Blade-coated perovskite nanoplatelet polymer composites for sky-blue light-emitting diodes.

Colloidal perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have shown promise in tackling blue light-emitting diode challenges based on their tunable band gap and high photoluminescence efficiencies. However, high quality and large area dense NPL films have been proven to be very hard to prepare because of their chemical and physical fragility during the liquid phase deposition. Herein, we report a perovskite-polymer composite film deposition strategy with fine morphology engineering obtained using the blade coating method.

High-precision intensity-selective observation of multiphoton ionization: a new method of photoelectron spectroscopy.

We have developed a novel method of time-of-f light (TOF) photoelectron spectroscopy that permits observation of multiphoton ionizations with extremely high precision, especially for low-probability events. By scanning the laser-produced ionization region across a pinhole we can select specific laser peak intensities. The volumes occupied by low intensities rise rapidly compared with traditional straight TOF spectroscopy, resulting in high signal gains.
