We report new instrumentation for rapidly and reliably measuring the temperature-dependent photoluminescence response from porous silicon as a function of analyte vapor concentration. The new system maintains the porous silicon under inert conditions and it allows on-the-fly steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence intensity and hyper-spectral measurements between 293 K and 450 K. The new system yields reliable data at least 100-fold faster in comparison to previous instrument platforms.

This paper reports on the photoluminescence of porous GaPprepared by electrochemical anodization of (111)-oriented bulk material.Porous and bulk GaP exhibits green and red photoluminescence, respectively when excited by the 355-nm laser. The photoluminescence intensity of porous GaP is much stronger than that of the bulk sample. Temperature-dependent time-resolved photoluminescence shows that the green emission gradually decreases when the temperature increases and the photoluminescence full width at haft maximum (FWHM) slightly narrow with decreasing temperature. These results assigned to the contribution of lattice vibrations. Raman scattering measurement is carried out to confirm the size decreasing of the porous GaP material.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the sensitivity of blue (PLmax = 480 nm) and red (PLmax = 660 nm) emitting porous silicon samples to various chemical adsorbates. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements and FTIR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the photophysical and optical effects induced by chemical exposure. The red samples, which are hydrogen terminated, exhibit quenching and recovery of photoluminescence intensity and broadening of the Si-Hx stretch bands upon exposure to liquid methanol. This behavior is attributed to the ability of the Si-Hx specie on the surface of the PSI to interact with the solvent molecules which temporarily traps the electrons and causes PL loss and Si-Hx broadening. The blue samples, which are oxygen terminated, display similar sensitivity to methanol. This sensitivity is attributed to the solvent's ability to change the surface passivation and thereby introduce competitive radiative and nonradiative recombination channels. The origin of the blue PL is discussed.

ABSTRACTRadiative recombination processes in bulk InGaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on lithium gallate (LGO or LiGaO2) substrates were investigated using microscopic PL and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). The improved structural quality resulting from a better lattice match of the LGO substrate to III-V nitride materials simplifies these investigations because well-defined composition phases can be analyzed for both homogeneous and phased separated InGaN samples. Epilayers of InGaN intentionally grown with and without indium segregation were studied. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the homogeneous epilayer was high quality In0.208Ga0.702N and the segregated epilayer exhibited peaks corresponding to both In0.289Ga0.711N and In0.443Ga0.557N indicating the presence of higher In concentration regions in this sample. Spatially resolved photoluminescence spectra confirm the existence of these regions. The photoluminescence intensity decay is non-exponential for both samples and a stretched exponential fit to the decay data confirms the existence of local potential fluctuations in which carriers are localized before recombination.

AbstractThe effect of different organic charge transporting materials on the photoluminescence of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots has been studied by means of steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. With an increase in concentration of the organic charge transporting material in the quantum dots solutions, the photoluminescence intensity of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots was quenched greatly and the fluorescence lifetime was shortened gradually. The quenching efficiency of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots decreased with increasing the oxidation potential of organic charge transporting materials. Based on the analysis, two pathways in the photoluminescence quenching process have been defined: static quenching and dynamic quenching. The dynamic quenching is correlated with hole transporting from quantum dots to the charge transporting materials.
