Two-dimensional materials are an emerging class of new materials with a wide range of electrical and optical properties and potential applications. Single-layer structures of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are gaining…
There is currently a growing interest in understanding the origins of intrinsic fluorescence as a way to design non-invasive probes for biophysical processes. In this regard, understanding how pH influences fluorescence in non-aromatic…
Electrical modulation and switching of photoluminescence (PL) have been demonstrated in pure deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal (DHFLC) material. The PL intensity increases and peak position shifts towards lower wavelength above a…
In recent years many experiments have demonstrated the possibility to achieve efficient photoluminescence from Si/SiO2 nanocrystals. While it is widely known that only a minor portions of the nanocrystals in the samples contribute to the…
The pronounced light-matter interactions in photonic crystals make them interesting as opto-fludic "building blocks" for lab-on-a-chip applications. We show how conducting electrolytes cause dissipation and smearing of the…
Understanding the conditions which favor crystallisation or vitrification of liquids has been a long-standing scientific problem. Another connected, and not yet well understood question is the relationship between the glassy and the various…
Photomechanical liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are responsive polymers that can convert light directly into mechanical deformation. This unique feature makes these materials an attractive candidate for soft actuators capable of remote and…
The emergent photoactive materials through photochemistry make it possible to directly convert photon energy to mechanical work. There is much recent work in developing appropriate materials and a promising new system is semi-crystalline…
Anthracene derivative compounds are currently investigated because of their unique physical properties (e.g., bright luminescence and emission tunability), which make them ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic devices. Intermolecular…
Bose condensed light can form new phases [1] in a dye filled cavity due to the presence of the orientational disorder created by dye molecules which are essentially frozen on the time scale of the photonic thermalization (few ps). At longer…
Hybrid heterostructures combining transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with light-harvesting dyes are promising materials for next-generation optoelectronics. Yet, controlling and understanding interfacial charge transfer mechanisms in…
Silicon has long been the foundational semiconductor material for a broad range of electronic devices, owing to its numerous advantages: wide natural availability, ease of synthesis in both crystalline and amorphous forms, and relatively…
Using the highly localized current of electrons tunneling through a double barrier Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) junction, we excite luminescence from a selected C$_{60}$ molecule in the surface layer of fullerene nanocrystals grown…
Oxygen-containing yttrium hydride thin films exhibit a photochromic behavior: transparent thin films switch from a transparent state to a photodarkened state after being illuminated with UV or blue light. This feature has attracted much…
There exist two types of structural instability in polyacene: double bonds in a cis pattern and those in a trans pattern. They are isoenergetic but spectroscopically distinct. We demonstrate optical characterization and manipulation of…
We report emergence of photoluminescence at room temperature in trigonal $Cs_3Bi_2Br_9$ at high pressures. Enhancement in intensity with pressure is found to be driven by increase in distortion of $BiBr_6$ octahedra and iso-structural…
The nature of enhanced photoemission in disordered and amorphous solids is an intriguing open question. A point in case is light emission in silicon, which occurs when the material is porous or nanostructured, but the effect is absent in…
Radiationless deactivation channels of 2-thiocytosine in aqueous environment are revisited by means of quantum-chemical simulations of excited-state absorption spectra, and investigations of potential energy surfaces of the chromophore…
In spite of several articles, the origin of visible luminescence from germanium nanocrystals in SiO$_2$ matrix is controversial even today. Some authors attribute the luminescence to quantum confinement of charge carriers in these…
{CircumStellar Envelopes (CSEs) of stars are complex chemical objects for which theoretical models encounter difficulties in elaborating a comprehensive overview of the occurring chemical processes. Along with photodissociation, ion-neutral…
