Nonlinear photoluminescence (N-PL) is a broadband photon emission arising from a nonequilibrium heated electron distribution generated at the surface of metallic nanostructures by ultrafast pulsed laser illumination. N-PL is sensitive to surface morphology, local electromagnetic field strength, and electronic band structure, making it relevant to probe optically excited nanoscale plasmonic systems. It also has been key to accessing the complex multiscale time dynamics ruling electron thermalization. Here, we show that plasmon-mediated N-PL emitted by a gold nanowire can be modified by an electrical architecture featuring a nanogap. Upon voltage activation, we observe that N-PL becomes dependent on the electrical transport dynamics and can thus be locally modulated. This finding brings an electrical leverage to externally control the photoluminescence generated from metal nanostructures and constitutes an asset for the development of emerging nanoscale interface devices managing photons and electrons.

In the present study, lanthanum oxytellurate (LOT) samples with varying La : Te ratios are successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method that has enormous advantages. The prepared samples crystallize in a LaOTe composite phase with an orthorhombic crystal system. A nanorod-like morphology is observed for each sample, and the presence of constituent elements is verified from EDX results.

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (MNCs) composed of a few to hundreds of metal atoms represent an emerging class of nanomaterials with a precise composition. With the size approaching the Fermi wavelength of electrons, their energy levels are well-separated, leading to molecule-like properties, like discrete single electronic transitions, tunable photoluminescence (PL), inherent structural anisotropy, and distinct redox behavior. Extensive synthetic efforts and electronic structure revelation have expanded applicability of MNCs in catalysis, optoelectronics, and biology.

With the development of optical anti-counterfeiting and the increasing demand for high-level information encryption, multimodal luminescence (MML) materials attract much attention. However, the discovery of these multifunctional materials is very accidental, and the versatile host suitable for developing such materials remains unclear. Here, a grossite-type fast ionic conductor CaGaO, characterized by layered and tunnel structure with excellent defect tolerance, is found to meet the needs of various luminescent processes.

Recent developments in optical imaging techniques, particularly multi-photon excitation microscopy that allows studies of biological interactions at a deep cellular level, have motivated intensive research in developing multi-photon absorption fluorophores. Biological tissues are optically transparent in the near-infrared region. Therefore, fluorophores that can absorb light in the near-infrared (NIR) region by multi-photon absorption are particularly useful in bio-imaging.
