In situ characterization of optoelectronic nanostructures and nanodevices

One-dimensional (1-D) semiconductor nanostructures can effectively transport electrons and photons, and are considered to be promising building blocks for future optoelectronic nanodevices. In this review, we present our recent efforts to integrate optical techniques and in situ electron microscopy for comprehensively characterizing individual 1-D optoelectronic nanostructures and nanodevices. The technical strategies and their applications in “green” emission and optical confinement in 1-D ZnO nanostructures will be introduced. We also show in situ assembly and characterization of nanostructures for optoelectronic device purposes. Using these examples, we demonstrate that the combination of optical techniques and in situ electron microscopy can be powerful for the studies of optoelectronic nanomaterials and nanodevices.

过渡金属硫化物因能带结构与层数具有明显的依赖关系而受到广泛关注,尤其是二维二硫化钼（MoS₂）薄膜因其优良的光电性能而成为研究热点。目前,化学气相沉积法（CVD）和剥离法已成为制备MoS₂薄膜的主要方法,但这两种方法均存在难以精确控制MoS₂层数的问题,研究证实通过刻蚀手段能够对MoS₂薄膜层数进行进一步加工,从而得到单层或特定层数的样品。本文综述了基于不同刻蚀原理的MoS₂薄膜刻蚀技术的国内外研究进展,分析讨论了不同刻蚀技术对刻蚀后MoS₂薄膜质量的影响,介绍了MoS₂刻蚀方法在场效应晶体管（FET）以及其他光电器件领域的实际应用和发展前景,最后对将来研究中需要着力解决的问题进行了展望。     

Intramolecular Phosphacyclization: Polyaromatic Phosphonium P-Heterocycles with Wide-Tuning Optical Properties

Rationally designed cationic phospha-polyaromatic fluorophores were prepared through intramolecular cyclization of the tertiary ortho-(acene)phenylene-phosphines mediated by Cu^II triflate. As a result of phosphorus quaternization, heterocyclic phosphonium salts 1 c – 3 c , derived from naphthalene, phenanthrene, and anthracene cores, exhibited very intense blue to green fluorescence (Φ_em=0.38–0.99) and high photostability in aqueous medium. The structure–emission relationship was further investigated by tailoring the electron-donating functions to the anthracene moiety to give dyes 4 c – 6 c with charge-transfer character. The latter significantly decreases the emission energy to reach near-IR region. Thus, the intramolecular phosphacyclization renders an ultra-wide tuning of fluorescence from 420 nm ( 1 c ) to 780 nm ( 6 c ) in solution, extended to 825 nm for 6 c in the solid state with quantum efficiency of approximately 0.07. The physical behavior of these new dyes was studied spectroscopically, crystallographically, and electrochemically, whereas computational analysis was used to correlate the experimental data with molecular electronic structures. The excellent stability, water solubility, and attractive photophysical characteristics make these phosphonium heterocycles powerful tools in cell imaging.     

Real‐Time Operation of Photovoltaic Optoelectronic Tweezers: New Strategies for Massive Nano‐object Manipulation and Reconfigurable Patterning

Optical and optoelectronic techniques for micro‐ and nano‐object manipulation are becoming essential tools in nano‐ and biotechnology. Among optoelectronic manipulation platforms, photovoltaic optoelectronic tweezers (PVOTs) are an emergent technique that are particularly successful at producing permanent nanoparticle microstructures. New strategies to enhance the capabilities of PVOT, based on real‐time operation, are investigated. This optoelectronic platform uses z‐cut LiNbO₃:Fe substrates under excitation by a Gaussian light beam. Unexpected results show that during illumination, metallic particles previously deposited on the substrate are ejected from the light spot region. This behavior differs from the trapping phenomenon observed in previous work on PVOT operation, using a sequential method in which illumination is prior to particle manipulation. To discuss the results, a novel mechanism of charge exchange between particles and the ferroelectric substrate is proposed. Applications of this repulsion behavior are investigated. On the one hand, either particle repulsion or trapping in the illuminated region can be obtained by simply light switching on/off. On the other hand, by moving the light spot, different kinds of arbitrarily shaped tracks along the light path, either empty or filled with particles, are obtained. The results demonstrate new key capabilities of PVOT, such as pattern drawing, erasure, and reconfiguration.     

Exploring the effect of different coumarin donors on the optical and photovoltaic properties of azo-bridged push-pull systems: A theoretical approach

We report the theoretical modeling of various azo-bridged coumarin-purpurin systems. The effect of varying the donor (coumarin) part of this D-π-D-π-A system was analyzed in terms of opto-electronic and photovoltaic parameters such as HOMO, LUMO, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, λ_max, light harvesting efficiency, charge injection efficiency, open voltage, reorganization energy by employing density functional theory as incorporated in Gaussian 03 set of codes. The dye-TiO₂ adsorbed systems were also studied using the same level of theory. It was found that just by varying the donor, although of same nature, there is a marked effect on the efficiency parameters of the dye sensitized solar cells based on such dyes. Also, the dye molecules were found to be good sensitizers for TiO₂ semiconductors.
