Efficient Visible-Light-Activated Ultra-Long Room-Temperature Phosphorescence Triggered by Multi-Esterification

The development of ultra-long room-temperature phosphorescence (UL-RTP) in processable amorphous organic materials is highly desirable for applications in flexible displays, anti-counterfeiting, and bio-imaging. However, achieving efficient UL-RTP from amorphous materials remains a challenging task, especially with activation by visible light and a bright afterglow. Here we report a general and rational molecular-design strategy to enable efficient visible-light-excited UL-RTP by multi-esterification of a rigid large-plane phosphorescence core. Notably, multi-esterification minimizes the aggregation-induced quenching and accomplishes a ′four birds with one stone′ possibility in the generation and radiation process of UL-RTP: i) shifting the excitation from ultraviolet light to blue-light through enhancing the transition dipole moment of low-lying singlet-states, ii) facilitating the intersystem crossing process through the incorporation of lone-pair electrons, iii) boosting the decay process of long-lived triplet excitons resulting from a significantly increased transition dipole moment, and iv) reducing the intrinsic triplet nonradiative decay by substitution of high-frequency vibrating hydrogen atoms. All these factors synergistically contribute to the most efficient and stable visible-light-stimulated UL-RTP (lifetime up to 2.01 s and efficiency up to 35.4 % upon excitation at 450 nm) in flexible films using multi-esterified coronene, which allows high-tech applications in single-component time-delayed white light-emitting diodes and information technology based on flashlight-activated afterglow encryption.

Optical pulse shaper with integrated slab waveguide for arbitrary waveform generation using optical gradient force

Integrated optical pulse shaper opens up possibilities for realizing the ultra high-speed and ultra wide-band linear signal processing with compact size and low power consumption. We propose a silicon monolithic integrated optical pulse shaper using optical gradient force, which is based on the eight-path finite impulse response. A cantilever structure is fabricated in one arm of the Mach–Zehnder interferometer（MZI） to act as an amplitude modulator. The phase shift feature of waveguide is analyzed with the optical pump power, and five typical waveforms are demonstrated with the manipulation of optical force. Unlike other pulse shaper schemes based on thermo–optic effect or electro–optic effect, our scheme is based on a new degree of freedom manipulation, i.e., optical force, so no microelectrodes are required on the silicon chip,which can reduce the complexity of fabrication. Besides, the chip structure is suitable for commercial silicon on an insulator（SOI） wafer, which has a top silicon layer of about 220 nm in thickness.     

Optical time-resolved study of the excitation dynamics*

Transient behaviour of the excited states originated from the neutral and the charged species is discussed using data from time-resolved experiments. Complex transient characteristics obtained for the slightly charged poly-(bithiophene) film during electrochemical doping were explained in terms of sequential molar fraction changes of the neutral species, the radical cation and the π-dimerized radical cations. Femtosecond transient absorption measurement carried out in time range of 0-4 ns for a two-photon excited dye reveals a multi-exponent decay with well separated relaxation times and the distinct relaxation mechanisms. At high irradiance and a sufficient fluence, the multi-photon excitation processes affect the subpicosecond response and lead to formation of the photo-products.     

盐/甲醇体系荧光光谱的分析和指认

研究了CaCl2、LiCl和Ca(NO3)2在甲醇溶液中的荧光光谱,并对溶液中可能的团簇构型采用密度泛函理论和含时(TD)密度泛函理论中的B3LYP方法进行结构优化和激发能计算.实验结果表明CaCl2和LiCl与甲醇形成了具有荧光性质的簇合物,且随着CaCl2和LiCl浓度的增加溶液的荧光强度整体呈增强趋势,而Ca(NO3)2与甲醇相互作用使甲醇发生荧光猝灭.理论计算得到盐/甲醇溶液中可能存在多种簇合物,但能使甲醇溶液荧光增强的团簇构型主要为[CaCl(CH3OH)n]+和LiCl(CH3OH)n,而NO3-与甲醇通过氢键作用形成簇合物的振荡强度几乎为零,解释了NO3-使甲醇发生荧光猝灭的现象.     

线性响应和两种态特定方法模拟AF350电子跃迁的溶剂效应

在极化连续模型框架下比较了线性响应与两种不同态特定方法计算的溶液中Alexa Fluor 350(AF350)分子激发能和光谱移动值的差异. AF350的第一激发态S0→S1电子跃迁属于π→π^*跃迁, 主要对应于最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)到最低空轨道(LUMO)的跃迁. 该分子激发态偶极矩大于基态偶极矩, 激发态时溶质溶剂相互作用比基态时更强, 随着溶剂极性增大, 会发生光谱红移的现象. 与实验值相比, 线性响应和两种态特定方法均高估了激发能, 其中以IBSF(Improta-Barone-Scalmani-Frisch)方法得到的激发能最小, 矫正的基态反应场方法(cGSRF)得到的激发能最大. 对于光谱移动值, 3种方法与实验值相比都偏小, 线性响应方法(LR)计算出的误差最大, 而IBSF方法得到的结果与实验值最吻合, 是预测溶液中AF350分子激发能和光谱移动值最准确的方法. 对比了Marcus传统理论和基于约束平衡的非平衡溶剂化理论的结果, 发现后者得到的激发能和光谱移动值更接近于实验值.
