Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light02:00

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.
Photoelectric Effect02:26

Photoelectric Effect

When light of a particular wavelength strikes a metal surface, electrons are emitted. This is called the photoelectric effect. The minimum frequency of light that can cause such emission of electrons is called the threshold frequency, which is specific to the metal. Light with a frequency lower than the threshold frequency, even if it is of high intensity, cannot initiate the emission of electrons. However, when the frequency is higher than the threshold value, the number of electrons ejected...
Photoluminescence: Applications01:14

Photoluminescence: Applications

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...
Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)01:15

Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT)

Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (INEPT) is an advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique specifically designed to detect and enhance the signals of low-abundance nuclei, such as carbon-13 and nitrogen-15, in small molecules. The fundamental principle behind INEPT is the transfer of polarization from a more abundant and highly polarizable nucleus, typically hydrogen-1, to the low-abundance nucleus of interest. This process effectively boosts the NMR signal of the...
Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optoelectronics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors are crucial for medical diagnostics, optical communication, and bioimaging.
  • Traditional silicon and III-V semiconductor photodetectors face limitations in large-area, flexible applications due to manufacturing complexity and cost.
  • Organic photodetectors (OPDs) offer a cost-effective, flexible alternative with tunable spectral responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Synthesized core-shell structured PdCu@Au@SiO2 nanotripods (NTs) with D3h configuration for LSPR beyond 1000 nm.
  • Integrated these NTs into the active layer of organic photodetectors (OPDs).
  • Evaluated the performance of NT-based OPDs, including responsivity and dynamic range, and compared them to control OPDs and silicon photodetectors.

Main Results:

  • The integration of PdCu@Au@SiO2 NTs significantly boosted NIR absorption in OPDs.
  • Achieved a responsivity of 0.46 A/W and a dynamic range of 145 dB at 1050 nm.
  • NT-based OPDs demonstrated superior sensitivity over control OPDs and silicon detectors at wavelengths >1000 nm due to synergistic LSPR and scattering effects.

Conclusions:

  • The developed PdCu@Au@SiO2 NTs effectively enhance NIR absorption and performance in OPDs.
  • The synergistic effects of LSPR and omnidirectional scattering improve carrier generation and extraction.
  • These NT-based OPDs show significant potential for advanced applications like long-range photoplethysmography and visual line-of-sight communication.
