Photoluminescence: Fluorescence and Phosphorescence

3.2K
Photoluminescence is a process where a molecule absorbs light energy and re-emits it in the form of light. This phenomenon occurs when a substance absorbs photons, promoting its electrons to higher energy level excited states, followed by a relaxation process in which the electrons return to their original ground state energy levels and emit light. Photoluminescence is widely observed in various materials, including semiconductors, and organic and inorganic compounds.

Biasing of P-N Junction

1.6K
The operation of a p-n junction diode involves various biasing conditions, including forward bias, reverse bias, and equilibrium.
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...

Photoluminescence: Applications

913
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

Area of Science:

  • Solid State Physics
  • Optoelectronics
  • Semiconductor Devices

Background:

  • Micro-pixelated light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) typically require continuous external carrier injection for stable electroluminescence.
  • Conventional μLED operation relies on electrical contact and carrier injection from electrodes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a novel operating mode for μLEDs that does not require external electrical contact or carrier injection.
  • To explore wireless activation of μLEDs using inherent carriers and alternating-current electric fields.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a theoretical model involving majority carrier diffusion and minority carrier drift within the μLED.
  • Employed a 'carrier pump' to experimentally validate the proposed carrier dynamics.
  • Investigated the intrinsic device-in-capacitor characteristics, including self-protection against electrical breakdown.

Main Results:

  • Achieved stable electroluminescence from μLEDs in a non-electrical contact, non-carrier injection mode.
  • Demonstrated that inherent carriers in μLEDs can facilitate radiative recombination under an alternating-current electric field.
  • Confirmed the device's intrinsic self-protection against electrical breakdown.

Conclusions:

  • This work introduces a new device configuration and an alternative operating mode for μLEDs.
  • Presents a novel approach for wireless μLED activation, moving beyond traditional carrier injection methods.
  • Offers a research pathway for developing advanced μLED-based technologies.
