It is shown that semiconductor band gap of 0.46 eV. The calculated in-plane intrinsic electron can reach order 10(5) cm(2)/(V s) at room temperature, while hole about an magnitude lower.
Abstract The development of single molecule white light emitters is extremely challenging for pure phosphorescent metal-free system at room temperature. Here we report a organic phosphor, namely 4-chlorobenzoyldibenzothiophene, emitting temperature phosphorescence with Commission Internationale de l’Éclair-age coordinates (0.33, 0.35). Experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the emission emerged from dual phosphorescence, which emit first second excited triplet states. We...
We summarize our recent progresses in developing first-principles methods for predicting the intrinsic charge mobility carbon and organic nanomaterials, within framework of Boltzmann transport theory relaxation time approximation. The electron–phonon couplings are described by Bardeen Shockley's deformation potential theory, namely delocalized electrons scattered longitudinal acoustic phonons as modeled uniform lattice dilation. have applied such methodology to calculating carrier mobilities...
Band gap engineering of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials is the key to their applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and photonics. Here, for first time, we demonstrate that 2D system, by alloying two with different band gaps (MoS2 WS2), tunable can be obtained alloys (Mo(1-x)W(x)S(2) monolayers, x = 0-1). Atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy has revealed random arrangement Mo W atoms Mo(1-x)W(x)S(2) monolayer alloys. Photoluminescence...
Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with long afterglow from pure organic materials has attracted great attention for its potential applications in biological imaging, digital encryption, optoelectronic devices, and so on. Organic have been considered to be nonphosphorescent owing their weak molecular spin-orbit coupling high sensitivity temperature. However, recently, some purely compounds demonstrated highly efficient RTP upon aggregation, while others fail. Namely, it remains a...
The excellent electroluminescent (EL) properties of 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles, 1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole (MPPS), and 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexaphenylsilole (HPS) have been found. Despite some studies devoted to these materials, very little is known about the real origin their unique EL properties. Therefore, we investigated structures, photoluminescence (PL), charge carrier transport 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles as well effect substituents on characteristics. single...
It is a highly desirable but difficult task to predict the molecular fluorescence quantum efficiency from first principles. The molecule in excited state can undergo spontaneous radiation, conversion of electronic energy nuclear motion, or chemical reaction. For relatively large molecules, it impossible obtain full potential surfaces for ground and states study excited-state dynamics. We show that, under harmonic approximation by considering Duschinsky rotation effect, properties be...

The development of high-efficiency and low-cost organic emissive materials devices is intrinsically limited by the energy-gap law spin statistics, especially in near-infrared (NIR) region. A novel design strategy reported for realizing highly efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) via J-aggregates with strong intermolecular charge transfer (CT). Two donor-acceptor molecules planar acceptor are designed synthesized, which can readily form CT solid states exhibit wide-tuning...
First-principles density functional theory coupled with deformation potential calculations indicate a strong width-dependent carrier mobility: for an armchair graphene ribbon whose width (i.e., number of carbons along the edge) is N = 3k, room-temperature electron mobility calculated to be approximately 10(6) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and hole 10(4) s(-1), while 3k + 1 or 2, 4-8 x 10(5) s(-1). Such alternating behavior absent in zigzag-type graphene.

Both crystal packing and molecular size have strong influences on the charge mobility for organic semiconductors. The structures oligothiophene (nT) can be roughly classified into two types: Z = 2 (two molecules in one unit cell) or high temperature (HT) phase 4 low (LT) phase. Through first-principles calculations within Marcus electron transfer theory coupled with random walk simulation room diffusion constants, we found that hole of HT is about 3–4 times larger than LT because favors...
Abstract Deep understanding of the inherent luminescence mechanism is essential for development aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) materials and applications. We first note that intermolecular excitonic coupling much weaker in strength than intramolecular electron‐vibration a majority newly termed AIEgens, which leads to peak position insensitive coupling, hence conventional model J‐aggregation cannot effectively explain their AIE phenomena. Then, using multiscale computational approach...
Smart materials with ultralong phosphorescence are rarely investigated and reported. Herein we report on a series of molecules unique dynamic organic (UOP) features, enabled by manipulating intermolecular interactions through UV light irradiation. Our experimental data reveal that prolonged irradiation single-component phosphors PCzT, BCzT, FCzT under ambient conditions can activate UOP emission lifetimes spanning from 1.8 to 1330 ms. These also be deactivated back their original states...
The mechanism of charge transport in organic materials is still controversial from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. At room temperature, molecular deformations interact strongly with the carrier through intermolecular intramolecular phonons, suggesting a thermally activated hopping as described by Marcus electron transfer theory. However, several measurements have indicated that electronic behaves ``bandlike'' manner, decrease mobility increasing contradiction to description....
