Article Abstract
The in situ characterization on the individuals offers an effective way to explore the dynamic behaviors and underlying physics of materials at the nanoscale, and this is of benefit for actual applications. In the field of vacuum micro-nano electronics, the existing in situ techniques can obtain the material information such as structure, morphology and composition in the process of electron emission driven by a single source of excitation. However, the relevant process and mechanism become more complicated when two or more excitation sources are commonly acted on the emitters. In this paper, we present an in situ nano characterization technique to trigger and record the electron emission behavior under the photo-electric-common-excitation multiple physical fields. Specifically, we probed into the in situ electron emission from an individual vertical few-layer graphene (vFLG) emitter under a laser-plus-electrostatic driving field. Electrons were driven out from the vFLG's emission edge, operated in situ under an external electrostatic field coupled with a 785 nm continuous-wave laser-triggered optical field. The incident light has been demonstrated to significantly improve the electron emission properties of graphene, which were recorded as an obvious decrease of the turn-on voltage, a higher emission current by factor of 35, as well as a photo-response on-off ratio as high as 5. More importantly, during their actual electron emission process, a series of in situ characterizations such as SEM observation and Raman spectra were used to study the structure, composition and even real-time Raman frequency changes of the emitters. These information can further reveal the key factors for the electron emission properties, such as field enhancement, work function and real-time surface temperature. Thereafter, the emission mechanism of vFLG in this study has been semi-quantitatively demonstrated to be the two concurrent processes of photon-assisted thermal enhanced field emission and photo field emission.

Charge generation layers (CGLs) play crucial roles in determining the electroluminescence (EL) performance of tandem organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, acquiring negligible voltage drops across the CGL unit and high-efficiency multiplications remains challenging. Here, we propose barrier-free strategies to compose a high-performance p-i-n type CGL intermediate by introducing a Yb/HI-9 modification at the heterojunction and a novel n-dopant, Yb:1,3-bis(9-phenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)benzene (mdPPhen), as the n-CGL.

The classical electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagent Ru(bpy) was first doped into CdSe QDs to prepare novel dual-potential color-resolved luminophore Ru-CdSe QDs. Ru-CdSe QDs emitted a strong red ECL signal at a positive potential with coreactant TPrA and a strong green ECL signal at a negative potential with coreactant KSO. As a proof-of-concept application, this work introduced Ru-CdSe QDs into a dual-channel closed bipolar electrode (CBPE) system to construct an ECL biosensor for simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) and kanamycin (KAN).

High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a nonlinear process in which a material sample is irradiated by intense laser pulses, causing the emission of high harmonics of incident light. HHG has historically been explained by theories employing a classical electromagnetic field, successfully capturing its spectral and temporal characteristics. However, recent research indicates that quantum-optical effects naturally exist or can be artificially induced in HHG, such as entanglement between emitted harmonics.
