Photoluminescence: Fluorescence and Phosphorescence

2.2K
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.

Photoluminescence: Applications

472
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...

Variables Affecting Phosphorescence and Fluorescence

576
Fluorescence and phosphorescence are essential phenomena in fields like analytical chemistry, biological imaging, and materials science, where they detect molecular properties and visualize cellular structures. Understanding the variables that influence these luminescent behaviors is crucial for maximizing accuracy and efficiency in their applications. These variables can broadly be grouped into chemical structure, solvent properties, and external conditions, each playing a distinct role in...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.1K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid-state Chemistry
  • Photophysics

Background:

  • Developing solid luminescent materials with high quantum yield and tunable emission is challenging.
  • Perylene derivatives are known for their luminescent properties but often require specific matrices for optimal performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a straightforward method for creating solid luminescent materials with near-unity quantum yield and tunable emission color.
  • To investigate the role of boric acid matrix in enhancing quantum yield and enabling color tunability of PTCDA.

Main Methods:

  • A simple heat-treatment method was employed to load 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) into a boric acid (BA) matrix.
  • Characterization of the resulting powders for luminescent properties, including quantum yield and emission spectra.

Main Results:

  • Powders with near-unity quantum yield and tunable emission from yellow to green were successfully produced.
  • Emission originates from PTCDA, with color tunability attributed to PTCDA hydrolysis in an alkaline environment.
  • The boric acid matrix confines PTCDA, contributing to the high quantum yield and excellent thermal stability.

Conclusions:

  • A facile heat-treatment method yields solid luminescent powders with desirable properties for applications like light-emitting diodes.
