Understanding the light induced hydrophilicity of metal-oxide thin films
Light-induced hydrophilicity of TiO2 and ZnO surfaces rely on the same physics and involve excitation of electron-hole pairs. Here, we propose and test a model for the photo wetting of TiO2 and ZnO thin films. The results suggest design rules for materials exhibiting photocatalytic wetting.
Two-way free-space optics-based interface between fibre and 5G communication employing polarisation-orthogonal modulation
5G communication provides a substantial increase in data transmission capacity. FSO-based interface between fibre and 5G communication integrates fiber optics, FSO and 5G communications. A two-way fibre-FSO-5G wireless communication with polarisation-orthogonal modulation is presented and reported.
