Combined photoluminescence and impedance spectroscopy studies show that a europium-based metal–organic framework behaves as a highly effective and reliable humidity sensor, enabling dual-mode humidity detection.
AbstractWe implement slow-light under electromagnetically induced transparency condition to measure the motion of cold atoms in an optical lattice undergoing Bloch oscillation. The motion of atoms is mapped out through the phase shift of light without perturbing the external and internal state of the atoms. Our results can be used to construct a continuous motional sensor of cold atoms.
