Dynamic Emission Tuning of X-ray Radioluminescent Crystalline Colloidal Arrays: Coupling the Optical Stop Band with Sequential F?rster Resonance Energy Transfers
摘要： X-ray radiation exhibits diminished scattering and a greater penetration depth in tissue relative to the visible spectrum and has spawned new medical imaging techniques that exploit X-ray luminescence of nanoparticles. The majority of the nanoparticles finding applications in this field incorporate metals with high atomic numbers and pose potential toxicity effects. Here, a general strategy for the preparation of a fully organic X-ray radioluminescent colloidal platform that can be tailored to emit anywhere in the visible spectrum through a judicious choice in donor/acceptor pairing and multiple sequential F?rster resonance energy transfers (FRETs) is presented. This is demonstrated with three different types of ≈100 nm particles that are doped with anthracene as the scintillating molecule to “pump” subsequent FRET dye pairs that result in emissions from ≈400 nm out past 700 nm. The particles can be self-assembled in crystalline colloidal arrays, and the radioluminescence of the particles can be dynamically tuned by coupling the observed rejection wavelength with the dyes’ emission.

Laser Optoacoustic Method for Measurement of Light Extinction Coefficient and Investigation of Its Spatial Distribution in Colloidal Media
摘要： In the present work, the method which allows investigating the spatial distribution of light extinction coefficient in colloidal media is experimentally realized. The proposed method is based on the dependence of temporal profiles of excited OA-signals on the absorption and extinction coefficients of the studied medium. Water-based and kerosene-based magnetic fluids with volume content of magnetite particles in the range 0.35–3.5 % were studied as an example of the medium with spatially non-uniform optical properties. The capability of the reconstruction of the one-dimensional spatial distribution for the light extinction coefficient in the investigated media is demonstrated. It was shown that the relative change of the extinction coefficient with depth depends on volume concentration of magnetite particles, type of acoustical boundary and properties of carrier liquids. In the case of acoustical rigid boundary of magnetic fluid, an additional induced anisotropy occurs, which leads to increasing of the light extinction coefficient with depth in comparison with acoustical free boundary of fluid.

[IEEE 2018 23rd Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) - Jeju Island, Korea (South) (2018.7.2-2018.7.6)] 2018 23rd Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) - 2.8?μm infrared photodetectors based on PbSe colloidal quantum dot films
摘要： In this study, we synthesized monodisperse and high purity PbSe CQDs and then demonstrated the photodetectors working at different wavelengths up to 2.8 μm. Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have been studied extensively due to their attractive optoelectronic properties such as high luminescence efficiency, large dipole moment, strong light absorption, good photo-stability, and multiple electron hole pair generation. More importantly, the strong quantum confinement effect allows us to tailor the energy band gap of these materials by controlling their size in a cost-effective wet chemical synthesis. These advantages bring CdSe-based CQDs to a competitive market of lighting and display technology today. The research on lead based chalcogenide (PbTe, PbS, and PbSe) CQDs for infrared applications has also received much scientific and technological attention because of the possibility to tune the bandgap in the infrared wavelength range. Among lead based chalcogenide family, lead selenide (PbSe) CQDs have received more attention in not only photodetectors but also many infrared optoelectronic applications like solar cells, light emitting diodes, etc [1-4]. In the present work, we report about high performance photodetectors at a broad spectral range, for the first time, up to 2.8 μm based on our high quality, monodisperse PbSe CQDs. We deposited thin films of synthesized PbSe CQDs on the patterned interdigitated platinum electrodes by a drop casting method to create photodetectors. These photodetectors with different thicknesses of the PbSe CQD film were studied and optimized in detail for the best performance. The photocurrent responses were recorded as a function of bias voltage using infrared LED illuminations with wavelengths of up to 2.8 μm.

Pulsed Laser Photopatterning of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Structures as Robust Solutiona??Processed Optical Gain Media
摘要： Solution-processed optical gain media such as thin films of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals promise ease of fabrication and scalable production while offering a spectrally wide range of emission colors. However, depositing such gain media in a size- and shape-specific manner at a precise location on a substrate can be highly challenging. In this work, a facile approach for fabricating solution-processed cesium lead halide perovskite structures of any arbitrary shape and size from their nanocrystal counterparts via a pulsed laser photopatterning process is demonstrated. The photopatterned structures resist solvation in both polar and nonpolar solvents, allowing for the straightforward removal of unpatterned regions. Their robustness is attributed to the ligand-removal, sintering, and photoannealing of the nanocrystals at the site of irradiation. Concomittantly, the photopatterning process results in lengthened Auger-dominated biexciton lifetimes and larger absorption cross-sections that permit relatively low amplified spontaneous emission thresholds. It is shown that the photopatterning process may be used to fabricate cesium lead halide based gain media capable of multiwavelength emission, orientation-dependent wavelength of emission, as well as functional operation while fully immersed in various solvents. It is envisioned that the photopatterning process may be extended to other perovskite systems to include applications beyond those requiring light-emission.

Convection Dynamics Forced by Optical Trapping with a Focused Laser Beam
摘要： Optical trapping dynamics of colloidal particles in solution is essential for understanding laser-induced assembling of molecules and nanomaterials, which contributes to nanofabrication, bioengineering, and microfluidics. In this paper, the importance of the surrounding fluid motion in optical trapping is investigated; that is, we reveal convection fluid dynamics forced by optical trapping with a focused laser beam. The fluid flow in optical trapping is evaluated by both experiments using the particle-image-velocimetry of fluorescent particles in solutions and theoretical consideration based on numerical analysis. A theoretical model consists of Navier?Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation that considers the temperature elevation induced by a photothermal effect. Furthermore, the effect of the particle motion induced by the optical force on fluid flow is also included in the analysis by developing a simple one-way homogeneous-type multiphase flow model. From both experimental and theoretical results, it turns out that the fluid flow in optical trapping is caused not only by thermal convection due to the temperature elevation but also by the collective particle motion induced by optical forces. Therefore, the optical forces can induce the large-scale fluid convection, which supports accumulating the target particles to the focal spot.

Colloidal Quantum-Dots/Graphene/Silicon Dual-Channel Detection of Visible Light and Short-Wave Infrared
摘要： Integration of infrared detectors with current silicon-based imagers would not only extend their spectral sensing range but also enables numerous applications including thermal imaging, machine vision, and spectrometers. Here, we report the development of a dual-channel photodetector by depositing a colloidal quantum dot (CQDs) infrared photodiode onto a graphene/p-Silicon Schottky diode to provide simultaneous visible and infrared photoresponse channels. The HgTe photodiode is patterned into a semitransparent mesh-structure so that the visible light reaches the Silicon substrate with varying fill factors. The graphene/silicon Schottky junction has a responsivity of ~0.9 A/W in the visible and the infrared CQDs photodiode has a detectivity of ~5×109 Jones at 2.4μm, for a filling factor of 0.1.

Mid-Wavelength Infrared Responsivity of Colloidal Quantum Dot/Organic Hybrid Photodetectors
摘要： Colloidal quantum dot/organic hybrid materials approach offer a path toward engineering solution-processed photodetectors with extended spectral responsivity in the infrared. We demonstrate this approach in the technologically important thermal infrared region of mid-wavelength infrared, utilizing a solution blend of Ag2Se colloidal quantum dots and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). We report on the device fabrication and their room temperature optical, electrical, and optoelectronic properties. At room temperature, a responsivity of 0.2 mA/W was measured under 5 μm irradiation and 5 V bias. The new hybrid optoelectronic film demonstrated the advantage of cost-effectiveness and greater fabrication versatility than the single crystal or epitaxial semiconductors that comprise today’s infrared technologies.

Hybrid Ligand Exchange of Cu(In,Ga)S <sub/>2</sub> Nanoparticles for Carbon Impurity Removal in Solution Processed Photovoltaics
摘要： The solution processing of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 photovoltaics from colloidal nanoparticles has long suffered from deleterious carbonaceous residues originating from long chain native ligands. This impurity carbon has been observed to hinder grain formation during selenization and leave a discrete residue layer between the absorber layer and the back contact. In this work, organic and inorganic ligand exchanges were investigated to remove tightly bound native oleylamine ligands from Cu(In,Ga)S2 nanoparticles, thereby removing the source of carbon contamination. However, incomplete ligand removal, poor colloidal stability, and/or selective metal etching was observed for these methods. As such, an exhaustive hybrid organic/inorganic ligand exchange was developed to bypass the limitations of individual methods. A combination of microwave-assisted solvothermal pyridine ligand stripping followed by inorganic capping with diammonium sulfide was developed and yielded greater than 98% removal of native ligands via a rapid process. Despite the aggressive ligand removal, the nanoparticle stoichiometry remained largely unaffected when making use of the hybrid ligand exchange. Furthermore, highly stable colloidal ink formulations using non-toxic dimethyl sulfoxide were developed, supporting stable nanoparticle mass concentrations exceeding 200 mg/mL. Scalable blade coating of the ligand exchanged nanoparticle inks yielded remarkably smooth and microcrack free films with RMS roughness less than 7 nm. Selenization of ligand exchanged nanoparticle films afforded substantially improved grain growth as compared to conventional non-ligand exchanged methods yielding an absolute improvement in device efficiency of 2.8%. Hybrid ligand exchange nanoparticle based devices reached total-area power conversion efficiencies of 12.0%, demonstrating the feasibility and promise of ligand exchanged colloidal nanoparticles for the solution processing of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 photovoltaics.

Bare Silica Opals for Real-Time Humidity Sensing
摘要： The photonic properties of 3D colloidal crystals made of St?ber silica spheres are shown to significantly depend on the relative humidity of the environment. The photonic bandgap of bare artificial opals formed by hydrophilic silica markedly varies in humid air along the entire range of water vapor concentration without the need for infiltration of functionalization. The optical changes are highly sensitive to humidity variation (especially in low-humidity range) and very fast response times of 60 ms, mainly ascribed to the absence of intermediate processes, the favorable bandgap characteristics (high intensity and sharp edges) and the high air accessibility to the open opal voids. Contrary to common approaches for photonic crystal sensors—seeking visual detection via large spectral shifts but having important shortcomings,—it is demonstrated that the well-defined photonic bandgap of bare silica opals allows, even for moderate shifts, outstanding sensing performance by proper monitoring with inexpensive equipment (no spectroscopic detection is needed). As a result, the rapid and reproducible photonic response enables accurate, real-time retrieval of the ambient humidity. The economical, one-step fabrication, and the efficient performance make silica artificial opals suitable for a new type of precise, low-cost, and real-time humidity sensors.
