Novel two-photon absorption (TPA) chromophores are synthesized; they have dithienothiophene (DTT) as a π-center which is attached by electron donor (D) or acceptor (A) at each end through π-conjugation. Their TPA cross section, measured using nanosecond- well femtosecond-pulsed laser, exhibits one of the largest values known so far. This attributable mainly to unique electronic properties DTT.
We demonstrate a relative improvement in power conversion efficiency of polymer nanocomposite photovoltaic cells consisting poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) functionalized CdSe nanocrystals. Thermal deprotection processing the tert-buthoxycarbonyl moiety carbamate ligand surrounding surface nanocrystal significantly shortened length between nanocrystals and matrix. The resulting device performance was investigated as function composition ratio P3HT/CdSe heating temperature. This simple...
This paper reports synthesis and semiempirical modeling of 1,4-bis(cyanostyryl)benzene (CSB)-based quadrupolar isomeric molecules (α- β-CSB-TPs), designed to produce enhancement in fluorescence quantum yield two-photon absorption cross-sections for the nanoaggregate form. Fluorescence together with high optical properties isomers have been fine-tuned by moving cyano group from α β position, which results longer absorption-fluorescence wavelengths, higher one- absorptivities β-CSB-TP. In...
We report an approach to produce predefined patterns of quantum dots and multipod nanocrystals using optical lithography for direct writing films optoelectronic electronic devices. To obtain photopatternability, the nanostructures (for example, CdSe, CdTe, PbSe nanocrystals) were functionalized by incorporation functional ligand t-butoxycarbonyl (t-BOC) which has acid-labile moiety. This change in surface chemistry results ability photopattern semiconductor where desired a number device...
Silicon solar cells mainly absorb visible light, although the sun emits ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared light. Because surface reflectance of a textured with SiNX film on silicon cell in UV wavelength region (250–450 nm) is higher than ∼27%, solar-cells cannot effectively convert light into photo-voltaic power. We implemented concept energy-down-shift using CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum-dots (QDs) p-type to more QDs demonstrated clear evidence energy-down-shift, which absorbed emitted...
Perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl, and I) nanostructures have been intensively studied as they are luminescent, photovoltaic, photosensitizing active materials. Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with MX2 (M Mo, W; X S, Se, Te, etc.) structures used in flexible optoelectronic devices.

Three functionalized second-order nonlinear optical polyimides were synthesized by the step growth polymerization reaction between a chromophore-containing dianhydride and three different diamine compounds. This alternate approach (i.e., incorporating chromophore into monomer) may avoid troublesome syntheses of can provide easy preparation with various chromophores. The number-average molecular weights (Mn) final polymers determined GPC ranged 10 000 16 800 (Mw/Mn = 1.59−2.28). No melting...
