  • M7 Electroluminescence of Polymers
    Universität Potsdam Institute of Physics and Astronomy Advanced Physics Lab Course March 2020 M7 ELECTROLUMINESCENCE OF POLYMERS I. INTRODUCTION The recombination of holes and electrons in a luminescent material can produce light. This emitted light is referred to as electroluminescence (EL) and was discovered in organic single crystals by Pope, Magnante, and Kallmann in 1963.[1] EL from conjugated polymers was first reported by Burroughes et al.[2] The polymer used was poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV). Since then, a variety of other polymers has been investigated. Organic EL devices have applications in a wide field ranging from multi-color displays and optical information processing to lighting. Polymers have the advantage over inorganic and monomolecular materials in the ease with which thin, structurally robust and large area films can be perpared from solutions. Using printing techniques, patterned structures can be produced easily. Even flexible displays can be produced because of the good mechanical properties of polymers. In this lab course, basic optical and electrical properties of conjugated polymers will be investigated. Advanced Lab Course: Electroluminescence of Polymers 2 EXPERIMENTAL TASKS Measure the absorption spectra of your polymers (thin films spin coated onto glass substrates). Characterize the setup used for luminescence measurements. Identify possible sources of error and collect data necessary for their correction. Measure the photoluminescence emission spectra for the polymer films, using suitable excitation wavelengths. Measure the photoluminescence excitation spectra for the polymer films, using suitable detection wavelengths. Measure the current through the OLEDs and the spectral radiant intensity of electroluminescence as a function of applied voltage (the current-radiance-voltage characteristics).

Shahed Hossen1, Md. Tazul Islam2,* and Sabir Hossain3 1-3Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, CUET, Bangladesh [email protected],2,*[email protected],[email protected] Abstract- In recent times due to effects of pollution and global warming there is a need for generating power from renewable sources. The reason for generating power using gravity is that it is available all over the Earth, abundant and consistent too. In this project, the gravitational energy of a heavy particle is converted to the electrical energy. When the heavy particle falls down from a higher altitude to a lower one, its potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy. Then this energy is converted to electricity by using a synchronous motor. With the increasing of the altitude of the load, the lighting time increases. If load increases, power production also increases, but the lighting time decreases.

  • White Light Emission from Fluorescent Sic with Porous Surface
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN White Light Emission from Fluorescent SiC with Porous Surface Weifang Lu1, Yiyu Ou 1, Elisabetta Maria Fiordaliso2, Yoshimi Iwasa3, Valdas Jokubavicius4, Mikael Syväjärvi4, Satoshi Kamiyama3, Paul Michael Petersen1 & Haiyan Ou1 Received: 24 May 2017 We report for the frst time a NUV light to white light conversion in a N-B co-doped 6H-SiC (fuorescent Accepted: 14 August 2017 SiC) layer containing a hybrid structure. The surface of fuorescent SiC sample contains porous Published: xx xx xxxx structures fabricated by anodic oxidation method. After passivation by 20 nm thick Al2O3, the photoluminescence intensity from the porous layer was signifcant enhanced by a factor of more than 12. Using a porous layer of moderate thickness (~10 µm), high-quality white light emission was realized by combining the independent emissions of blue-green emission from the porous layer and yellow emission from the bulk fuorescent SiC layer. A high color rendering index of 81.1 has been achieved. Photoluminescence spectra in porous layers fabricated in both commercial n-type and lab grown N-B co-doped 6H-SiC show two emission peaks centered approximately at 460 nm and 530 nm. Such blue- green emission phenomenon can be attributed to neutral oxygen vacancies and interface C-related surface defects generated dring anodic oxidation process. Porous fuorescent SiC can ofer a great fexibility in color rendering by changing the thickness of porous layer and bulk fuorescent layer. Such a novel approach opens a new perspective for the development of high performance and rare-earth element free white light emitting materials.

  • Properties of Light Library Document
    Light + Air North America Properties of Light Library Document 2 Properties Library Document of Light Properties of Light Light as energy The other way of representing light is as a wave phenomenon. This is somewhat more difficult for most people to understand, but Light is remarkable. It is something we take for granted every day, perhaps an analogy with sound waves will be useful. When you play but it is not something we stop and think about very often or even a high note and a low note on the piano, they both produce sound, try to define. Let us take a few minutes and try to understand but the main thing that is different between the two notes is the some things about light. Simply stated, light is nature’s way frequency of the vibrating string producing the sound waves--the of transferring energy through space. We can complicate it by faster the vibration the higher the pitch of the note. If we now shift talking about interacting electric and magnetic fields, quantum our focus to the sound waves themselves instead of the vibrating mechanics and all of that, but just remember, light is energy. Light string, we would find that the higher pitched notes have shorter travels very rapidly, but it does have a finite velocity. In vacuum, wavelengths, or distances between each successive wave. Likewise the speed of light is 186,282 miles per second (or nearly 300,000 (and restricting ourselves to optical light for the moment), blue kilometers per second), which is really humming along! However, light and red light are both just light, but the blue light has a higher when we start talking about the incredible distances in astronomy, frequency of vibration (or a shorter wavelength) than the red light.

Polygonal Al nanoparticles were fabricated on the top surfaces of the deep-UV LEDs using the oblique-angle deposition method. Both the top- and Correspondence and bottom-emission electroluminescence of deep-UV LEDs with 279 nm multiple-quantum-well emissions requests for materials can be effectively enhanced by the coupling with the LSP generated in the Al nanoparticles. The primary should be addressed to bottom-emission wavelength is longer than the primary top-emission wavelength. This difference in K.H.
