AI Article Synopsis

  • LEDs show Lambertian emission, necessitating secondary optics for tailored output based on application needs.
  • This research introduces plasmonic metasurfaces with aluminum nanodisks to improve the direction and efficiency of light emission from InGaN quantum wells in LEDs.
  • Integrating these metasurfaces can increase light intensity by up to 5 times and offers a more efficient way to control emission without additional optics or complex post-processing.

Article Abstract

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) exhibit a typical Lambertian emission, raising the need for secondary optics to tailor their emission depending on specific applications. Here, we introduce plasmonic metasurfaces to InGaN green emitting quantum wells for LEDs to control their far-field emission directionality and enhance the collection efficiency. The proposed mechanism is based on surface lattice resonances (SLRs) and relies on the near-field coupling between the InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) and periodic arrays of aluminum (Al) nanodisks. Fourier microscopy measurements reveal that the angular photoluminescence emission pattern depends on the lattice constant of the metasurfaces. We demonstrate that integrating Al metasurfaces in LED wafers can enhance the collected outcoupled light intensity by a factor of 5 compared to the same sample without metasurfaces. We have also performed numerical calculations of the far-field emission based on the reciprocity principle and obtained a very good agreement with the experimental data. The proposed approach controls the emission directionality without the need for secondary optics and it does not require post-etching of the GaN, which makes it a potential candidate to control and enhance the generated light from micro-LEDs.

Organic pollutants removal via a polymerization transfer (PT) pathway based on the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) promises efficient water purification with minimal energy/chemical inputs. However, the precise engineering of such catalytic systems toward PT decontamination is still challenging, and the conventional SACs are plagued by low structural stability of carbon material support. Here, we adopted magnesium oxide (MgO) as a structurally stable alternative for loading single copper (Cu) atoms to drive peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton-like reactions.

The increasing demand for controlling electromagnetic waves has led to the construction of a variety of metasurface absorbers with different functionalities. In this Letter, we designed a kind of single-layer metasurfaces with delicately designed hybrid magnetic meta-atoms (HMMAs), which can be operated as perfect absorbers (PAs) for the electromagnetic wave incident at a specified direction, but at the mirror symmetric direction, the nearly total reflection is achieved. This remarkable nonreciprocal phenomenon arises from the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking nature of magnetic surface plasmon as well as the lattice Kerker effect due to the interaction of HMMAs in the single-layer metasurfaces.

Alkali element doping has significant physical implications for two-dimensional materials, primarily by tuning the electronic structure and carrier concentration. It can enhance interface electronic interactions, providing opportunities for effective charge transfer at metal-organic interfaces. In this work, we investigated the effects of gradually increasing the level of K doping on the lattice structure and electronic properties of an organometallic coordinated Kagome lattice on a Ag(111) surface.

The development of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors is limited by the lack of doping methods. We propose surface isovalent substitution as an efficient doping mechanism for 2D semiconductors by revealing the evolution of the structure and electronic properties of 2D Se/Te. Because of the different electronegativity of Se and Te, Se substitution for Te at the specific lattice sites introduces electric dipoles and leads to charge redistribution, which lowers the work function and tunes the Te films from p-type to n-type semiconductors.
