Exciton confinement in organic dendrimer quantum wells for opto-electronic applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Organic dendrimers are a fascinating new class of materials for opto-electronic applications. We present coupled electronic oscillator calculations on novel nanoscale conjugated dendrimers for use in organic light-emitting diodes. Strong confinement of excitations at the center of the dendrimers is observed, which accounts for the dependence of intermolecular interactions and charge transport on the degree of branching of the dendrimer. The calculated absorption spectra are in excellent agreement with the measured data and show that benzene rings are shared between excitations on the linear segments of the hyperbranched molecules. The coupled electronic oscillator approach is ideally suited to treat large dendritic molecules. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1431542#

Ultrafast spin manipulation for opto-spin logic applications requires material systems that have strong spin-selective light-matter interaction. Conventional inorganic semiconductor nanostructures [for example, epitaxial II to VI quantum dots and III to V multiple quantum wells (MQWs)] are considered forerunners but encounter challenges such as lattice matching and cryogenic cooling requirement...
متن کاملNanoplatelets as material system between strong confinement and weak confinement
Recently, the fabrication of CdSe nanoplatelets became an important research topic. Nanoplatelets are often described as having a similar electronic structure as two-dimensional quantum wells and are promoted as colloidal quantum wells with monolayer precision width. In this paper we show that nanoplatelets are not ideal quantum wells, but cover depending on the size: the strong confinement reg...

Exciton localization in ZnO /MgxZn1−xO quantum wells QWs has been investigated systematically with various ZnO well widths for the fixed Mg0.23Zn0.77O barrier height. A strong exciton confinement is observed with an implicit dependence on the built-in electric field which is calculated to be 0.37 MV/cm. The exciton-phonon coupling strength varied significantly depending upon the degrees of exci...
