Graphene nanosheets (GNSs) were grown on a Si nanoporous pillar array (Si-NPA) via chemical vapour deposition, using a thin layer of pre-deposited Ni nanocrystallites as catalyst. GNSs were determined to be of high quality and good dispersivity, with a typical diameter size of 15 × 8 nm. Light absorption measurements showed that GNSs had an absorption band edge at 3.3 eV. They also showed sharp and regular excitonic emitting peaks in the ultraviolet and visible region (2.06–3.6 eV). Moreover, phonon replicas with long-term stability appeared with the excitonic peaks at room temperature. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence from the GNSs revealed that the excitonic emission derived from free and bound excitonic recombination. A physical model based on band energy theory was constructed to analyse the carrier transport of GNSs. The Ni nanocrystallites on Si-NPA, which acted as a metal-enhanced fluorescence substrate, were supposed to accelerate the excitonic recombination of GNSs and enhanced the measured emission intensity. Results of this study would be valuable in determining the luminescence mechanism of GNSs and could be applied in real-world optoelectronic devices.

In this work, a one-pot, rapid, green and room temperature photochemical synthesis of transition metal (TM; Cu, Mn)-doped ZnSe nanocrystals (NCs) was reported. NCs were successfully characterized using Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL) and UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDX). FT-IR spectra confirmed the capping of ZnSe by thioglycolic acid (TGA) molecules. XRD and TEM analysis demonstrated zinc blend phase NCs with an average size of around 3 nm. Band gap of ZnSe NCs was about 3.6 eV which it was decreased by increasing the illumination time. PL spectra of ZnSe NCs showed a broad emission with two peaks located at 380 nm and 490 nm related to excitonic and trap states emission, respectively. For ZnSe:Cu NCs, excitonic emission disappeared completely and PL intensity of trap states emission increased with the increase in the Cu[Formula: see text] ion concentration so that for precursor ratio of Cu:Zn 1%, optimal value of PL intensity was obtained. For ZnSe:Mn NCs, the excitonic emission decreased gradually with the increase in the impurity concentration whereas trap state emission increased. Moreover, a peak about 590 nm was appeared from 4T1-6A1 transition of the Mn[Formula: see text] impurity, demonstrating the Mn incorporation inside the ZnSe NCs structure.

Color centers in silicon carbide have recently emerged as one of the most promising emitters for bright single-photon emitting diodes (SPEDs). It has been shown that, at room temperature, they can emit more than 109 photons per second under electrical excitation. However, the spectral emission properties of color centers in SiC at room temperature are far from ideal. The spectral properties could be significantly improved by decreasing the operating temperature. However, the densities of free charge carriers in SiC rapidly decrease as temperature decreases, which reduces the efficiency of electrical excitation of color centers by many orders of magnitude. Here, we study for the first time the temperature characteristics of SPEDs based on color centers in 4H-SiC. Using a rigorous numerical approach, we demonstrate that although the single-photon electroluminescence rate does rapidly decrease as temperature decreases, it is possible to increase the SPED brightness to 107 photons/s at 100 K using the recently predicted effect of hole superinjection in homojunction p-i-n diodes. This gives the possibility to achieve high brightness and good spectral properties at the same time, which paves the way toward novel quantum photonics applications of electrically driven color centers in silicon carbide.

Abstract Tailoring the photoluminescence (PL) properties in two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals using external factors is critical for its use in valleytronic, nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications. Although significant effort has been devoted towards enhancing or manipulating the excitonic emission in MoS2 monolayers, the excitonic emission in few-layers MoS2 has been largely unexplored. Here, we put forward a novel nano-heterojunction system, prepared with a non-lithographic process, to enhance and control such emission. It is based on the incorporation of few-layers MoS2 into a plasmonic silver metaphosphate glass (AgPO3) matrix. It is shown that, apart from the enhancement of the emission of both A- and B-excitons, the B-excitonic emission dominates the PL intensity. In particular, we observe an almost six-fold enhancement of the B-exciton emission, compared to control MoS2 samples. This enhanced PL at room temperature is attributed to an enhanced exciton–plasmon coupling and it is supported by ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy that reveals plasmon-enhanced electron transfer that takes place in Ag nanoparticles-MoS2 nanoheterojunctions. Our results provide a great avenue to tailor the emission properties of few-layers MoS2, which could find application in emerging valleytronic devices working with B excitons.
