Photo‐inactivation of bacteria in hospital effluent via thiolated iron‐doped nanoceria by Sara Khan, Sulaiman Faisal, Dilawar Farhan Shams, Maryam Zia, Akhtar Nadhman

“…These particles were designed to inhibit the efflux pumps of the bacteria found in hospital effluent with further ability to activate in visible light via iron doping thus generating tunable amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The quantum yield of the ROS generated by the nanoceria was 0.67 while the ROS types produced were singlet oxygen (36%), hydroxyl radical (31%) and hydroxyl ions (32%), respectively. …”

Photon antibunching in single-molecule vibrational sum-frequency generation by Moradi Kalarde Fatemeh, Ciccarello Francesco, Sánchez Muñoz Carlos, Feist Johannes, Galland Christophe

“…On the one hand, we delineate the regime in which the device should operate in order to preserve the second-order coherence of the mid-infrared source, as required in quantum applications. On the other hand, we show that an anharmonic molecular potential can lead to antibunching of the upconverted photons under coherent, Poisson-distributed mid-infrared and visible drives. …”
