Twisted Phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole Derivatives as Non-doped Emitters for Efficient Electroluminescent Devices with Ultra-Deep Blue Emission and High Exciton Utilization Efficiency

Herein, two deep-blue emissive molecules ( SAF-PI and SAF-DPI ) are designed and synthesized using spiro[acridine-9,9’-fluorene] as a donor (D) substituted with 2-(3-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole as an acceptor (A), forming twisted D−A and A−D−A structures, respectively. The photophysical studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that both molecules exhibit hybridized local excited and charge transfer (HLCT) characteristics with deep blue emission color. They are effectively applied as non-doped emitters in OLEDs. Particularly, SAF-PI -based device achieves the high-definition television (HDTV) standard blue color emission peaked at 428 nm with CIE coordinate of (0.156, 0.053), a narrow full width at half maximum of 55 nm, a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE_max) of 4.57% and an exciton utilization efficiency of 65%.     

Enhanced Static Modulated Fourier Transform Spectrometer for Fast Approximation in Field Application

We discuss the data sampling frequency, the spectral resolution, and the limit for non-aliasing in the static modulated Fourier transform spectrometer based on a modified Sagnac interferometer. The measurement was performed in a very short 4 ms, which is applicable for real time field operation. The improved spectrometer characteristics were used to investigate the spectral properties of an InGaAs light emitting diode. In addition, The measured spectral peak was shifted from 6420 cm⁻¹ to 6365 cm⁻¹, as the temperature increased from 25 °C to 40 °C, when the operating current is fixed to be 0.55 A. As the applied current increased from 0.30 A to 0.55 A at room temperature, the spectral width was broadened from 316 cm⁻¹ to 384 cm⁻¹. Compared to the conventional Fourier transform spectrometer, the measured spectral width by the static modulated Fourier transform spectrometer showed a deviation less than 10%, and the spectral peak shift according to the temperature rise showed a difference within 2%.     

Harvesting vibrations via 3D phononic isolators

We report on the existence of unidirectional phononic band gaps that may span over extended regions of the Brillouin zone and can find application in trapping elastic (acoustic) waves in properly designed multilayered 3D structures. Phononic isolators operate as a result of asymmetrical wave transmission through a slab of a crystallographic phononic structure with broken mirror symmetry. Due to the use of lossless materials in the crystal, the absorption rate is dramatically enhanced when the proposed isolator is placed next to a vibrational harvesting cell.

单一基质白光荧光粉Na3Sc2(PO4)3∶Tm3+,Dy3+的合成及发光性质

采用高温固相法成功制备了Na₃Sc_2-x-y(PO₄)₃∶xTm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉,利用X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜和荧光光谱仪对荧光粉进行了物相、形貌和发光性能进行了表征。 在Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉中,物质的量分数6%的Tm³⁺和6%的Dy³⁺在360 nm激发下呈现出白光发射,其发射光谱在460~685 nm范围内存在Tm³⁺位于457 nm的特征发射峰,对应于Tm³⁺的³H₆→¹D₂跃迁,以及Dy³⁺位于483、577和672 nm处的3个特征发射峰,分别对应于Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2、⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2和⁴F_9/2→⁶H_11/2的跃迁。 观测到Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺荧光粉的发射光谱与Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Dy³⁺的激发光谱有较好的重叠,且Tm³⁺的荧光寿命随Dy³⁺浓度的增加逐渐降低,因此在Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺荧光粉中存在Tm³⁺向Dy³⁺的能量传递。 利用Dexter和Reisfeld近似分析了能量转移机制,发现从Tm³⁺到Dy³⁺的能量传递临界距离为1.6 nm,能量传递过程是通过偶极-偶极相互作用进行的。 Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,0.06Dy³⁺荧光粉具有较好的耐受热猝灭性能,在423、473和523 K时的发射强度分别为298 K时发射强度的97.6%、89.2%和78.6%。 随着Dy³⁺浓度的增加,Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉的发光颜色由蓝色转变为白色,再由白色变黄色。 Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺荧光粉作为一种可调色或单相白光荧光粉在发光二极管上具有潜在的应用前景。

Quinoline-based aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence materials for highly efficient non-doped organic light-emitting diodes

Three new emitters,namely 10,10'-(quinoline-2,8-diyl)bis(10 H-phenoxazine)(Fene),10,10'-(quinoline-2,8-diyl)bis(10 H-phenothiazine)(Fens) and 10,10'-(quinoline-2,8-diyl)bis(9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine)(Yad),featuring quinoline as a new electron acceptor have been designed and conveniently synthesized.These emitters possessed small singlet-triplet splitting energy(ΔEst) and twisted structures,which not only endowed them show thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)properties but also afforded a remarkable aggregation-induced emission(AIE) feature.Moreover,they also showed aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence(AIDF) property and good photoluminescence(PL) property,which are the ideal emitters for non-doped organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).Furthermore,high-performance non-doped OLEDs based on Fene,Fens and Yad were achieved,and excelle nt maximum external quantum efficiencies(EQE_(max)) of 14,9%,13.1% and 17,4%,respectively,were obtained.It was also found that all devices exhibited relatively low turn-on voltages ranging from 3.0 V to3.2 V probably due to their twisted conformation and the AIDF properties.These results demonstrated the quinoline-based emitters could have a promising application in non-doped OLEDs.     

In-plane ESPI using an achromatic interferometer with low-coherence laser source

The use of an achromatic interferometer is explored as a means of doing in-plane ESPI measurements using a laser diode as the light source. This interferometer type, which uses a diffraction grating in place of the conventional beamsplitter, has two features that make it suitable for making ESPI measurements over extended areas, even when using a low-coherence laser diode source. First, the parallelogram optical geometry of the interferometer causes all rays passing through to have the same optical path lengths. Second, the interferometer is achromatic, whereby the piezo-actuated mirror that steps the illumination light does so by the same phase angle, independent of wavelength. This latter feature accommodates the spectral impurity of a laser diode source. A periodic variation of fringe visibility is observed in experiments, where narrow ranges of high visibility occur at regular spatial intervals. This behavior derives from the clustered discrete spectral character of laser diode light output. A method to “tune” the interferometer by slightly rotating the diffraction grating is described so as to achieve consistent high fringe visibility throughout the measured images.
