We demonstrate strong exciton-plasmon coupling in silver nanodisk arrays integrated with monolayer MoS2 via angle-resolved reflectance microscopy spectra of the coupled system. Strong is observed strength up to 58 meV at 77 K, which also survives room temperature. The involves three types resonances: excitons, localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) individual nanodisks and plasmonic lattice array. show that strength, polariton composition, dispersion can be effectively engineered by...

Here, by integrating chemically grown monolayers MoS2 with a silver-bowtie nanoantenna array supporting narrow surface-lattice plasmonic resonances, unique optical system has been achieved. enhanced exciton-plasmon coupling enables profound changes the emission and excitation processes leading to spectrally...
Active control of light-matter interactions in semiconductors is critical for realizing next generation optoelectronic devices with real-time the system's optical properties and hence functionalities via external fields. The ability to dynamically manipulate by applied fields active materials coupled cavities fixed geometrical parameters opens up possibilities controlling lifetimes, oscillator strengths, effective mass, relaxation a exciton–photon (or plasmon) system.

Abstract A strong modification of the electronic properties solution‐processable conjugated polythiophenes by self‐assembled silane molecules is reported. Upon bulk doping with hydrolized fluoroalkyl trichlorosilane, electrical conductivity ultrathin polythiophene films increases up to six orders magnitude, reaching record values for polythiophenes: (1.1 ± 0.1) × 10 3 S cm −1 poly(2,5‐bis(3‐tetradecylthiophen ‐2‐yl)thieno[3,2‐ b ]thiophene) (PBTTT) and 50 20 poly(3‐hexyl)thiophene (P3HT)....
Kelvin probe force microscopy measurements on rubrene single crystals partially coated with fluorinated and non-fluorinated SAM derivatives are employed to determine the SAM-induced surface potentials caused by an interfacial charge-transfer doping process resulting in interface dipole. The potential topographic information turn allow calculation of effective intramolecular electric fields carrier densities due SAM-modified crystals. Detailed facts importance specialist readers published as...
Commonly observed variations in photoluminescence (PL) spectra of crystalline organic semiconductors, including the appearance or enhancement certain PL bands, are shown to originate from a small amount structural disorder (e.g., amorphous inclusions embedded crystal), rather than be necessarily related chemical impurities material oxidation. For instance, rubrene, minute such can lead dominant band at 650 nm as result triplet excitons captured and fused these sites, with subsequent emission phase.

Abstract Under certain conditions, self‐assembling molecules preferentially bind to molecular steps at the surface of crystalline organic semiconductors, inducing a strong local doping effect. This creates macroscopically long conducting paths nanoscale width (a single analogue nanowires) that can span distances up 1 cm between electrical contacts. The observed effect step decoration opens intriguing possibilities for visualization, passivation, and selective interfacial defects in...

In particular, two-electron singlet-triplet system with one electron each dot generates an eight-level which two-level four-level double-\ensuremath{\Lambda} systems are coupled only through hyperfine interaction other relaxation processes. We first emission spectrum under resonant driving a continuous-wave laser then...
Recently, a variety of businesses have appeared not only in the drone's military market but also consumer and service market. The reason for rapid growth is that it possible to produce cheap drones using open source. Although there are lots system controlling drones, people still experience accidents due inexperienced user who purchased drones. These occur from difference between viewpoint Therefore, this paper, we propose User Centric Drone Controller (UCDC) reduce caused by clumsy manipulation.
