The application of pyrometry to retrieve particle temperature in particulate-generating flames strictly requires the knowledge of the spectral behavior of emissivity of light-emitting particles. Normally, this spectral behavior is considered time-independent. The current paper challenges this assumption and explains why the emissivity of oxide nanoparticles formed in flame can change with time. The suggested phenomenon is related to transitions of electrons between the valence and conduction energy bands in oxides that are wide-gap dielectrics. The emissivity change is particularly crucial for the interpretation of fast processes occurring during laser-induced experiments. In the present work, we compare the response of titania particles produced by a flame spray to the laser irradiation at two different excitation wavelengths. The difference in the temporal behavior of the corresponding light emission intensities is attributed to the different mechanisms of electron excitation during the laser pulse. Interband transitions that are possible only in the case of the laser photon energy exceeding the titania energy gap led to the increase of the electron density in the conduction band. Relaxation of those electrons back to the valence band is the origin of the observed emissivity drop after the UV laser irradiation.

AbstractThe concept of a novel solid-state light-emitting device is proposed on a basis of our previous report that the nanocrystalline porous silicon (PS) diode with a well-controlled structure operate as an efficient ballistic electron emitter. This device is composed of a semitransparent thin Au film, a fluorescent thin film, a PS layer, and n-type Si substrate. When a positive bias voltage is applied to the Au electrode, visible luminescence is emitted of which band corresponds to that of the deposited fluorescent material. The optoelectronic characteristics suggest that the light emission is based on direct excitation of fluorescent film by ballistic electrons generated in the PS layer. This result indicates another possibility of nanocrystalline silicon for photonic applications.

ABSTRACTFor light-emitting porous Si there has been a severe problem with instability and degradation of the light emission. We report that a stabilization of the emission intensity and the peak energy can be achieved in air by a proper laser irradiation, In-situ photoluminescence measurements were performed to monitor the degradation and stabilization process under different conditions and parameters, such as laser power, laser wavelength and environment (ambient atmosphere of certain gas or ultra high vacuum). We found oxygen is the major cause for the emission degradation in this laser enhanced adsorption process, and the laser heating effect can be excluded. For a comparison we study the reversible thermal heating and quenching process. We also discuss microwave and ECR plasma passivation results.

ABSTRACTOrganic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been fabricated from organic semiconducting polymer nanospheres (SPNs) which have been deposited from aqueous dispersions. The active layer of the devices consists of a single, homogeneous layer of light emitting SPNs, as verified by optical, interferometric and surface probe measurements. Different batches of SPNs with different SPN diameters have been tested (69nm, 95nm, 126nm and 150 nm). All SPN-based OLEDs exhibit a light emission onset corresponding to the SPN energy gap (ca. 2.7 eV for m-LPPP, a semiconducting para-phenylene ladder polymer). The low onset is attributed to field enhanced injection of charge carriers at the aluminum cathode due to the formation of stalactite-type nanostructures. A detailed comparison of the SPN-based and bulk semiconducting polymer films reveals no differences in the basic optoelectronic properties.

Abstract Perovskite semiconductors have experienced meteoric rise in a variety of optoelectronic applications. With a strong foothold on photovoltaics, much focus now lies on their light emission applications. Rapid progress in materials engineering have led to the demonstration of external quantum efficiencies that surpass the previously established theoretical limits. However, there remains much scope to further optimize the light propagation inside the device stack through careful tailoring of the optical processes that take place at the bulk and interface levels. Photon recycling in the emitter material followed by efficient outcoupling can result in boosting external efficiencies up to 100%. In addition, the poor ambient and operational stability of these materials and devices restrict further commercialization efforts. With best operational lifetimes of only a few hours reported, there is a long way to go before perovskite LEDs can be perceived as reliable alternatives to more established technologies like organic or quantum dot-based LED devices. This review article starts with the discussions of the mechanism of luminescence in these perovskite materials and factors impacting it. It then looks at the possible routes to achieve efficient outcoupling through nanostructuring of the emitter and the substrate. Next, we analyse the instability issues of perovskite-based LEDs from a photophysical standpoint, taking into consideration the underlying phenomena pertaining to defects, and summarize recent advances in mitigating the same. Finally, we provide an outlook on the possible routes forward for the field and propose new avenues to maximally exploit the excellent light-emitting capabilities of this family of semiconductors.
