Nonadiabatic excited-state molecular dynamics (NA-ESMD) simulations have been performed in order to study the time-dependent exciton localization during energy transfer between two chromophore units of the weakly coupled anthracene dimer dithia-anthracenophane (DTA). Simulations are done at both low temperature (10 K) and room temperature (300 K). The initial photoexcitation creates an exciton ...

Recently, we have experimentally observed signatures of sharp exciton peaks in the photoluminescence spectra bundles monoatomic carbon chains stabilized by gold nanoparticles and deposited on a glass substrate. Here, estimate characteristic energies excitonic transitions this complex quasi-one-dimensional nano-system with use variational method. We show that energy scale for fine structure is g...

Two samples of mesoporous anatase nanoparticles, prepared by the sol-gel method, were characterised by Cs-corrected high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Statistical evaluation of TEM data showed an average diameter of these crystallites of 8.8 nm and 11.1 nm, respectively. Optical spectroscopy by cathodoluminescence (CL...

All-solid-state strong light-matter coupling systems with large vacuum Rabi splitting are great important for quantum information application, such as quantum manipulation, quantum information storage and processing. The monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been explored as excellent candidates for the strong light-matter interaction, due to their extraordinary exciton binding...

We control the electrostatic environment of a single InAsP quantum dot in an InP nanowire with two contacts and two lateral gates positioned to an individual nanowire. We empty the quantum dot of excess charges and apply an electric field across its radial dimension. A large tuning range for the biexciton binding energy of 3 meV is obtained in a lateral electric field. At finite lateral electri...

We have measured circularly polarized photoluminescence in monolayer MoSe2 under perpendicular magnetic fields up to 10 T. At low doping densities, the neutral and charged excitons shift linearly with field strength at a rate of ∓0.12  meV/T for emission arising, respectively, from the K and K' valleys. The opposite sign for emission from different valleys demonstrates lifting of the valley deg...

In two-dimensional monolayer MoS2, excitons dominate the absorption and emission properties. However, the low electroluminescent efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio limit our understanding of the excitonic behavior of electroluminescence. Here, we study the microscopic origin of the electroluminescence from a diode of monolayer MoS2 fabricated on a heavily p-type doped silicon substrate. Direc...

Given that energy (exciton) migration in natural photosynthesis primarily occurs in highly ordered porphyrin-like pigments (chlorophylls), equally highly ordered porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) might be expected to exhibit similar behavior, thereby facilitating antenna-like light-harvesting and positioning such materials for use in solar energy conversion schemes. Herein, we rep...

The organic-inorganic hybrid quantum well compound, (C10H7C2H4NH3)2PbCl4, exhibits enhanced phosphorescence due to the energy transfer from the excitonic state of inorganic quantum well to the triplet state of naphthalene chromophore. In the present study, photoluminescence and optical absorption spectra of (C10H7C2H4NH3)2PbCl4 were investigated under pressure to 6.5 GPa in order to investigate...

We show that post-synthetic small-molecule intercalation can significantly reduce the electronic confinement of 2D hybrid perovskites. Using a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we explain structural, optical, and electronic effects of intercalating highly polarizable molecules in layered perovskites designed to stabilize the intercalants. Polarizable molecules in the organic layer...
