Biologically inspired band-edge laser action from semiconductor with dipole-forbidden band-gap transition
A new approach is proposed to light up band-edge stimulated emission arising from a semiconductor with dipole-forbidden band-gap transition. To illustrate our working principle, here we demonstrate the feasibility on the composite of SnO2 nanowires (NWs) and chicken albumen. SnO2 NWs, which merely emit visible defect emission, are observed to generate a strong ultraviolet fluorescence centered ...
متن کاملDipole-allowed direct band gap silicon superlattices
Silicon is the most popular material used in electronic devices. However, its poor optical properties owing to its indirect band gap nature limit its usage in optoelectronic devices. Here we present the discovery of super-stable pure-silicon superlattice structures that can serve as promising materials for solar cell applications and can lead to the realization of pure Si-based optoelectronic d...
متن کاملThe metal - organic semiconductor interface: Dipole and band bending
In recent years there has been growing interest in the field of thin organic films due to their successful application in optical and electronic devices, such as light emitting diodes, solar cells or field effect transistors. The family of the phthalocyanines (PC’s) represents one of the most promising candidates for ordered organic thin films, as these systems possess advantageous attributes s...
متن کاملTailoring the Energy Band Gap of Transition Metal Doped TiO2 Thin Film
Water splitting for hydrogen production under sunlight using TiO2 as photo catalyst provides a better route for solar energy and attracts the attention of many researchers. The photo catalytic activity of TiO2 under sunlight irradiation depends on the band gap energy. The transition metal doped TiO2 shows an edge over TiO2 in optical absorbance and photo catalytic activity. Thin film of Cr dope...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Band-Gap Tunable Elastic Optical Multilayer Fibers
The concentrically-layered photonic structure found in the tropical fruit Margaritaria nobilis serves as inspiration for photonic fibers with mechanically tunable band-gap. The fibers show the spectral filtering capabilities of a planar Bragg stack while the microscopic curvature decreases the strong directional chromaticity associated with flat multilayers. Elongation of the elastic fibers res...
