CTAB-coated Au nanorods were directly self-assembled into a vertically aligned monolayer with highly uniform hot spots through a simple but robust approach. By coupling with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, a maximum enhancement of 10.4 is achieved due to: increased excitation transition rate, radiative rate, and coupling efficiency of emission to the far field.

The unprecedented, purely gold(I) alkynyl-diphosphine clusters 1-3 demonstrate intense room-temperature phosphorescence with maximum quantum efficiency of 92% in solution (3) and 86% in solid (2) and thermally dependent emission in the crystalline form, attributed to the crystal lattice arrangement.

The latest advances in colloidal-quantum-dot material processing are combined with a double-sided junction architecture, which is done by efficiently incorporating indium ions in the ZnO eletrode. This platform allows the collection of all photogenerated carriers even at the maximum power point. The increased depletion width in the device facilitates full carrier collection, leading to a record...

Highly efficient exciplex systems incorporating a heptazine derivative () as an electron acceptor and 1,3-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene () as an electron donor are developed. An organic light-emitting diode containing 8 wt% : as an emitting layer exhibits a maximum external quantum efficiency of 11.3%.

Redox couples based on cobalt complexes were found to be effective in regenerating both inorganic CdSe quantum dot- and organic dye-sensitizers. The hybrid sensitizer composed of CdSe QD and ruthenium sensitizer (Z907Na) dye showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.76% on using cobalt(o-phen)(3)(2+/3+) as a common redox mediator.

Two blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence molecules based on bis(phenylsulfonyl)benzene with very small singlet-triplet splitting energy were designed and synthesized by combining 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole with 1,4-bis(phenylsulfonyl)benzene and 1,3-bis(phenylsulfonyl)benzene, and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 11.7% was achieved for an electroluminescent device.

Three ring-shaped AEE-active silole-containing compounds were synthesized by mild condensation reactions. Cyclotrisiloxane compound 1 displays high solid-state quantum yield (Φfl = 0.86) with the fluorescence maximum at 512 nm. This high fluorescence efficiency results mainly from decreased vibrational pathways to fluorescence decay due to the intramolecular C-H···π interactions.

An exciting field known as “Coherent Control of Quantum Systems” emerged from previously unsuccessful attempts to employ lasers to steer chemical reactions. One of the main ideas is to use the phase coherences within a spectrally broad bandwidth laser pulse to drive quantum systems to a desired target state. In other words, we specify the initial and the final state of a quantum system and desi...

The identification of an unknown quantum gate is a significant issue in quantum technology. In this paper, we propose a quantum gate identification method within the framework of quantum process tomography. In this method, a series of pure states are inputted to the gate and then a fast state tomography on the output states is performed and the data are used to reconstruct the quantum gate. Our...
