 2021 John Tyndall Award Recipient WASHINGTON – The Optical Society (OSA) and the IEEE Photonics Society have named Michal Lipson, Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Applied Physics at Columbia University, USA the 2021 John Tyndall Award recipient. Lipson, the first woman to receive the award since it was established in 1987, is recognized for “fundamental and technological advances in integrated photonic devices." “A trailblazer in the field, Michal Lipson’s groundbreaking research led to the development of the first gigahertz silicon modulators, demonstrating that silicon photonics could produce active devices,” said 2020 OSA President Stephen Fantone. “The Tyndall Award is a well- deserved testament to her visionary work in nanophotonics.” "Michal Lipson is a leader, a pioneer and a giant in the field of nanophotonics for her contributions to the physics and applications of light confining photonics structures”, added IEEE Photonics Society President Carmen Menoni. “The IEEE Photonics Society is delighted with her recognition by the Tyndall Award." The award, one of the top honors in the fiber optics community, is named for John Tyndall, a 19th century scientist who was the first to demonstrate the phenomenon of total internal reflection. It recognizes an individual who has made pioneering, highly significant, or continuing technical or leadership contributions to fiber optic technology. The Tyndall Award will be presented to Lipson at OFC 2021 (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition), the world’s leading conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals, 6 to 10 June 2021 in San Francisco, California, USA. Corning, Incorporated sponsors the award, which consists of a specially commissioned glass sculpture that represents the concept of total internal reflection, a scroll and an honorarium, and it is jointly presented by The Optical Society and the IEEE Photonics Society.

This work demonstrates an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion for direct solar-to-hydrogen (H2) production based on 2D layered PtSe2/ Si heterojunction photocathodes. By systematically controlling fi the number of atomic layers of wafer-scale 2D PtSe2 lms through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the interfacial band alignments at the 2D layered PtSe2/Si heterojunctions can be p- fi appropriately engineered. The 2D PtSe2/ Si heterojunction photocathode consisting of a PtSe2 thin lm with a thickness of 2.2 nm (or 3 atomic layers) exhibits the optimized band alignment and delivers the best PEC performance for hydrogen production with a photocurrent density of −32.4 mA cm−2 at 0 V and an onset potential of 1 mA cm−2 at 0.29 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) after post-treatment.

Reproducible fabrication of large-area highly crystalline films is, however, still a challenge. Here, we report the fabrication of epitaxially aligned PtSe2 films using one-zone selenization of pre-sputtered platinum layers. We have studied the influence of growth conditions on structural and electrical properties of the films prepared from Pt layers with different initial thickness. The best results were obtained for the PtSe2 layers grown at elevated temperatures (600 °C). The films exhibit signatures for a long- range in-plane ordering resembling an epitaxial growth. The charge carrier mobility determined by Hall-effect measurements is up to 24 cm2/V.s. 1.

In chapter one, a comprehensive review on defects in two dimensional materials will be presented. The aim of this review is to elaborate on different types of defects in two dimensional (2D) materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). First, different types of point and line defects, e.g. vacancies, anti-sites, guest elements, adatoms, vacancy clusters, grain boundaries, and edges, in these materials are categorized in terms of structure. Second, interactions among defects are discussed in terms of their rearrangement for low-energy configurations. Before studying the electronic and magnetic properties of defective 2D materials, some of the structures are considered in order to see how defect structure evolves to a stable defect configuration. Next, the influence of defects on electronic and magnetic properties of 2D materials is discussed. Finally, the dynamic behavior of defects and 2D structures under conditions such as electron beam irradiation, heat treatment, and ambient conditions, is discussed. Later as a case study, defects in a two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide will be presented.

    Defect-induced 4p-magnetism in layered platinum diselenide Priyanka Manchanda, Pankaj Kumar, and Pratibha Dev Department of Physics and Astronomy, Howard University, Washington, D.C. 20059, USA Platinum diselenide (PtSe2) is a recently-discovered extrinsic magnet, with its magnetism at- tributed to the presence of Pt-vacancies. The host material to these defects itself displays interest- ing structural and electronic properties, some of which stem from an unusually strong interaction between its layers. To date, it is not clear how the unique intrinsic properties of PtSe2 will affect its induced magnetism. In this theoretical work, we show that the defect-induced magnetism in PtSe2 thin films is highly sensitive to: (i) defect density, (ii) strain, (iii) layer-thickness, and (iv) substrate choice. These different factors dramatically modify all magnetic properties, including the magnitude of local moments, strength of the coupling, and even nature of the coupling between the moments. We further show that the strong inter-layer interactions are key to understanding these effects. A better understanding of the various influences on magnetism can enable controllable tuning of the magnetic properties in Pt-based dichalcogenides, which can be used to design novel devices for magnetoelectric and magneto-optic applications. I. INTRODUCTION ical works have proposed other strategies for inducing a magnetic moment in PtSe2 monolayers, such as: (i) com- bining strain with hole doping to induce magnetism21, The recent discovery of magnetism in two dimensional (ii) Se-vacancy in the simultaneous presence of strain22, 1{4 (2D) layered materials has sparked renewed interest (iii) hydrogenation on Se sites23, and (iv) doping with in one of the oldest and most well-studied emergent transition metal elements24.

  • Demonstration of Chip-Based Coupled Degenerate Optical Parametric Oscillators for Realizing a Nanophotonic Spin-Glass
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17919-6 OPEN Demonstration of chip-based coupled degenerate optical parametric oscillators for realizing a nanophotonic spin-glass Yoshitomo Okawachi 1,4, Mengjie Yu1,2,4, Jae K. Jang1, Xingchen Ji 3, Yun Zhao3, Bok Young Kim 1, ✉ Michal Lipson 1,3 & Alexander L. Gaeta 1,3 1234567890():,; The need for solving optimization problems is prevalent in various physical applications, including neuroscience, network design, biological systems, socio-economics, and chemical reactions. Many of these are classified as non-deterministic polynomial-time hard and thus become intractable to solve as the system scales to a large number of elements. Recent research advances in photonics have sparked interest in using a network of coupled degenerate optical parametric oscillators (DOPOs) to effectively find the ground state of the Ising Hamiltonian, which can be used to solve other combinatorial optimization problems through polynomial-time mapping. Here, using the nanophotonic silicon-nitride platform, we demonstrate a spatial-multiplexed DOPO system using continuous-wave pumping. We experimentally demonstrate the generation and coupling of two microresonator-based DOPOs on a single chip. Through a reconfigurable phase link, we achieve both in-phase and out-of-phase operation, which can be deterministically achieved at a fast regeneration speed of 400 kHz with a large phase tolerance. 1 Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA. 2 School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA. 3 Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA. 4These ✉ authors contributed equally: Yoshitomo Okawachi and Mengjie Yu.
