  • All-optical reconfiguration of single silicon-vacancy centers in diamond for non-volatile memories

    All-optical reconfiguration of single silicon-vacancy centers in diamond for non-volatile memories

    The electronic level structure of SiV centers is illustrated in the inset of Fig. 1a. Influenced by spin-orbit coupling and the Jahn-Teller effect, the optical excited and GS are split into two unique two-fold branches with frequency splittings…

  • Gated CO2 permeation across dynamic graphene pores

    Gated CO2 permeation across dynamic graphene pores

    Carbon capture from flue gas emission requires the separation of CO2 from N2 and O2. CO2/O2 separation is more challenging than CO2/N2. O2 permeates faster than N2 because of its smaller kinetic diameter (3.30, 3.46, and 3.64 Å for CO2, O2,…
