A set of polymer-embedded, two-colored nanocomposites were prepared where the co-existing emission peaks (~578 nm and ~650 nm) had different ratios at their emission thresholds. The nanocomposite samples were simultaneously excited by a 405 nm laser, and the growth of photoluminescence intensities was studied as a function of excitation intensity. The two peaks showed different growth evolution mechanisms. The factors impacting this difference could be (1) energy transfer between the two sized nanoparticles; (2) relaxation mechanism of smaller nanoparticles; and (3) material properties of the polymer.

Synthetic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) contain various chiralities, which can be sorted by DNA. However, finding DNA sequences for this purpose mainly relies on trial-and-error methods. Predicting the right DNA sequences to sort SWCNTs remains a substantial challenge.

HoF crystals of varying sizes and morphologies were synthesized by controlling the amount of water. As the water content gradually decreased, the size of the crystals reduced, transforming from microcrystals to approximately 100 nm nanocrystals with unique morphologies. At room temperature, the pressure-induced phase transitions, and photoluminescence (PL) properties of HoF micro/nanocrystals are studied using in situ high-pressure PL technique.

Rare earth Tb doped (KNaLi)(NbBi)O (KNNLB-%Tb) lead-free transparent ferroelectric ceramics were designed and prepared. The effects of Tb on phase structure, microstructure, optical transmittance, photoluminescence, and photochromic behaviors were studied. Although two ferroelectric phases coexist, the optical transmittance can reach the high value of 74% in the visible light region because of the fine grains, dense ceramic microstructure, large optical energy band gap, and relatively high symmetry of coexisting ferroelectric phases.

At the same time, surface carboxyl group-modified fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles (PNPs-COOH) were immobilized in the nanogel networks by hydrogen bonding to show bright green photoluminescence and outstanding thermo-responsive properties with a typical two-phase Tai Chi structure. Poly(NIPAM-AAm)-PNPs-COOH displays a larger change of hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) and a reversible volume transition from ∼150 nm at 40 °C to ∼1.
