  • The magneto-exciton effect in two-dimensional (2D) magnets connects optics and magnetism, yet its mechanisms, especially under high magnetic fields, are not well understood.
  • A study of the spin-exciton coupling in the 2D antiferromagnetic material NiPS reveals a sharp excitonic emission that splits in the presence of a magnetic field, indicating the presence of triplet-singlet exciton states.
  • By analyzing the polarization of this emission and simulating spin dynamics, researchers confirm a relationship between excitonic emission and the Néel vector, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of spin-exciton coupling in NiPS and suggesting methods for studying spin behavior in 2D magnets.

Article Abstract

Among the fascinating phenomena observed in two-dimensional (2D) magnets, the magneto-exciton effect stands out as a pivotal link between optics and magnetism. Although the excitonic effect has been revealed and exhibits a considerable correlation with the spin structures in certain 2D magnets, the underlying mechanism of the magneto-exciton effect remains underexplored, especially under high magnetic fields. Here we perform a systematic investigation of the spin-exciton coupling in 2D antiferromagnetic NiPS under high magnetic fields. When an in-plane magnetic field is applied, the exceptional sharp excitonic emission at ~1.4756 eV exhibits a Zeeman-like splitting with g ≈ 2.0, experimentally identifying the exciton as an excitation of dominant triplet-singlet character. By examining the polarization of excitonic emission and simulating the spin evolution, we further verify the correlation between excitonic emission and Néel vector in NiPS. Our work elucidates the mechanism behind the spin-exciton coupling in NiPS and establishes a strategy for optically probing the spin evolutions in 2D magnets.

Modulation of singlet and triplet energy transfer from excited semiconductor nanocrystals to attached dye molecules remains an important criterion for the design of light-harvesting assemblies. Whereas one can consider the selection of donor and acceptor with favorable energetics, spectral overlap, and kinetics of energy transfer as a means to direct the singlet and triplet energy transfer pathways, it is not obvious how to control the singlet and triplet characteristics of the donor semiconductor nanocrystal itself. By doping CsPb(ClBr) nanocrystals with Mn, we have now succeeded in increasing the triplet characteristics of semiconductor nanocrystals.

Heterostructuring of two-dimensional materials offers a robust platform to precisely tune optoelectronic properties through interlayer interactions. Here we achieved a strong interlayer coupling in a double-layered heterostructure of sulfur isotope-modified adjacent MoS monolayers two-step chemical vapor deposition growth. The strong interlayer coupling in the MoS(S)/MoS(S) was affirmed by low-frequency shear and breathing modes in the Raman spectra.

Enhanced Spontaneous Emission Rate and Luminescence Intensity of CsPbBr Quantum Dots Using a High- Microdisk Cavity.

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are high-efficiency optoelectronic materials attracting great interest, but further improvement in the luminescence efficiency is crucial for their application. In this work, we enhance both the spontaneous emission rate and the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of CsPbBr QDs by coupling them to a high quality () factor SiO microdisk cavity. Compared to conventional metal plasmonic cavities, the dielectric cavity structure suppresses the effects of quenching and energy transfer, which could introduce complex fluctuations and nonradiative decays.

Mn ions doped CsPbCl perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit superiority of spin-associated optical and electrical properties. However, precisely controlling the doping concentration, doping location, and the mono-distribution of Mn ions in the large-micro-size CsPbCl perovskite host is a formidable challenge. Here, the micro size CsPbCl perovskite crystals (MCs) are reported with uniform Mn ions doping by self-assembly of Mn ions doped CsPbCl perovskite NCs.

Low-threshold anisotropic polychromatic emission from monodisperse quantum dots.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are solution-processable semiconductor nanocrystals with favorable optoelectronic characteristics, one of which is their multi-excitonic behavior that enables broadband polychromatic light generation and amplification from monodisperse QDs. However, the practicality of this has been limited by the difficulty in achieving spatial separation and patterning of different colors as well as the high pumping intensity required to excite the multi-excitonic states. Here, we have addressed these issues by integrating monodisperse QDs in multi-excitonic states into a specially designed cavity, in which the QDs exhibit an anisotropic polychromatic emission (APE) characteristic that allows for tuning the emission from green to red by shifting the observation direction from perpendicular to lateral.
