Colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Quantum Numbers

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Gain01:15

Gain

378
Gain and phase shift are properties of linear circuits that describe the effect a circuit has on a sinusoidal input voltage or current. The circuit's behavior that contains reactive elements will depend on the frequency of the input sinusoid. As a result, it is observed that the gain and phase shift will all be frequency functions.
Gain:
Suppose Vin is the input and Vout is the output signal to a circuit.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Colloidal precipitates01:09

Colloidal precipitates

5.9K
The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optoelectronics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) offer precise thickness control for optoelectronic applications.
  • Existing layer-by-layer shell growth methods at room temperature introduce defects, limiting photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and optical gain performance.
  • Defects and Auger recombination hinder NPLs' potential as efficient optical gain media.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new method for growing high-quality shells on colloidal nanoplatelets.
  • To improve PLQY, photostability, and optical gain properties of NPLs.
  • To reduce Auger recombination and amplified spontaneous emission thresholds.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a hot-injection method for growing giant, alloyed shells on NPLs.
  • Minimized core/shell lattice mismatch to reduce defects.
  • Suppressed Auger recombination through shell engineering.

Main Results:

  • Achieved near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) with narrow emission linewidth (20 nm) and tunable emission (610-650 nm).
  • Demonstrated significantly reduced Auger recombination, leading to a record-low amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold of 2.4 μJ cm⁻² under one-photon pumping.
  • Reported single-mode lasing operation with a threshold of 0.55 mJ cm⁻² under two-photon excitation, outperforming existing nanocrystal-based lasers.

Conclusions:

  • Hot-injection growth of thick, alloyed shells is a viable strategy for creating ultrahigh-performance NPLs.
  • The developed NPLs show exceptional optical gain properties, making them promising for advanced optoelectronic devices.
  • This work overcomes previous limitations in NPL shell growth, paving the way for next-generation optical gain media.
