Materials for Nonlinear and Nonreciprocal Photonics

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Electronic Devices and Materials topics related to the symposium topic Materials for Nonlinear and Nonreciprocal Photonics from the 2020 MRS Spring Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Materials for Nonlinear and Nonreciprocal Photonics: Nonlinear absorption, refraction and scattering, aggregation-induced emission, spectroscopy of organic materials Fabrication and physics of optical cavities, metalenses. optofluidics, nonlinear gradient index optics, nonhermitian metamaterials Molecule-quantum dot interfaces, multiexcitonic processes in quantum dots Chromophore glasses with very long excited state lifetimes, room temperature phosphorescence, thermally assisted delayed fluorescence, enhancement of spontaneous emission Theoretical models of optical switches, waveguides, optical diodes, nonhermitian metamaterials, flat lenses and other device platforms Calculation of nonlinear susceptibility, vibrational relaxation and energy transfer New materials discovery and development of design principles by machine learning, beam propagation modeling Nonlinear material synthesis, quantum-dot-chromophore hybrids Chromophore guest-solid host systems, ormosils, sol-gel chemistry, hybrid materials including nanoparticle suspensions and dispersions Organic infrared responding polymers, chalcogenide glasses, perovskites Structured optical materials based on self-assembly or nanofabrication technology
