ABSTRACT
Semiconductor nanomaterials with efficient polarized-light control in the blue region of the visible spectrum are promising candidates for modern and future photo-information technology, display devices, and optical sensing applications. New-type semiconductor Eu(OCN)2 nanocrystals with circularly polarized absorption (CD circular dichroism) and emission (CPL circularly polarized luminescence) under an applied magnetic field are demonstrated here for the first time. The effective CD signal at 1.6â
T was observed at approximately 440â
nm. The dissymmetry factor of CPL under 100â
K, gM-CPL, was estimated to be 0.01. These characteristic circularly polarized absorption and emission phenomena of Eu(OCN)2 nanocrystals should be caused by combination between the "Faraday A and C terms" of the magnetic moment in the excited state. Polarized-light control using Eu(OCN)2 nanocrystals in the blue-light region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a large first step into a new world of photo-functional semiconductor nanomaterials.
