We prepared four types of Eu2O3- and P2O5-doped Ca2SiO4 phosphors with different phase compositions but identical chemical composition, the chemical formula of which was (Ca1.950Eu3+0.013☐0.037)(Si0.940P0.060)O4 (☐ denotes vacancies in Ca sites). One of the phosphors was composed exclusively of the incommensurate (IC) phase with superspace group Pnma(0β0)00s and basic unit-cell dimensions of a = 0.68004(2) nm, b = 0.54481(2) nm, and c = 0.93956(3) nm (Z = 4). The crystal structure was made up of four types of β-Ca2SiO4-related layers with an interlayer. The incommensurate modulation with wavelength of 4.110 × b was induced by the long-range stacking order of these layers. When increasing the relative amount of the IC-phase with respect to the coexisting β-phase, the red light emission intensity, under excitation at 394 nm, steadily decreased to reach the minimum, at which the specimen was composed exclusively of the IC-phase. The coordination environments of Eu3+ ion in the crystal structures of β- and IC-phases might be closely related to the photoluminescence intensities of the phosphors.

Abstract The γ-phase Cuprous Iodide (CuI) emerges as a promising transparent p-type semiconductor for next-generation display technology because of its wide direct band gap, intrinsic p-type conductivity, and high carrier mobility. Two main peaks are observed in its photoluminescence (PL). One is short wavelength (410-430 nm) emission, which is well attributed to the electronic transitions at Cu vacancy, whereas the other long wavelength emission (680-720 nm) has not been fully understood. In this paper, through first-principles simulations, we investigate the formation energies and emission line shape for various defects, and discover that the intrinsic point defect cluster V_I+Cu_i^(2+) is the source of the long wavelength emission. Our finding is further supported by the prediction that the defect concentration decreases dramatically as the chemical condition changes from Cu-rich to I-rich, explaining the significant reduction in the red light emission if CuI is annealed in abundant I environment.

Colorimetric sensors offer the prospect for on-demand sensing diagnostics in simple and low-cost form factors, enabling rapid spatiotemporal inspection by digital cameras or the naked eye. However, realizing strong dynamic color variations in response to small changes in sample properties has remained a considerable challenge, which is often pursued through the use of highly responsive materials under broadband illumination. In this work, we demonstrate a general colorimetric sensing technique that overcomes the performance limitations of existing chromatic and luminance-based sensing techniques. Our approach combines structural color optical filters as sensing elements alongside a multichromatic laser illuminant. We experimentally demonstrate our approach in the context of label-free biosensing and achieve ultrasensitive and perceptually enhanced chromatic color changes in response to refractive index changes and small molecule surface attachment. Using structurally enabled chromaticity variations, the human eye is able to resolve ∼0.1-nm spectral shifts with low-quality factor (e.g., Q ∼ 15) structural filters. This enables spatially resolved biosensing in large area (approximately centimeters squared) lithography-free sensing films with a naked eye limit of detection of ∼3 pg/mm2, lower than industry standard sensors based on surface plasmon resonance that require spectral or angular interrogation. This work highlights the key roles played by both the choice of illuminant and design of structural color filter, and it offers a promising pathway for colorimetric devices to meet the strong demand for high-performance, rapid, and portable (or point-of-care) diagnostic sensors in applications spanning from biomedicine to environmental/structural monitoring.

In this work, hybrid polymeric bis-tridentate iridium(III) complexes bearing derivatives of terpyridine (tpy) and 2,6-di(phenyl) pyridine as ligands were successfully synthesized and evaluated as red-light emitters. At first, the synthesis of small molecular bis-tridendate Ir(III) complexes bearing alkoxy-, methyl-, or hydroxy-functionalized terpyridines and a dihydroxyphenyl-pyridine moiety was accomplished. Molecular complexes bearing two polymerizable end-hydroxyl groups and methyl- or alkoxy-decorated terpyridines were copolymerized with difluorodiphenyl-sulphone under high temperature polyetherification conditions. Alternatively, the post-polymerization complexation of the terpyridine-iridium(III) monocomplexes onto the biphenyl-pyridine main chain homopolymer was explored. Both cases afforded solution-processable metallocomplex-polymers possessing the advantages of phosphorescent emitters in addition to high molecular weights and excellent film-forming ability via solution casting. The structural, optical, and electrochemical properties of the monomeric and polymeric heteroleptic iridium complexes were thoroughly investigated. The polymeric metallocomplexes were found to emit in the orange–red region (550–600 nm) with appropriate HOMO and LUMO levels to be used in conjunction with blue-emitting hosts. By varying the metal loading on the polymeric backbone, the emitter’s specific emission maxima could be successfully tuned.
