An opto-electronic switching device made from an evaporated spin crossover thin film over a graphene sensor is presented. The electrical transduction of both temperature and light-induced reversible transitions are demonstrated.
Upconversion materials have led to various breakthrough applications in solar energy conversion, imaging, and biomedicine. One key impediment is the facilitation of such processes at molecular scale solution where quenching effects are much more pronounced. In this work, solution-state cooperative luminescence (CL) upconversion arising from a Yb excited state explored mechanistic origin behind sensitisation (CS) Yb/Tb systems investigated. Counterintuitively, best UC performances were...
