Highly efficient blue InGaN nanoscale light-emitting diodes.

Indium gallium nitride (InGaN)-based micro-LEDs (μLEDs) are suitable for meeting ever-increasing demands for high-performance displays owing to their high efficiency, brightness and stability. However, μLEDs have a large problem in that the external quantum efficiency (EQE) decreases with the size reduction. Here we demonstrate a blue InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) nanorod-LED (nLED) with high EQE.

Intrinsic lifetimes of the Soret bands of the free-base tetraphenylporphine (H(2)TPP) and Cu(ii)TPP in the condensed phase.

Soret band lifetimes of the free-base tetraphenylporphine (H(2)TPP) and Cu(ii) tetraphenylporphine (Cu(II)TPP) at 408 nm have been directly measured with femtosecond (fs) resolution using the fluorescence-upconversion technique for the first time, giving tau = 68 +/- 15 and 63 +/- 15 fs, respectively, in benzene solvent.

Direct observation of the primary and secondary C-Br bond cleavages from the 1,2-dibromopropane photodissociation at 234 and 265 nm using the velocity map ion imaging technique.

Photodissociation dynamics of 1,2-dibromopropane has been investigated at 234 and 265 nm by using the velocity map ion imaging method. At both pump energies, a single Gaussian-shaped speed distribution is observed for the Br*((2)P(1/2)) fragment, whereas at least three velocity components are found to be existent for the Br((2)P(3/2)) product. The secondary C-Br bond cleavage of the bromopropyl radical which is energized from the ultrafast primary C-Br bond rupture should be responsible for the multicomponent translational energy distribution at the low kinetic energy region of Br((2)P(3/2)).
