Laser-Induced Point Defects in Fused Silica Irradiated by UV Laser in Vacuum by Xiaoyan Zhou, Xinda Zhou, Jin Huang, Qiang Cheng, Fengrui Wang, Xin Ye, Xiaodong Jiang, Weidong Wu

“…Laser-induced defects are investigated by UV spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectra and correlated to the structural modifications in the glass matrix through Raman spectroscopy. Results show that, for laser fluence below laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), the absorbance and intensity of fluorescence bands increase with laser energies and/or number of laser pulses, which indicates that laser-induced defects are enhanced by laser energies and/or number of laser pulses in vacuum. …”

Raman and Photoluminescence Studies of Quasiparticles in van der Waals Materials by Mansour M. AL-Makeen, Mario H. Biack, Xiao Guo, Haipeng Xie, Han Huang

“…Here, we review our past years’ findings, focusing on many-body interactions in 2D layered materials, including phonon anharmonicity, electron–phonon coupling (<i>e-ph</i>), exciton dynamics, and phonon anisotropy based on temperature (polarization)-dependent Raman spectroscopy and Photoluminescence (PL). Our review sheds light on the role of quasi-particles in tuning the material properties, which could help optimize 2D materials for future applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices.…”
