Published: July 2022

The thermal lens effect is analyzed as a time-resolved Z-scan measurement using cw-single Gaussian beam configuration. The main characteristics of the measurement method are determined. We focus on the evaluation of the measurement error from statistical calculations to also check the linearity of the response and the way to extract the thermo-optical characteristics of absorbing liquids. The results are also applied to demonstrate the feasibility of absorption and scattering efficiencies determination on gold nanoparticles of 5 and 50 nm diameters.

Lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have become a research hotspot in the field of photoelectrons due to their unique optical properties and flexible compositional tuning. However, the luminescence of DPs exhibits thermal quenching at high temperatures, which severely affects their further application. Herein, we synthesized the rare earth Dy and transition metal Mn codoped CsNaYCl rare earth DPs and characterized the optical properties using temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence decay profiles at different temperatures.

Organic room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have wide-ranging applications in anticounterfeiting, biodiagnostics, and optoelectronic devices due to their unique properties. However, it remains a challenge to give organic RTP materials dynamic tunability to satisfy the demands of various advanced applications. Herein, we propose an effective strategy to precisely modulate phosphorescent performance by incorporating dynamic metal-ligand coordination within a host-guest doped system.

Introducing an experimental technique of time-resolved inelastic neutron scattering (TRINS), we explore the time-dependent effects of resonant pulsed microwaves on the molecular magnet CrFPiv. The octagonal rings of magnetic Cr atoms with antiferromagnetic interactions form a singlet ground state with a weakly split triplet of excitations at 0.8 meV.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-based nanoprobes are promising candidates as bioimaging agents, yet the fine-tuning of their photophysical properties through the modulation of the surrounding matrices remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report the development of polypeptide-TADF nanoprobes, where the rigid, α-helical polypeptide scaffold plays a critical role in enhancing the emission intensity and lifetime of the TADF fluorophore for bioimaging. The α-helical scaffolds not only spatially separated TADF molecules to avoid self-quenching but also anchored the dyes with minimized rotation and vibration.
