“…Which are much smaller than those of Nb 4 C 3 (8.44 ± 0.08 cm GW –1 and 2.13 ± 0.02 × 10 –43 cm 4 s). As a promising OL material, V has TPA coefficients and σTPA values under the same excitation conditions (532 nm, 230 ps) of 1.80 ± 0.04 cm GW –1 and 1.90 ± 0.04 × 10 –45 cm 4 s, which are much smaller than those of Nb 4 C 3 too. Both Ti 3 AlC 2 and Ti 3 C 2 are excellent UV-OL materials, and when the excitation wavelength is 355 nm and the pulse width of the laser is 17 ps, the TPA coefficients are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 0.54 ± 0.04 cm GW –1 , and the values of σ TPA are 9.59 ± 0.18 × 10 –45 and 8.41 ± 0.06 × 10 –45 cm 4 s, respectively .…”

As fast-emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials, MXenes have attracted great attention in the fields of optics and electricity. In this paper, the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the 2D MXene material (Nb 4 C 3 ) and its MAX predecessor (Nb 4 AlC 3 ) are presented. Also, the broadband NLO responses of Nb 4 AlC 3 and Nb 4 C 3 nanosheets had been investigated using the open aperture (OA) Z-scan technique. The results showed that 2D Nb 4 AlC 3 exhibited significant two-photon absorption (TPA) properties in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) band. Different from Nb 4 AlC 3 , its etching residue, Nb 4 C 3 , exhibited totally opposite NLO behavior, which showed superior TPA properties in the ultraviolet (UV) band. This implied that the optical limiting (OL) properties of these two materials were exactly opposite. In the future, 2D Nb 4 AlC 3 and Nb 4 C 3 will be expected to be used as OL materials in the UV and SWIR bands, respectively, for such applications as laser protection, human eye protection, making optical filters, etc. Our work expanded a great potential application of 2D MXenes materials in the broadband nonlinear optical photonics.

“…Comparison reveals that the NLA properties of both Ta 4 AlC 3 and Ta 4 C 3 are superior to GDY from the UV to IR region. 2D vanadium (V), 44 which is shown to have great NLA properties in the UV region, has similar values of β and I s at the three excitation wavelengths for Ta 4 C 3 . However, its values of β are 0.68 ± 0.07 (1064 nm), 1.80 ± 0.04 (355 nm), and 2.41 ± 0.03 (532 nm) cm GW −1 , which are lower than those of Ta 4 AlC 3 , and the corresponding values of I s are 3.68 ± 0.27, 0.80 ± 0.04, and 0.71 ± 0.03 GW cm −2 , which are larger than those of Ta 4 AlC 3 .…”

Low‐dimensional nanometals have significant applications in sensors, catalysis, data storage and batteries, attributed to their unique mechanical, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. Exploring and tailoring the properties of low‐dimensional nanometals have become a research field in nanoscience and technology. In addition to changing the characteristics of low‐dimensional nanometallics, such as size, shape and composition, designing and refining their structures to explore and optimize the properties of low‐dimensional nanometallics are also a top scientific priority. This review examines advancements in the unique structure, behavior, and properties of low‐dimensional nanometallics fabricated via electron beam etching. Innovative structures such as hexa‐coordinate monolayer Au membranes and simple hexagonal gold have been fabricated in low‐dimensional nanogold. These structures demonstrate phase transitions to heptagonal clusters, nano‐spiral tubes and other unique behaviors. Further, they exhibit distinctive physical properties, including magnetic and conductivity. Also, changes in nanometals' interfacial structural features induce size effects and unique mechanical and catalytic properties. Such design and fabrication of low‐dimensional nanometallics with novel structures and properties show great promise for their application to electronic devices, chips, and batteries.
