The electroluminescent performance and luminescent dynamics of devices are explored in depth via doping and host engineering, where thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) material 3,4,5,6-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-1,2-dicyanobenzene (4CzPN) serves as the emitter. The evolution of the exciton recombination zone with different hosts is discussed. In the case of TCTA host, the recombination zone is situated near the EML/ETL interface, resulting in the formation of various excitons, including monomer exciton, electroplex as well as electromer. The competition among these radiative pathways detrimentally affects the device performance and should be circumvented in the design of device structures. The mCP-hosted device provides the best performance with the highest efficiencies of 31.3 cd/A, 15.8 lm/W and 9.13 % due to its efficient energy transfer and balanced charge carrier mobilities. This study emphasizes that device engineering is an effective strategy for manipulating exciton recombination region and energy transfer, thus promoting the development of high performance TADF-based OLEDs.

The two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor tin diselenide (SnSe2) has recently gained great attention in electronic and optical attributed to its unique physical properties. Here, we present a pressure-dependent study on the phase transformation behavior of the SnSe2 crystal range from ambient pressure up to 34.81 GPa. In order to study the phase transition behavior of SnSe2, we employed In situ, high-pressure Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained single-crystal XRD data reveal that at 34.81 GPa, the lengths of the a and c axes are reduced by approximately 9.2 % and 21.7 %, respectively, compared to their values at 0 GPa. This indicates that the lattice parameter a is less affected by pressure compared to the lattice constant c. At a pressure of up to 8 GPa, the low-frequency vibrational mode (approximately 119 cm−1) becomes significantly weaker and then undetectable. Surprisingly, a Raman band gradually emerges at around 80 cm−1. Additionally, the high-frequency vibrational mode gradually splits into two modes, and the Raman signal weakens and broadens. These phenomena suggest a decrease in the crystalline symmetry of SnSe2 and the occurrence of semiconductor-to-metal transitions from 8 GPa onward. Our findings offer a new avenue for further investigation into the complex phase transition mechanisms in transition metal dichalcogenides-related materials.

Spin-dependent electronic structure and optical properties of various ZnO nanomaterials are analyzed through first-principles calculations within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). A comparative study is conducted on different ZnO nanomaterials upon the adsorption of an NH2 molecule, as a component of bacterial protein, to identify the optimal ZnO structure for achieving the desired level of bacterial inhibition. This study elucidates the effects of NH2 adsorption on the electronic and optical characteristics of ZnO-based systems with varying morphologies. A significant finding is that the bandgap reduction induced by NH2 adsorption markedly influences the antibacterial capability of these nanostructures. Additionally, the potential mechanisms by which NH2 may be released in the presence of bacteria under different conditions are discussed.

Regulation of strong coupling between multiple BICs and excitons in bulk WS2 metasurfaces 调控块状 WS2 超表面中多个 BIC 与激子之间的强耦合

Bulk transition metal dichalcogenides have become staples in nanophotonics, condensed matter physics, and quantum optics due to their elevated refractive index and the reliable exciton response they maintain at room temperature. In our research, we harness block WS2 to engineer an ultra-thin nanodisk metasurface capable of supporting both magnetic dipole Q-BIC (quasi-bound in the continuum) resonance and magnetic ring dipole Q-BIC resonance. Remarkably, these Q-BIC resonances are capable of self-hybridizing with excitons, facilitating intense light-matter interactions within the structure, independent of an external cavity. The self-hybridized exciton polaritons, a result of the strong coupling between Q-BIC and excitons, display characteristic anti-crossing behavior, with Rabi splittings reaching up to 161 meV and 165 meV, respectively. Building upon these findings, we utilize a Hamiltonian model that accounts for residual excitons, thereby substantiating the strong coupling phenomenon. Our discoveries hold significant promise for the manipulation of excitonic polaritons at room temperature, potentially leading to the development of large-scale, cost-effective integrated polaron devices that operate under room temperature.

This paper presents the study of electrical and ferroelectric behaviour of lead-free solid-solution with the end members belonging to two distinct families: perovskite and bismuth layer-structured ferroelectrics (BLSF). (1-x) (K0.5Na0.5NbO3) - x (SrBi2Nb2O9) (x = 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.50 mol %) ceramics were prepared using solid-state reaction. XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to study the phase formation. A dense and irregular grain distribution was observed from SEM images. Addition of SBN in KNN tends to lower the transition temperature (from 379 °C to 372 °C), εr (from 435 to 375) and Pr (from 9.49 μC/cm2 to 2.85 μC/cm2) initially up to x = 0.30, however Tc and Pr increase with further increase in SBN composition. The composition with x = 0.5 shows enhanced ferroelectric properties with εr = 473, Tc = 417 °C, Pr = 13.81 μC/cm2 and Ec = 31.96 kV/cm which makes this ceramic composition a potential candidate for ferroelectric capacitor and memory devices.

In order to better understand the physical properties of Ti3AC2 (A = Sn, Ge, Si) ternary carbides and to provide a theoretical basis for their applications, we have calculated the electronic structure and optical properties of Ti3AC2 (A = Sn, Ge, Si) by first principles. The results, based on the formation enthalpy and binding energy calculations, indicate that Ti3AC2 (A = Sn, Ge, Si) is thermodynamically and kinetically stable. Charge density differences and bond residence numbers further reveal the formation of a strong Ti-C bond in Ti3AC2 (A = Sn, Ge, Si), attributed to the hybridization between the C-s and Ti-d states. Finally, by analyzing the optical properties such as dielectric function, reflectivity and absorption coefficient, the results show that Ti3AC2 (A = Sn, Ge, Si) exhibits optical anisotropy.

This work has explored the behavior of an electron traversing a two-dimensional InAs quantum ring, affected by an off-center impurity and exposed to a magnetic field. These investigations have involved analyzing the energy spectrum and determining both linear and non-linear absorption coefficients. To solve the Schrödinger equation of the system, the numerical diagonalization method was utilized by using by choosing orthonormal base functions that are solutions of two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator. For the absorption coefficients including the linear and third-order nonlinear terms the standard density matrix formalism combined with the perturbation expansion method is used.

TiO2 nanoparticles with lanthanide dopant's concentration Ho (1 %) and Yb (1, 3 %) were successfully produced by hydrothermal method utilizing titanium isopropoxide, holmium nitrate pentahydrate and ytterbium nitrate pentahydrate as precursors. Produced nanoparticles were analyzed using structural (XRD, FTIR), microstructural (FESEM, EDX), optical (UV–visible, PL), photocatalytic and thermal (TGA, DTG) characterization tools. XRD indicated that TiO2 and (Ho, Yb) co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles have anatase phase. The crystallite size, micro-strain, lattice constant and dislocation density were calculated through XRD data. Optical studies revealed bandgap, urbach energy, refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical conductivity and PL emission wavelength. Photocatalytic activity predicted the photodegradation of Rhodamine Band Malachite Green dyes as examined through visible light absorption, and indicated that degradation rate of photocatalyst enhances as (Ho, Yb) doping concentration increases in TiO2 NPs. Thermal analysis was carried out to estimate weight loss during different phases, and parameters such as activation energy, entropy, enthalpy and Gibb's free energy.

This study investigated the optical and electrical performance of Ga-face and N-face GaN(p)GaN/InxGa1xNQWGaN(n) multiple quantum well solar cells (MQWSCs) to address the need for more efficient solar energy conversion. Using a numerical finite difference method (FDM), we analysed the impacts of built-in electric fields, spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations, the quantum well (QW) size, the QW number, and the indium concentration on the optical and electrical characteristics of the proposed MQW solar cell. Our findings indicate that N-face structures align built-in and polarization fields, enhancing carrier generation and collection compared with Ga-face structures. Specifically, our results demonstrate that, at x = 0.6, w = 2 nm, and NQW=50, the N-face structure achieves maximum conversion efficiencies of 26.56 % and 23.47 %, respectively, for the Ga-face structure. These findings demonstrate that tuning the QW thickness and indium concentration can optimize the MQWSC efficiency, with N-face structures achieving greater performance. This work highlights the potential of N-face p-i-n structures in advancing high-efficiency solar cells.
