InGaAs/GaAsBi/InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) were grown on GaAs substrates by gas source molecular beam epitaxy for realizing the type II band-edge line-up. Both type I and type II transitions were observed in the Bi containing W QWs and the…
Frequency upconversion, which converts low-energy photons into higher-energy ones, typically requires intense coherent illumination to drive nonlinear processes or the use of externally driven optoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate an…
We report on a photo-induced transient state of YBa2Cu2O6+x in which transport perpendicular to the Cu-O planes becomes highly coherent. This effect is achieved by excitation with mid-infrared optical pulses, tuned to the resonant frequency…
An ultrafast mechanism belonging to the family of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) phenomena is proposed. When two excited species are present, an ultrafast energy transfer can take place bringing one of them to its ground state and…
The conversion of optical and electrical energy in novel materials is key to modern optoelectronic and light-harvesting applications. Here, we investigate the equilibration dynamics of photoexcited…
Superconductivity in organic conductors is often tuned by the application of chemical or external pressure. With this type of tuning, orbital overlaps and electronic bandwidths are manipulated, whilst the properties of the molecular…
Emission lines of Be-like ions are frequently observed in astrophysical plasmas, and many are useful for density and temperature diagnostics. However, accurate atomic data for energy levels, radiative rates (A-values) and effective electron…
The modern means of controlled irradiation by femtosecond lasers or swift heavy ion beams can transiently produce such energy densities in samples that reach collective electronic excitation levels of the warm dense matter state where the…
One photon up-conversion photoluminescence is an optical phenomenon whereby the thermal energy of a fluorescent material increases the energy of an emitted photon compared with the energy of the photon that was absorbed. When this occurs…
Time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been utilized to monitor the bimolecular electron transfer in a photocatalytic water splitting system for the first time. This has been possible by uniting the local probe and element specific…
Maximum efficiency of ideal single-junction photovoltaic (PV) cells is limited to 33% (for one sun illumination) by intrinsic losses such as band edge thermalization, radiative recombination, and inability to absorb below-bandgap photons.…
Highly intense, sub-picosecond terahertz (THz) pulses can be used to induce ultrafast temperature jumps (T-jumps) in liquid water. A supercritical state of gas-like water with liquid density is established, and the accompanying structural…
Current advanced research on infrared and visible image fusion primarily focuses on improving fusion performance, often neglecting the applicability on real-time fusion devices. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that towards…
There is a lack of highly efficient light emitting devices (LEDs) operating in the green spectral regime. The devices based on (In,Al)GaN show extremely high efficiencies in violet and blue colors but fall short for longer emission…
In this paper, we simulate the function of hot-carrier photocatalysts (HCPCs) with quantum well and quantum dot energy-selective contacts (ESCs) in the water-splitting reaction. The transport equations for these ESCs are derived by using…
Ultrafast dynamics in three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) opens new routes for increasing the speed of information transport up to frequencies thousand times faster than in modern electronics. However, up to date, disentangling…
Quantum states of light play a pivotal role in modern science[1] and future photonic applications[2]. While impressive progress has been made in their generation and manipulation with high fidelities, the common table-top approach is…
Quantum Optical Coherence Tomography (Q-OCT) uses quantum properties of light to provide several advantages over its classical counterpart, OCT: it achieves a twice better axial resolution with the same spectral bandwidth and it is immune…
Excitons in semiconductors may form correlated phases at low temperatures. We report the observation of an exciton liquid in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells. Above a critical density and below a critical temperature the photogenerated…
