Terahertz emission from CdHgTe/HgTe quantum wells with an inverted band structure

The terahertz electroluminescence from Cd_0.7Hg_0.3Te/HgTe quantum wells with an inverted band structure in lateral electric fields is experimentally detected and studied. The emission-spectrum maximum for wells 6.5 and 7 nm wide is near 6 meV which corresponds to interband optical transitions. The emission is explained by state depletion in the valence band and conduction band filling due to Zener tunneling, which is confirmed by power-law current–voltage characteristics.

Taming Charge Transport in Semiconducting Polymers with Branched Alkyl Side Chains

The solid‐state packing and polymer orientation relative to the substrate are key properties to control in order to achieve high charge carrier mobilities in organic field effect transistors (OFET). Intuitively, shorter side chains are expected to yield higher charge carrier mobilities because of a denser solid state packing motif and a higher ratio of charge transport moieties. However our findings suggest that the polymer chain orientation plays a crucial role in high‐performing diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based polymers. By synthesizing a series of DPP‐based polymers with different branched alkyl side chain lengths, it is shown that the polymer orientation depends on the branched alkyl chain lengths and that the highest carrier mobilities are obtained only if the polymer adopts a mixed face‐on/edge‐on orientation, which allows the formation of 3D carrier channels in an otherwise edge‐on‐oriented polymer chain network. Time‐of‐flight measurements performed on the various polymer films support this hypothesis by showing higher out‐of‐plane carrier mobilities for the partially face‐on‐oriented polymers. Additionally, a favorable morphology is mimicked by blending a face‐on polymer into an exclusively edge‐on oriented polymer, resulting in higher charge carrier mobilities and opening up a new avenue for the fabrication of high performing OFET devices.     

Unprecedented Homoleptic Bis‐Tridentate Iridium(III) Phosphors: Facile,Scaled‐Up Production,and Superior Chemical Stability

Bis‐tridentate Ir(III) metal complexes are expected to show great potential in organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) applications due to the anticipated, superb chemical and photochemical stability. Unfortunately, their exploitation has long been hampered by lack of adequate methodology and with inferior synthetic yields. This hurdle can be overcome by design of the first homoleptic, bis‐tridentate Ir(III) complex [Ir(pzpyph)(pz^Hpyph)] ( 1 ), for which the abbreviation (pzpyph)H (or pz^Hpyph) stands for the parent 2‐pyrazolyl‐6‐phenyl pyridine chelate. After that, methylation and double methylation of 1 afford the charge‐neutral Ir(III) complex [Ir(pzpyph)(pz^Mepyph)] ( 2 ) and cationic complex [Ir(pz^Mepyph)₂][PF₆] ( 3 ), while deprotonation of 1 gives formation of anionic [Ir(pzpyph)₂][NBu₄] ( 4 ), all in high yields. These bis‐tridentate Ir(III) complexes 2 – 4 are highly emitted in solution and solid states, while the charge‐neutral 2 and corresponding t ‐butyl substituted derivative [Ir(pzpy^Buph)(pz^Mepy^Buph)] ( 5 ) exhibit superior photostability versus the tris‐bidentate references [Ir(ppy)₂(acac)] and [Ir(ppy)₃] in toluene under argon, making them ideal OLED emitters. For the track record, phosphor 5 gives very small efficiency roll‐off and excellent overall efficiencies of 20.7%, 66.8 cd A^?1, and 52.8 lm W^?1 at high brightness of 1000 cd m^?2. These results are expected to inspire further studies on the bis‐tridentate Ir(III) complexes, which are judged to be more stable than their tris‐bidentate counterparts from the entropic point of view.     

Hydrogen‐Bonding‐Assisted Intermolecular Charge Transfer: A New Strategy to Design Single‐Component White‐Light‐Emitting Materials

This study reveals the mechanism of the dual‐emission properties for asymmetrical diphenylsulfone and diphenylketone derivatives. A series of asymmetrical diphenylketone and diphenylsulfone derivatives with dual‐emission properties are designed and synthesized. By single crystal structure analyses, various photophysical studies, and 2D ¹H–¹H NOSEY NMR studies, the lower energy emission bands in the dual‐emission spectra are successfully assigned to hydrogen‐bonding‐assisted intermolecular charge transfer emission. The emission properties of these compounds can easily be tuned in both solid state and solution state by destroying or strengthening the intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In addition, thermally activated delayed fluorescence characteristics for the intermolecular charge transfer emissions are also observed. The control of the intermolecular and intramolecular charge transfers serves as the basis for the generation of the white‐light emission. For compound CPzPO, nearly pure white‐light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.32) is easily achieved by precipitation from dichloromethane and hexane mixed solvent system. These results clearly give an insight into the dual‐emission properties and provide a rational strategy for the design and synthesis of single‐component white‐light‐emitting materials and mechanoresponsive light‐emitting materials.     

Terahertz Spectra of Ninhydrin and Indane-1,2,3-Trione

Distinctive terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of ninhydrin and indane-1,2,3-trione ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 THz were observed firstly in our experiment by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The dehydration process of ninhydrin was also monitored online. The experimental results indicate that THz spectroscopy is highly sensitive to the crystal structure, weak intermolecular interactions, and the environmental change. Multitechniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) were also carried out to further investigate ninhydrin and indane-1,2,3-trione. And the results support the reliability of THz spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the samples’ crystalline structures were performed for better understanding the THz characteristic spectra. The calculations agree with the experimental observation, and the corresponding vibrational modes of ninhydrin and indane-1,2,3-trione are assigned.

Highly Efficient Three Primary Color Organic Single‐Crystal Light‐Emitting Devices with Balanced Carrier Injection and Transport

Organic single crystals have a great potential in the field of organic optoelectronics because of their advantages of high carrier mobility and high thermal stability. However, the application of the organic single crystals in light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) has been limited by single‐layered structure with unbalanced carrier injection and transport. Here, fabrication of a multilayered‐structure crystal‐based OLED constitutes a major step toward balanced carrier injection and transport by introducing an anodic buffer layer and electron transport layer into the device structure. Three primary color single‐crystal‐based OLEDs based on the multilayered structure and molecular doping exhibit a maximum luminance and current efficiency of 820 cd cm^?2 and 0.9 cd A^?1, respectively, which are the highest performance to date for organic single‐crystal‐based OLEDs. This work paves the way toward high‐performance organic optoelectronic devices based on the organic single crystals.
