The development of hybrid materials with unique optical properties has been a challenge for the creation of high-performance composites. The improved photophysical and photochemical properties observed when fluorophores interact with clay minerals, as well as the accessibility and easy handling of such natural materials, make these nanocomposites attractive for designing novel optical hybrid materials. Here, we present a method of promoting this interaction by conjugating dyes with chitosan. The fluorescent properties of conjugated dye–montmorillonite (MMT) hybrids were similar to those of free dye–MMT hybrids. Moreover, we analyzed the relationship between the changes in optical properties of the dye interacting with clay and its structure and defined the physical and chemical mechanisms that take place upon dye–MMT interactions leading to the optical changes. Conjugation to chitosan additionally ensures stable adsorption on clay nanoplatelets due to the strong electrostatic interaction between chitosan and clay. This work thus provides a method to facilitate the design of solid-state hybrid nanomaterials relevant for potential applications in bioimaging, sensing and optical purposes.

Structural, elastic, optical, and electronic properties of wurtzite (WZ), zinc-blende (ZB), and rocksalt (RS) structures of AlN are investigated using the first-principles method and within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Lattice parameters, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and elastic constants are calculated at zero pressure and compared with other experimental and theoretical results. The wurtzite and zinc-blende structures have a transition to rocksalt phase at the pressures of 12.7 GPa and 14 GPa, respectively. The electronic properties are calculated using both GGA and EV-GGA approximations; the obtained results by EV-GGA approximation are in much better agreement with the available experimental data. The RS phase has the largest bandgap with an amount of 4.98 eV; by increasing pressure, this amount is also increased. The optical properties like dielectric function, energy loss function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient are calculated under pressure using GGA approximation. Inter-band transitions are investigated using the peaks of imaginary part of the dielectric function and these transitions mainly occur from N-2[Formula: see text] to Al-3[Formula: see text] levels. The results show that the RS structure has more different properties than the WZ and ZB structures.

A tight-binding models which account for band mixing, strain and external applied potentials in a self-consistent fashion has been developed. This allows us to describe electronic and optical properties of nanostructured devices beyond the usual envelope function approximation. This model can be applied to direct and indirect gap semiconductors thus allowing for instance the self-consistent calculation of band profile and carrier control in pseudomorphic InGaAs/GaAs HEMTs and SiGe/Si MODFETs.

Quantum dots semiconductor heterostructures exhibit optical and electronic properties similar to those of real atoms, due to the delta like dispersion of the density of states. The study of the optical and electronic properties of artificial atoms in high magnetic fields allows the observation of quantum effects typical of the atomic physics. In this work we review the problem of artificial atoms in magnetic fields starting from the single-particle theory up to the problems encountered in the observation of correlation effects when two or more carriers are confined in the dot. The main experiments elucidating the change of the optical and electronic properties of artifical atoms in magnetic fields are also reviewed.

Abstract Atomically flat colloidal nanoplatelets with strong one-dimensional confinement represent the most recently discovered type of quantum-confined cadmium chalcogenide nanocrystals. In almost a decade a great progress has been achieved in the colloidal synthesis of nanoplatelets and understanding of their basic optical and electronic properties. However, up until recently methods of their controlled spatial orientation were quite scarce, what in turn hindered obtaining reliable information on their anisotropic structural and optical properties arising from their shape. In this paper we provide a mini-review of recent advances in this field of study.
