A method to generate a single sub-50-as pulse by employing a 5-fs laser pulse with intensity above the saturation intensity, was proposed. The neon target medium of 0.5 mm length and 5 Torr pressure, was placed 10 mm beyond the laser focus. Harmonic radiation from neon atoms, was obtained by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation coupled with Maxwell equations. The results show that the positive chirp contained in the broad continuum radiation can be compensated by an x-ray filter with a negative group delay dispersion in the spectral region of interest.

We utilize the dispersion property of an X-ray filter material for the generation of a single sub-50-as pulse from high-order harmonics. The attosecond pulse, formed by selecting the spectral range of high-order harmonic radiation, contains an intrinsic chirp corresponding to the quadratic phase variation during a half cycle of a laser pulse. We show that this chirp can be compensated by using the negative group-delay dispersion of a thin X-ray filter, compressing the attosecond pulse down to sub-50-as.

With the ever-growing demand for eco-friendly energy sources to mitigate the global rising temperatures, the universal insatiable need for sustainable and efficient energy sources are earnestly being intensively sought after. The ubiquitous heat within, if successfully tapped, is an utterly promising source of energy. To achieve this, a thermoelectric device (TED) is needed. To enhance the conversion efficiency from heat to useful electrical power, we developed a strategy to improve the thermoelectric performance of the materials involved. In this work, equimolar multication alloying (EMMCA) is proposed for the first time and employed to enhance the performance of SnTe-based thermoelectric materials. Beyond the cation’s solubility limit, in situ compositing is observed with an increasing doping ratio, whereby distinct CuInTe2 ternary second phases are dispersed within the SnTe matrix. The electronic properties of the ensuing alloy are significantly enhanced by the resulting carrier concentration modulation and the unique electronic band engineering. A decrease in the thermal transport properties is likewise reported, benefiting from enhanced phonon scattering and diminished electronic contribution. The mechanical properties are also shown to increase with increased alloying. As a result, single-leg TED performance shows substantial output power in comparison with the pristine sample. The outcomes stemming from EMMCA are documented as significantly impactful, contributing to superior overall thermoelectric performance. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
