Un'autoetnografia per immagini
2020
Lo studio propone una riflessione geografica sulla fotografia (sui suoi usi e sui suoi sviluppi) in relazione a varie forme di spazialità. Attraverso l'analisi di alcune immagini sul Social Network Instagram viene presentata un'etnografia di tipo riflessivo utile a definire e discutere alcuni aspetti espistemologici della disciplina geografica, quali la metodologia da utilizzare, il posizionamento del ricercatore sul campo e i suoi oggetti di conoscenza e d'indagine scientifica. The study proposes a geographical reflection on photography (on its uses and its developments) in relation to various forms of spatiality.

White Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Based on the Langmuir–Blodgett Technique
2014
Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) showing a white emission have been prepared with Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the metallosurfactant bis[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine][2-(1-hexadecyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine]iridium(III) chloride (1), which work with an air-stable Al electrode. They were prepared by depositing a LB film of 1 on top of a layer of poly(N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(4-hexylphenyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (pTPD) spin-coated on indium tin oxide (ITO). The white color of the electroluminescence of the device contrasts with the blue color of the photoluminescence of 1 in solution and within the LB films. Furthermore, the crystal structure of 1 is reported togeth…
Oligofluorene with multiple spiro-connections: its and their use in blue and white OLEDs
2019
Bond rotation within molecules is regarded as one of the nonradiative decay pathways and is detrimental to high photoluminescence quantum yields. In this work, a bulky and rigid blue emitter (Spiro-F) with five spiro-carbon linkages is synthesized. Spiro-F can serve not only as an active component of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), but also as a host and blue emitter of white OLEDs. The WOLED offers a low turn-on voltage of 3.5 V and a high current efficiency of 3.6 cd A−1, together with CIE coordinates of (0.29, 0.33). This work proves the potential of super-rigid oligofluorene emitters for OLEDs.
Extended liquid-crystalline oligofluorenes with photo- and electroluminescence
2010
In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of low-molecular weight light-emitting molecules based on short oligofluorene cores, from one to three 9,9-dioctylfluorene units, elongated at the 2- and 7-positions by means of promesogenic units. The effect of this structural modification on the mesomorphic properties, as well as on the optical and electrochemical properties, is studied. The possibility of using these molecules as emitters in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and polarized photoluminescent layers has been explored.
Near-Quantitative Internal Quantum Efficiency in a Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cell
2008
A green-light-emitting iridium(III) complex was prepared that has a photoluminescence quantum yield in a thin-film configuration of almost unity. When used in a simple solid-state single-layer light-emitting electrochemical cell, it yielded an external quantum efficiency of nearly 15% and a power efficiency of 38 Lm/W. We argue that these high external efficiencies are only possible if near-quantitative internal electron-to-photon conversion occurs. This shows that the limiting factor for the efficiency of these devices is the photoluminescence quantum yield in a solid film configuration. The observed efficiencies show the prospect of these simple electroluminescent devices for lighting and…
Luminescence of dense, octahedral structured crystalline silicon dioxide (stishovite)
2011
Abstract It is obtained that, as grown, non-irradiated stishovite single crystals possess a luminescence center. Three excimer pulsed lasers (KrF, 248 nm; ArF, 193 nm; F 2 , 157 nm) were used for photoluminescence (PL) excitation. Two PL bands were observed. One, in UV range with the maximum at 4.7±0.1 eV with FWHM equal to 0.95±0.1 eV, mainly is seen under ArF laser. Another, in blue range with the maximum at 3±0.2 eV with FWHM equal to 0.8±0.2 eV, is seen under all three lasers. The UV band main fast component of decay is with time constant τ =1.2±0.1 ns for the range of temperatures 16–150 K. The blue band decay possesses fast and slow components. The fast component of the blue band deca…
Efficient electroluminescence from a perylenediimide fluorophore obtained from a simple solution processed OLED
2009
Simple solution processed organic light emitting diodes are used to screen the performance of two types of highly efficient, narrow band red emitting fluorescent perylenediimides (PDIs). PDIs substituted at the diimide positions seem to form aggregates in the thin film architecture as evidenced by the shifted electroluminescent spectrum. When substituted on the bay position and when used both as the emitting and the electron transporting specie, bright electroluminescence with a narrow width around 610 nm reaching 500 cd m−2 at moderate voltages was observed, demonstrating the usefulness of these fluorophores for OLED applications.
Optical transitions and excitonic recombination in InAs/InP self-assembled quantum wires
2001
InAs self-assembled quantum wire structures have been grown on InP substrates and studied by means of photoluminescence and polarized-light absorption measurements. According to our calculations, the observed optical transitions in each sample are consistent with wires of different heights, namely from 6 to 13 monolayers. The nonradiative mechanism limiting the emission intensity at room temperature is related to thermal escape of carriers out of the wires.
Luminescence Efficiency of Si/SiO 2 Nanoparticles Produced by Laser Ablation
2019
Photoluminescence properties of Si(core)/SiO 2 (shell) nanoparticles produced by pulsed laser ablation in aqueous solution are investigated with the purpose to highlight the microscopic processes that govern the emission brightness and stability. Time resolved spectra evidence that these systems emit a µs decaying band centered around 1.95 eV, that is associated with the radiative recombination of quantum-confined excitons generated in the Si nanocrystalline core. Both the quantum efficiency and the stability of this emission are strongly dependent on the pH level of the solution, that is changed after the laser ablation is performed. They enhance in acid environment because of the H + pass…
Optical properties of thin films of ZnO prepared by pulsed laser deposition
2004
In this paper we report on the structural features and optical properties of wurtzite ZnO films epitaxially grown on sapphire, fluorite and mica substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Post-deposition annealing results in a clear improvement of the film quality, reflected by the small width of the exciton-related lines in both the absorption and the photoluminescence spectra. Photoluminescence spectra revealed a multi-line structure which is identified in term of free excitons and excitons complexes with neutral donors and deep centers. The relative intensity of the PL lines mainly depends on the nature of the substrate used. Concerning optoelectronic applications it is especi…
