Abstract The tunability of the bandgap, absorption and emission energies, photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield, exciton transport, energy transfer in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers provides a new class functions for wide range ultrathin photonic devices. Recent strain‐engineering approaches have enabled to tune some these properties, yet dynamic control at nanoscale with real‐time ‐space characterizations remains challenge. Here, nano‐mechanical naturally‐formed wrinkles...
Abstract Emerging photo-induced excitonic processes in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers, e.g., interplay of intra- and inter-layer excitons conversion to trions, allow new opportunities for ultrathin hybrid photonic devices. However, with the associated large degree spatial heterogeneity, understanding controlling their complex competing interactions TMD heterobilayers at nanoscale remains a challenge. Here, we present an all-round dynamic control interlayer-excitons...
Abstract Photoluminescence (PL), a photo-excited spontaneous emission process, provides wealth of optical and electronic properties materials, which enable microscopic spectroscopic imaging, biomedical sensing diagnosis, range photonic device applications. However, conventional far-field PL measurements have limitations in sensitivity spatial resolution, especially to investigate single nano-materials or nano-scale dimension them. In contrast, tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL)...
Understanding and controlling the nanoscale transport of excitonic quasiparticles in atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are crucial to produce highly efficient nano-excitonic devices.

Exciton-polaritons confined in plasmonic cavities are hybridized light-matter quasiparticles, with distinct optical characteristics compared to plasmons and excitons alone. Here, we demonstrate the electric tunability of a single polaritonic quantum dot operating at room temperature electric-field tip-enhanced strong coupling spectroscopy. For nanoplasmonic tip cavity variable dc local field, dynamically control Rabi frequency corresponding polariton emission, crossing weak coupling. We...
When synchrotron radiation is used as an excitation source, the total reflection x-ray fluorescence analysis of surface contamination on silicon wafer has extremely low background intensity that determines minimum detection limit. In this article, spectrum originating from photoelectron bremsstrahlung calculated using Monte Carlo method. The doubly differential electron cross sections obtained Born approximation modified by Elwert factor and with use form approach for screening are instead...
Abstract Spatial manipulation of excitonic quasiparticles, such as neutral excitons, charged and interlayer in two-dimensional semiconductors offers unique capabilities for a broad range optoelectronic applications, encompassing photovoltaics, exciton-integrated circuits, quantum light-emitting systems. Nonetheless, their practical implementation is significantly restricted by the absence electrical controllability short lifetime low exciton funneling efficiency at room temperature, which...
A quantitative single-molecule tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) study at room temperature remained a challenge due to the rapid structural dynamics of molecules exposed air. Here, we demonstrate hyperspectral TERS imaging single or few brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) temperature, along with spectral analyses. Robust chemical is enabled by freeze-frame approach using thin Al2O3 capping layer, which suppresses diffusions and inhibits reactions contamination in For resolved spatially image,...
Strain engineering of perovskite quantum dots (pQDs) enables widely tunable photonic device applications. However, manipulation at the single-emitter level has never been attempted. Here, we present a tip-induced control approach combined with tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL) spectroscopy to engineer strain, bandgap, and emission yield single pQD. Single CsPbBrxI3–x pQDs are clearly resolved through hyperspectral TEPL imaging ∼10 nm spatial resolution. The plasmonic tip then directly...
