Ultrafast photoexcitation dynamics behavior of hydrogen-bonded polyfluorenol

Exciton behavior is crucial to the exploitation of light-emitting conjugated polymer(LCPs)for optoelectronic devices.Singlet excitons are easily trapped by the intrinsically defect structures.Herein,we set a polyfluorenol(PPFOH)as an example to systematically investigate its photophysical behavior to check the role of defect structures in LCPs.According to time-resolved photoluminescence analysis,the feature emission peaks from individual chain of PPFOH in diluted DMF solution is effectively avoided the influence of fluorenone formation,but the residual green-band emission at 550nm is easily observed in the PL spectra of PPFOH dilute toluene solution obtained delay 1.5 ns,confirmed the formation of“guest”physical aggregation-induced defect structure.Remarkably,efficient and ultrafast energy transfer from individual chain to defect structure is observed in PPFOH films.Interestingly,the efficient energy transfer happened for the film obtained from DMF solution(200 ps)than those of toluene ones(600 ps).Meanwhile,compared to relatively stable green-band emission in PPFOH film from toluene solution,red-shifted emission peak(11 nm)of PPFOH film from DMF solutions exposed to saturated DNT vapor also confirmed their different aggregation-induced green-band emission.Therefore,this aggregation defect structures are influenced on the photophysical property of LCPs in solid states.

Study of Inner-Shell Excitation and Relaxation Processes in Atomic and Ionic Neon by Means of Soft X-Ray Spectroscopy

By using soft X-ray spectroscopy, we investigate the inner-shell excitation and relaxation processes in atomic and ionic neon targets. Resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy was applied to neutral neon atom in the regions of the [1s]np （n = 3, 4,…, ε） excited states and [1s2p]3pmp （m = 3,4） doubly excited states to obtain the spectroscopic information on the [2p]np and [2p^2]3prnp final electronic states, where square brackets indicate hole states. The energy levels of the [2p^2]3prnp （m = 3,4） electronic states were spectroscopically measured for the first time. As for the ionic neon target, on the other hand, the photoion yield spectroscopy was adopted to survey the 1s→ np （n = 2, 3） resonant excitation and subsequent Auger decay processes for Ne^＋ target-ions. The observed Ne^2＋ photoion yield spectrum is successflllly explained by the theoretical calculations based on the nmlticonfiguration Dirac-Fock method

Influence of charge transport layer on the crystallinity and charge extraction of pure tin-based halide perovskite film

As one of the most compelling photovoltaic devices, halide perovskite (PVK) solar cells have achieved a new surprising record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.8%in 2021 [1]. This demonstrates the great potential of halide PVK solar cells as a highly competitive substitute to replace silicon-based solar cells in the photovoltaic market [2–6].

INTRA-ION PAIR ELECTRON TRANSFER OF PHOTOEXCITED METHYLENE BLUE BORATE

The photochemical reaction of methylene blue (n-butyltriphenyl) borate, MBRBPh3 was examined. The ultrafast quenching rate and large negative value of Delta G indicated that the intra-ion pair ET plays an important role in photoreaction of MBRBPh3. The sequent boron- carbon bond cleavage of butyltriphenylboranyl radical intermediate was found by GC-MS and photo-CIDNP studies.

Study of white light emission from ZnS/PS composite system

ZnS films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition （PLD） on porous silicon （PS） substrates formed by electrochemical anodization of p-type （100） silicon wafer. The photoluminescence （PL） spectra of ZnS/PS composites were measured at room temperature. Under different excitation wavelengths, the relative integrated intensities of the red light emission from PS layers and the blue-green emission from ZnS films had different values. After samples were annealed in vacuum at different temperatures （200, 300, and 400 ~C） for 30 min respectively, a new green emission located at around 550 nm appeared in the PL spectra of all ZnS/PS samples, and all of the ZnS/PS composites had a broad PL band （450 - 700 nm） in the visible region, exhibiting intensively white light emission.

Direct observation of the ultrafast energy transfer in a porphyrin and ruthenium dyad

The luminescence dynamics of a polypyridyl ruthenium II [Ru（phen）2（ip）]2＋ and 5,10,15,20- tetraphenylporphyrin （H2TPP） dyad have been measured by using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The transient luminescent spectra of the dyad show an ultrafast energy transfer within 300 ps after pho- toexcitation of the [Ru（phen）2（ip）]2＋ at 453 am. However, no energy transfer has been observed as the excitation wavelength is 400 nm, corresponding to the absorption peak of H2TPP. The origin of the energy transfer from [Ru（phen）2（ip）]2＋ to H2TPP has been analyzed according to the FSrster energy-transfer theory.

Layer-dependent photoexcited carrier dynamics of WS_(2) observed using single pulse pump probe method

Understanding the ultrafast carrier dynamics and the mechanism of two-dimensional(2D)transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)is key to their applications in the field of optoelectronic devices.In this work,a single pulse pump probe method is introduced to detect the layer-dependent ultrafast carrier dynamics of monolayer and few-layer WS_(2) excited by a femtosecond pulse.Results show that the ultrafast carrier dynamics of the layered WS_(2) films can be divided into three stages:the fast photoexcitation phase with the characteristic time of 2–4 ps,the fast decay phase with the characteristic time of 4–20 ps,and the slow decay phase lasting several hundred picoseconds.Moreover,the layer dependency of the characteristic time of each stage has been observed,and the corresponding mechanism of free carrier dynamics has been discussed.It has been observed as well that the monolayer WS_(2) exhibits a unique rising time of carriers after photoexcitation.The proposed method can be expected to be an effective approach for studying the dynamics of the photoexcited carriers in 2D TMDs.Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the photoexcited carrier dynamics of layered WS_(2),which is essential for its application in optoelectronics and photovoltaic devices.
