Abstract:
The present paper reports synthesis of five Dy(III) complexes with bidentate ligand (3-benzylidene-2,4-pentanedione) and auxiliary ligands i.e. 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl (dmbipy), neocuproine (neo) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). The structural and photometric parameters of the complexes were investigated through 1H NMR, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared, photoluminescence and ultra-violet visible spectroscopy. The optical energy gap values validated their role in semiconducting devices. These complexes exhibit suitable thermal stability revealing their utility in fabrication of white OLEDs. The emission profile of Dy(III) complexes displayed peaks at 575 nm (yellow emission) and 484 nm (blue emission) accredited to 4F9/2→4H13/2,15/2 transitions of dysprosium ion. The decay curve exhibit monoexponential behaviour suggesting the existence of one luminescent centre in dysprosium complexes. Moreover, their CCT and CIE coordinates value authenticate them as cool white light emitting complexes.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
