Large area (mm 2 in size) infrared electroluminescent devices are demonstrated using colloidally grown PbSe quantum dots (QDs) organic host materials. By changing the QD size electroluminescence is tuned from λ = 1.33–1.56 μm. The fabrication of this light‐emitting device (see Figure) combines thin film processing techniques available to materials with tunable optical properties QDs.
Out of the blue: (CdS)ZnS nanocrystals suitable for display applications have been prepared and exhibit a narrow, blue luminescence from 460 to 480 nm (FWHM ≤28 nm; see picture), with quantum efficiencies 20–30 %. It is possible demonstrate electroluminescence these core–shell by embedding them in an organic thin-film device.
We demonstrate a solvent-free contact printing process for deposition of patterned and unpatterned colloidal quantum dot (QD) thin films as the electroluminescent layers within hybrid organic-QD light-emitting devices (QD-LEDs). Our method benefits from simplicity, low cost, high throughput solution-processing methods, while eliminating exposure device structures to solvents. Because charge transport in organic/inorganic QD-LEDs consist solvent-sensitive organic films, ability avoid solvent...
On the basis of evidence from 31P NMR spectroscopy, and using PbSe as a model, we propose two simultaneous mechanisms through which "monomers" are formed in preparations lead chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs). In one mechanism, selenium is delivered Se2- species, whereas other, Se0 reacts with metal already reduced by organophosphine. This latter mechanism helps explain sensitivity NC to purity organophosphines allows rational modification batch reactions increase yield.
We investigate a new method for forming large-area (> cm2) ordered monolayers of colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs). The QD thin films are formed in single step by spin-casting mixed solution aromatic organic materials and aliphatically capped QDs. two different phase separate during solvent drying, predefined set conditions the QDs can assemble into hexagonally close-packed crystalline domains. demonstrate robustness flexibility this phase-separation process, as well how properties...
Green to the core: CdxZn1−xSe alloy core nanocrystals are synthesized and overcoated with CdyZn1−yS create core–shell ideal wavelength of emission for quantum dot light-emitting device (QD-LED) displays. These (CdxZn1−xSe)CdyZn1−yS used fabricate color-saturated green-emitting QD-LEDs (see picture), which suitable display applications.
Silica microspheres coated with a silica or titania shell containing fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals are described. Since the coating process does not affect monodispersity of microspheres, defined size and emission wavelength, potentially useful for biological applications, can be fabricated. The Figure shows 100 nm diameter blue-light-emitting 500 red-light-emitting circulating in brain mouse.
We demonstrate tunable room-temperature amplified spontaneous emission and lasing from blue-emitting core-shell CdS∕ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) stabilized in a sol-gel derived silica matrix. Variable stripe length measurements show that these NC-silica composites have modal gain of ∼100cm−1 at room temperature. Coating microspheres with composite film via facile process resulted uniform resonators exhibit over long periods continuous excitation. This work opens up spectral window for tunable,...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQD) are now making their entry to full-color displays, endowed by brightness and single-material base. By contrast, many obstacles have been encountered in use towards lasers. We demonstrate here optically pumped distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, based on close-packed, solid films self-assembled from type-I CQDs. Notably, the single mode CQD-DFB lasers could reach such a low threshold as be pumpable with compact pulsed source quasi-continuous wave regime. Our...

This method may provide versatile platform for integration planar photonic circuits.
The manganese oxo-cluster, [Mn12O12(O2CMe)16(H2O)4]·2(HO2CMe)·4(H2O), (Mn-12), has been the subject of intense interest for its novel magnetic properties. Although it is a model system nanoscale data storage, no methods forming films or attaching cluster to surfaces have reported. Here we demonstrate simple approach using functionalized self-assembled monolayers and short-chain polyelectrolytes make monolayer nanometer-scale multilayer Mn-12.
High-brightness, color-tunable colloidal quantum dots are incorporated in 3D nanoporous GaN to create a nanocomposite material (CQD/NP-GaN), which is demonstrated be an effective approach for wavelength down-conversion nanomaterial solid-state lighting. The white-light-emitting diode (LED) made from blue GaN-based LED and the CQD/NP-GaN shows increase of extraction efficiency by factor 2, controllable white color, as high 82%.
