ABSTRACT

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are direct gap semiconductors with a unique potential for use in ultrathin light emitters. However, their photoluminescence (PL) is not completely understood. We develop an approach to compute the radiative recombination rate in monolayer TMDCs as a function of photon emission direction and polarization. Using exciton wavefunctions and energies obtained with the ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation, we obtain polar plots of the PL for different scenarios. Our results can explain the PL anisotropy and polarization dependence measured in recent experiments and predict that light is emitted with a peak intensity normal to the exciton dipole in monolayer TMDCs. We show that excitons emit light anisotropically upon recombination when they are in any quantum superposition state of the K and K' inequivalent valleys. When averaged over the emission angle and exciton momentum, our new treatment recovers the temperature-dependent radiative lifetimes that we previously derived. Our work demonstrates a generally applicable first-principles approach to studying anisotropic light emission in two-dimensional materials.

ABSTRACT

This paper calculates the potential energy curves of the 14 Λ-S and 49 Ω states, which come from the first three dissociation channels of the SiN- anion. These calculations are conducted using the valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction and the Davidson correction approach. Core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic corrections are taken into account. The potential energies are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The spin-orbit coupling is computed using the state interaction approach with the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. We found that the X¹Σ⁺ (υ'' = 0-23) and a³Σ⁺ (υ' = 0-2) states of SiN- are stable at the computed adiabatic electron affinity value of 23,262.27 cm-1 for SiN. Based on the calculated potential energy curves, the spectroscopic parameters and vibrational levels were determined for all stable and metastable Λ-S and Ω states. The computed adiabatic electron affinity of SiN and the spectroscopic constants of SiN- (X¹Σ⁺) are all in agreement with the available experimental data. The d³Σ⁺, 25Σ⁺, 15Δ, and 15Σ- quasi-bound states caused by avoided crossings were found. Calculations of the transition dipole moment of a³Σ⁺1 to X¹Σ⁺0+ are shown. Franck-Condon factors, Einstein coefficients, and radiative lifetimes of the transition from the a³Σ⁺1 (υ' = 0-2) to the X¹Σ⁺0+ state are evaluated.

ABSTRACT

Optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown tremendous promise over the past few years; however, there are still numerous challenges that need to be overcome to enable their application in devices. These include improving their poor photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) as well as better understanding of exciton-based recombination kinetics. Recently, we developed a chemical treatment technique using an organic superacid, bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (TFSI), which was shown to improve the quantum yield in MoS2 from less than 1% to over 95%. Here, we perform detailed steady-state and transient optical characterization on some of the most heavily studied direct bandgap 2D materials, specifically WS2, MoS2, WSe2, and MoSe2, over a large pump dynamic range to study the recombination mechanisms present in these materials. We then explore the effects of TFSI treatment on the PL QY and recombination kinetics for each case. Our results suggest that sulfur-based 2D materials are amenable to repair/passivation by TFSI, while the mechanism is thus far ineffective on selenium based systems. We also show that biexcitonic recombination is the dominant nonradiative pathway in these materials and that the kinetics for TFSI treated MoS2 and WS2 can be described using a simple two parameter model.

ABSTRACT

Light emission in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) changes significantly with the number of layers and stacking sequence. While the electronic structure and optical absorption are well understood in 2D-TMDs, much less is known about exciton dynamics and radiative recombination. Here, we show first-principles calculations of intrinsic exciton radiative lifetimes at low temperature (4 K) and room temperature (300 K) in TMD monolayers with the chemical formula MX2 (X = Mo, W, and X = S, Se), as well as in bilayer and bulk MoS2 and in two MX2 heterobilayers. Our results elucidate the time scale and microscopic origin of light emission in TMDs. We find radiative lifetimes of a few picoseconds at low temperature and a few nanoseconds at room temperature in the monolayers and slower radiative recombination in bulk and bilayer than in monolayer MoS2. The MoS2/WS2 and MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers exhibit very long-lived (∼20-30 ns at room temperature) interlayer excitons constituted by electrons localized on the Mo-based and holes on the W-based monolayer. The wide radiative lifetime tunability, together with the ability shown here to predict radiative lifetimes from computations, hold unique potential to manipulate excitons in TMDs and their heterostructures for application in optoelectronics and solar energy conversion.

ABSTRACT

With nanosecond radiative lifetimes, quenching dominates over enhancement for conventional fluorescence emitters near metal interfaces. We explore the fundamentally distinct behavior of photoluminescence (PL) with few-femtosecond radiative lifetimes of a coupled plasmonic emitter. Controlling the emitter-surface distance with subnanometer precision by combining atomic force and scanning tunneling distance control, we explore the unique behavior of plasmon dynamics at the transition from long-range classical resonant energy transfer to quantum coupling. Because of the ultrafast radiative plasmon emission, classical quenching is completely suppressed. Field-enhanced behavior dominates until the onset of quantum coupling dramatically reduces emission intensity and field enhancement, as verified in concomitant tip-enhanced Raman measurements. The entire distance behavior from tens of nanometers to subnanometers can be described using a phenomenological rate equation model and highlights the new degrees of freedom in radiation control enabled by an ultrafast radiative emitter near surfaces.

ABSTRACT

The electronic structure, including the spin-orbit coupling effect of the HfH molecule, has been studied to determine if it can be cooled through Doppler and Sysphus laser cooling techniques. The multi-reference configuration interaction plus Davidson correction (MRCI + Q) method has been used to calculate its potential energy curves (P.E.C.s) in the Ω(±) and 2s+1Ʌ(+/-) representation. The spectroscopic constants Te, Re, ωe, Be, αe, the dipole moment µe, and the dissociation energies De agree very well with previously published work. In addition, we present in this work twenty new doublet and quartet states in the Ω(±) representation. The electronic transition dipole moment curves (TDMCs) between the lowest-lying electronic states have been investigated for the Δ - Π, Π - ∑+ and Δ - Φ transitions among specific Ω(±) states. The Franck-Condon factors (FCFs), the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous emission [Formula: see text] , and the radiative lifetime τ have been computed for the investigated transitions. In addition, properties of the molecules' electronic and vibrational states, such as the static dipole moment curves (D.M.C.s), the ionic character fionic, and the rovibrational constants are calculated. We deduce from our results that the HfH molecule is indeed a laser-cooling candidate that can reach a temperature as low as the nK regime. We present a complementary scheme with suitable experimental parameters. These results can be of great interest to experimental spectroscopists interested in ultracold diatomic molecules and their applications.

ABSTRACT

For all states dissociating below the ionic limit Li(-) Rb(+) , we perform a diabatic study for (1) Σ(+) electronic states dissociating into Rb (5s, 5p, 4d, 6s, 6p, 5d, 7s, 4f) + Li (2s, 2p, 3s). Furthermore, we present the diabatic results for the 1-11 (3) σ, 1-8 (1,3) Π, and 1-4 (1,3) Δ states. The present calculations on the RbLi molecule are complementary to previous theoretical work on this system, including recently observed electronic states that had not been calculated previously. The calculations rely on ab-initio pseudopotential, core polarization potential operators for the core-valence correlation and full valence configuration interaction approaches, combined to an efficient diabatization procedure. For the low-lying states, diabatic potentials and permanent dipole moments are analyzed, revealing the strong imprint of the ionic state in the (1) Σ(+) adiabatic states. The transition dipole moment is used to evaluate the radiative lifetimes of the vibrational levels trapped in the 2 (1) Σ(+) excited states for the first time. In addition to the bound-bound contribution, the bound-free term has been evaluated using the Franck-Condon approximation and also exactly added to the total radiative lifetime.

ABSTRACT

Ultra-thin quantum wells, with their unique charge confinement effects, are essential in enhancing the electronic and optical properties crucial for optoelectronic device optimization. This study focuses on theoretical investigations into radiative recombination lifetimes in nanostructures, specifically addressing both intra-subband (ISB: e-e) and band-to-band (BTB: e-hh) transitions within InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs). Our research unveils that the radiative lifetimes in ISB and BTB transitions are significantly influenced by external excitation, particularly in thin-layered QWs with strong confinement effects. In the case of ISB transitions (e-e), the recombination lifetimes span a range from 0.1 to 4.7 ns, indicating relatively longer durations. On the other hand, BTB transitions (e-hh) exhibit quicker lifetimes, falling within the range of 0.01 to 1 ns, indicating comparatively faster recombination processes. However, it is crucial to note that the thickness of the quantum well layer exerts a substantial influence on the radiative lifetime, whereas the presence of impurities has a comparatively minor impact on these recombination lifetimes. This research advances our understanding of transition lifetimes in quantum well systems, promising enhancements across optoelectronic applications, including laser diodes and advanced technologies in detection, sensing, and telecommunications.

ABSTRACT

Two series of stable aqueous colloidal solutions of Nd3+: LaF3 single-phase well-crystallized nanoparticles (NPs), possessing a fluorcerite structure with different activator concentrations in each series, were synthesized. A hydrothermal method involving microwave-assisted heating (HTMW) in two Berghof speedwave devices equipped with one magnetron (type I) or two magnetrons (type II) was used. The average sizes of NPs are 15.4 ± 6 nm (type I) and 21 ± 7 nm (type II). Both types of NPs have a size distribution that is well described by a double Gaussian function. The fluorescence kinetics of the 4F3/2 level of the Nd3+ ion for NPs of both types, in contrast to a similar bulk crystal, demonstrates a luminescence quenching associated not only with Nd-Nd self-quenching, but also with an additional Nd-OH quenching. A method has been developed for determining the spontaneous radiative lifetime of the excited state of a dopant ion, with the significant contribution of the luminescence quenching caused by the presence of the impurity OH- acceptors located in the bulk of NPs. The relative quantum yield of fluorescence and the fluorescence brightness of an aqueous colloidal solution of type II NPs with an optimal concentration of Nd3+ are only 2.5 times lower than those of analogous Nd3+: LaF3 single crystals.

ABSTRACT

The potential energy curves and the transition dipole moments for seven electronic states of SrBr molecule are obtained via the multi-reference configuration interaction method and the all-electron basis sets. The Davidson and relativistic corrections are also included. Based on the obtained potential energy curves, the rotational and vibrational energy levels of each electronic state are determined by solving the nuclear motion equation of the molecule. The spectroscopic parameters are fitted from the obtained energy levels by using Dunham expression. Moreover, the spin-orbit coupling splits of the A2Π state are considered to construct the optical laser cooling scheme. The Frank-Condon factors, radiation lifetimes, radiation widths between the ground electronic state and 2Π1/2, 3/2/B2Σ+ states are calculated. Then, the feasibility of laser cooling is explored and the optical scheme is proposed. The results demonstrate that the SrBr molecule is a promising candidate for laser cooling.

ABSTRACT

The potential energy curves of 23 states of AlN radical are calculated to accurately determine the first several lowest-lying singlet and triplet states. The calculations are done using the CASSCF method, which is followed by the valence internally contracted MRCI approach. The rotationless radiative lifetimes of the vibrational levels are approximately 10-7-10-8 s for the C3Π, D3Π, and E3Δ states, 101-10-4 s for the A3Σ- state, and 10-4-10-5 s for the B3Σ+ state. The origins of the vibronic bands and the radiative lifetimes agree well with the available experimental and other theoretical results. The Einstein coefficients of many vibronic emissions are large for the C3Π-X3Π, C3Π-A3Σ-, D3Π-X3Π, D3Π-A3Σ-, and E3Δ-X3Π transitions and therefore, these transitions are strong. The emissions of the E3Δ-D3Π system are so weak that it is difficult to measure them through spectroscopy. The spectral distribution of the vibronic emissions is evaluated for the transitions of 12 pairs of states. In terms of the radiative lifetimes and transition probabilities obtained here, several spectroscopic routines for observing these states via spectroscopy are proposed.

ABSTRACT

The development of upconversion nanomaterials for many photonic applications requires a detailed understanding of their radiative lifetimes that in turn depend critically on local environmental conditions. In this work, hexagonal (ß-phase) sodium-yttrium-fluoride (NaYF4) nanowires (NWs) were synthesized and substitutionally co-doped with a luminescent solid solution of trivalent erbium and ytterbium ions. A single-beam laser trapping instrument was used in tandem with a piezo-controlled, variable-temperature stage to precisely vary the nanowire's distance from the substrate. The spontaneous photoluminescence lifetime of the 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 transition from Er3+ ions was observed to change by >60% depending on the ions' separation distance from a planar (water/glass) dielectric interface. The 4S3/2 state lifetime is observed to increase by a factor of 1.62 ± 0.01 as the distance from the quartz coverslip increases from ∼0 nm to ∼40 µm. Less significant changes in the luminescence lifetime (≤10%) were observed over a temperature range between 25 and 50 °C. The distance dependence of the lifetime is interpreted quantitatively in the context of classical electromagnetic coupling between Er3+ ions within the nanowire and the adjacent dielectric interface. We also demonstrate potential applications of the NaYF4 NWs for both controlling and probing temperatures at nanometer scales by integrating them within a poly(dimethylsiloxane) composite matrix.

ABSTRACT

In this paper we report on the optical properties of a series of InGaN polar quantum well structures where the number of wells was 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 and which were grown with the inclusion of an InGaN Si-doped underlayer. When the number of quantum wells is low then the room temperature internal quantum efficiency can be dominated by thermionic emission from the wells. This can occur because the radiative recombination rate in InGaN polar quantum wells can be low due to the built-in electric field across the quantum well which allows the thermionic emission process to compete effectively at room temperature limiting the internal quantum efficiency. In the structures that we discuss here, the radiative recombination rate is increased due to the effects of the Si-doped underlayer which reduces the electric field across the quantum wells. This results in the effect of thermionic emission being largely eliminated to such an extent that the internal quantum efficiency at room temperature is independent of the number of quantum wells.

ABSTRACT

This study calculates the potential energy curves of 12 Λ-S and 27â€¯Ω states, which belong to the first dissociation channel of SiC+ cation. The potential energy curves are computed with the complete active space self-consistent field method, which is followed by the valence internally multireference configuration interaction approach with the Davidson correction. The transition dipole moments are determined. Core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic correction, as well as extrapolation of the potential energies to the complete basis set limit are included. The spin-orbit coupling effect on the spectroscopic parameters and vibrational properties is evaluated. The vibrational band origins, Franck-Condon factors, and Einstein coefficients of spontaneous emissions are calculated. The rotationless radiative lifetimes of the vibrational levels are approximately 10-5 s long for the e2Π state. The partial radiative lifetimes of vibrational levels are approximately 10-7 s long for the 24Π and 24Σ- states, 10-5 to 10-6 s long for the 22Σ- state and the first well of the 14Π state, and very short for the second well of the 14Π state. Overall, the emissions are strong for the 22Σ--c2Σ-, 24Σ--X4Σ-, 24Π-X4Σ- transitions, and for the second well of the 14Π-14Σ+ transition. The spectral range of emissions is determined. In terms of the radiative lifetimes and transition probabilities obtained in this paper, some guidelines for detecting these states are proposed via spectroscopy. These results can be used to measure the emissions from the SiC+ cation, in particular, in interstellar clouds.

ABSTRACT

Quasi-two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs) possess fundamentally different excitonic properties from zero-dimensional quantum dots. We study lateral size-dependent photon emission statistics and carrier dynamics of individual NPLs using second-order photon correlation (g(2)(τ)) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) intensity-dependent lifetime analysis. Room-temperature radiative lifetimes of NPLs can be derived from maximum PL intensity periods in PL time traces. It first decreases with NPL lateral size and then stays constant, deviating from the electric dipole approximation. Analysis of the PL time traces further reveals that the single exciton quantum yield in NPLs decreases with NPL lateral size and increases with protecting shell thickness, indicating the importance of surface passivation on NPL emission quality. Second-order photon correlation (g(2)(τ)) studies of single NPLs show that the biexciton quantum yield is strongly dependent on the lateral size and single exciton quantum yield of the NPLs. In large NPLs with unity single exciton quantum yield, the corresponding biexciton quantum yield can reach unity. These findings reveal that by careful growth control and core-shell material engineering, NPLs can be of great potential for light amplification and integrated quantum photonic applications.

ABSTRACT

One of the major challenges facing the rapidly growing field of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is the development of growth techniques to enable large-area synthesis of high-quality materials. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the leading techniques for the synthesis of TMDCs; however, the quality of the material produced is limited by defects formed during the growth process. A very useful nondestructive technique that can be utilized to probe defects in semiconductors is the room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY). It was recently demonstrated that a PL QY near 100% can be obtained in MoS2 and WS2 monolayers prepared by micromechanical exfoliation by treating samples with an organic superacid: bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (TFSI). Here we have performed a thorough exploration of this chemical treatment on CVD-grown MoS2 samples. We find that the as-grown monolayers must be transferred to a secondary substrate, which releases strain, to obtain high QY by TFSI treatment. Furthermore, we find that the sulfur precursor temperature during synthesis of the MoS2 plays a critical role in the effectiveness of the treatment. By satisfying the aforementioned conditions we show that the PL QY of CVD-grown monolayers can be improved from ∼0.1% in the as-grown case to ∼30% after treatment, with enhancement factors ranging from 100 to 1500× depending on the initial monolayer quality. We also found that after TFSI treatment the PL emission from MoS2 films was visible by eye despite the low absorption (5-10%). The discovery of an effective passivation strategy will speed the development of scalable high-performance optoelectronic and electronic devices based on MoS2.

ABSTRACT

The spectroscopic properties are in detail studied for the 1(1)Σ(-), 2(1)Σ(-), b(1)Σ(+), c(1)Π, 2(1)Π, 3(1)Π, a(1)Δ, 2(1)Δ, X(3)Σ(-), C(3)Σ(-), 3(3)Σ(-), 1(3)Σ(+), A(3)Π, B(3)Π, 3(3)Π, 1(3)Δ, 2(3)Δ, 1(5)Σ(-) and 1(5)Π states, which are yielded from the first two dissociation limits, P((4)Su)+Cl((2)Pu) and P((2)Du)+Cl((2)Pu), of the PCl radical. Of the nineteen states, the 3(3)Σ(-), 1(3)Σ(+), 1(3)Δ, 2(3)Δ and 1(5)Π states are the repulsive ones. The 2(1)Σ(-), 2(1)Δ and 1(5)Σ(-) states and the second well of A(3)Π state are very weakly-bound ones. The A(3)Π and B(3)Π states, the B(3)Π and 3(3)Π states, and the 2(1)Π and 3(1)Π states have the avoided crossings. The A(3)Π state is found to possess the double well. The potential energy curves (PECs) are calculated with the CASSCF method followed by the internally contracted MRCI approach with Davidson correction together with the Dunning's correlation-consistent basis sets, aug-cc-pV6Z. To improve the quality of PECs, core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic correction calculations are included simultaneously. The PECs are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The vibrational properties are evaluated for several weakly-bound states. The spectroscopic parameters are determined, and compared with those available in the literature. The Franck-Condon factors and radiative lifetimes of the transitions from the A(3)Π, B(3)Π and 3(3)Π states to the X(3)Σ(-) state and from the c(1)Π, 2(1)Π and 3(1)Π states to the a(1)Δ state are calculated for several low vibrational states. And some necessary discussion is performed. Analyses demonstrate that the spectroscopic properties of PCl radical reported in this paper can be expected to be reliably predicted ones.

ABSTRACT

The UV-Vis-NIR absorption studies of the Er(3+)/Er(3+)-Yb(3+) doped/codoped TeO2-ZnO (TZO) glasses fabricated by the melting and quenching method has been performed. The spectroscopic radiative parameters viz. radiative transition probabilities, branching ratios and lifetimes have been determined from the absorption spectrum by using Judd-Ofelt theory. The near infrared (NIR) to visible frequency upconversion (UC) have been monitored by using an excitation of 976 nm wavelength radiation from a CW diode laser. The effect of codoping with Yb(3+) ions on the intensity of the UC emission bands from the Er(3+) ions throughout visible region has been studied. The mechanism responsible for the observed upconversion emissions in the prepared samples have been explained on the basis of excited state absorption and efficient energy transfer processes.

ABSTRACT

The spectroscopic properties of 23 Ω states generated from the 13 Λ-S states of BO radical are studied for the first time for internuclear separations from about 0.07 to 1.0nm. Of the 13 Λ-S states, each of the F(2)Π, 1(2)Φ and 1(2)Δ states is found to possess the double well. Each of the 1(4)Π, C(2)Π, 1(2)Σ(-) and 2(2)Σ(-) states possesses one well with one barrier. The A(2)Π, 1(4)Π and F(2)Π are the inverted states with the spin-orbit coupling effect taken into account. All the states possess the deep well except for the 1(2)Φ. The potential energy curves (PECs) are calculated by the complete active space self-consistent field method, which is followed by the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction approach with the Davidson correction. Core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic corrections are included into the calculations. The PECs are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The spin-orbit coupling effect is accounted for by the state interaction approach with the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. The spectroscopic parameters are evaluated, and compared with the available measurements and other theoretical results. The Franck-Condon factors and radiative lifetimes of the transitions from the B(2)Σ(+), C(2)Π, D(2)Σ(+), 1(2)Σ(-) and 1(4)Π Λ-S states to the ground state are calculated for several low vibrational levels, and some necessary discussion is made. Analyses show that the spectroscopic parameters reported in this paper can be expected to be reliably predicted ones.

ABSTRACT

The potential energy curves of the low-lying electronic states of Hydrogen fluoride (HF) have been investigated by using multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) approach in combination with cc-pV5Z basis sets for H and aug-cc-pV6Z basis sets for F. Three singlet states (X(1)Σ(+),B(1)Σ(+), 1(1)Δ), two triplet valence states ((3)ΠV,(3)ΣV(+)) and five triplet Rydberg states ((3)ΣR1(+),(3)ΠR1,(3)ΔR1,(3)ΣR1(-),(3)ΠR2) of HF molecular are identified. (3)ΠV and (3)ΣV(+) states are repulsive, the spectroscopic parameters (De, Re, ωe, Be and Te) of the bound states are derived in the present work. We find that the order of energy levels of (3)ΣR1(+),(3)ΠR1,(3)ΔR1 electronic states is different with other literatures, (3)ΣR1(+) is the lowest in these three states, which undergoes a strongly avoided crossing with the valence state (3)ΣV(+). The (3)ΣR1(-) state is studied at the first time. In addition, the dipole moments (DM), transition dipole moments (TDM), Einstein coefficients (Av'v'') , Franck-Condon factors (qv'v'') and radiative lifetime (τv') for B(1)Σ(+)-X(1)Σ(+) systems are predicted.
