Advances in solution-processed near-infrared light-emitting diodes
2021
A summary of recent advances in the near-infrared light-emitting diodes that are fabricated by solution-processed means, with coverage of devices based on organic semiconductors, halide perovskites and colloidal quantum dots.
Spectral and kinetic characteristics of pyroelectric luminescence in LiGaO2
2019
Abstract Pyroelectric luminescence was observed in noncentrosymmetrical crystal LiGaO2 with the direct band gap around 6 eV. For the first time spectral and kinetic characteristics of pyroelectric luminescence were obtained. The temporal structure of the PEL signal was determined as a sequence of pulses with duration not longer than several nanoseconds. This allowed proposing of the luminescence mechanism: in vacuum conditions in LiGaO2 crystal pyroelectric luminescence occurs inside the sample due to radiative recombination of electrons with the positively charged intrinsic luminescence centres.

Comprehensive defect suppression in perovskite nanocrystals for high-efficiency light-emitting diodes
2021
Electroluminescence efficiencies of metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are limited by a lack of material strategies that can both suppress the formation of defects and enhance the charge carrier confinement. Here we report a one-dopant alloying strategy that generates smaller, monodisperse colloidal particles (confining electrons and holes, and boosting radiative recombination) with fewer surface defects (reducing non-radiative recombination). Doping of guanidinium into formamidinium lead bromide PNCs yields limited bulk solubility while creating an entropy-stabilized phase in the PNCs and leading to smaller PNCs with more carrier confinement. The extra guanidinium segregates to th…
Photonic effect study on polystyrene 3D-photonic crystals at near-field range: dependence on the wavelength and on the lattice parameter
2007
3D-photonic crystals (opals) based on polystyrene (PS) colloidal nanospheres are being characterized by scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). These crystals offer a huge potential for controlling both the spontaneous emission of embedded light sources and the propagation of light itself.
Numerical analysis of light soaking phenomenon in Ruthenium based Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
2017
Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) are widely considered one of the most promising third generation photovoltaic devices, especially thanks to their relatively low cost if compared to conventional solar cells. An interesting phenomenon affecting such devices is the so-called light soaking effect, consisting in the increase of cell main electrical parameters after the exposition to solar light. In this work, starting from the experimental characterization carried out on Ruthenium-based DSSCs, we report on a series of numerical analysis performed to better describe the above-mentioned light soaking effect in order to show the relationship between such phenomenon and the main physical paramete…
Integration of solution processed materials in polymer waveguides
2015
Active solution processed nanomaterials have emerged as a very high promising candidates for photonic applications. The reason of this arises from the facts that they exhibit high quantum yield emission at room temperature and wavelength tunability, other than their processing involves easy and cheap fabrication techniques and a versatile integration on different substrates. In this way, active properties of different solution processed materials, as colloidal quantum dots, organic dyes and rare earth nanoparticles, have been exploited to demonstrate spontaneous emission or optical modulation in photonic devices. However, in spite of such an attractiveness of these nanomaterials, little has…
Magnetic resonance investigations of oxygen-related luminescence centres in AlN ceramics
2001
Abstract The structure of oxygen-related luminescence centres in nominally undoped and Y2O3-doped AIN ceramics were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and optically-detected EPR. The photoluminescence-detected EPR lines having g values of 1.990 and 2.008 were attributed to neighbouring donor and acceptor pairs causing the recombination luminescence excited in the ultraviolet. The two EPR lines at g = 1.987 and g = 2.003, detected via the recombination luminescence in the afterglow, are thought to be due to a recombination between the same, but more distant donor and acceptor pairs. The donor is supposed to be an electron trapped …
Improved EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations of JET ITER-like wall L-mode discharges utilising poloidal VUV/visible spectral emission profiles
2015
A discrepancy in the divertor radiated powers between EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations, both with and without drifts, and JET-ILW experiments employing a set of NBI-heated L-mode discharges with step-wise density variation is investigated. Results from a VUV/visible poloidally scanning spectrometer are used together with bolometric measurements to determine the radiated power and its composition. The analysis shows the importance of D line radiation in contributing to the divertor radiated power, while contributions from D radiative recombination are smaller than expected. Simulations with W divertor plates underestimate the Be content in the divertor, since no allowance is made for Be previously …
Coherent control of stimulated emission inside one-dimensional Photonic Crystals
2005
In this paper, the quasinormal mode (QNM) theory is applied to discuss the quantum problem of an atom embedded inside a one-dimensional (1D) photonic band gap (PBG) cavity pumped by two counterpropagating laser beams. The e.m. field is quantized in terms of the QNMs in the 1D PBG and the atom modeled as a two-level system is assumed to be weakly coupled to just one of the QNMs. The main result of the paper is that the decay time depends on the position of the dipole inside the cavity, and can be controlled by the phase difference of the two laser beams. © 2005 The American Physical Society
