Article Abstract

To restrain the saturation behavior in low voltage cathodoluminescence, a small amount of carbon nano-tubes (CNT) was introduced into the phosphor to form CNT-introduced phosphor material. In the specific working conditions in low voltage cathodoluminescence, the field enhancement effect is initiated in the CNT-introduced phosphor material, and the local electric fields surrounding the top of each CNT is much stronger than the background electric field. The CNTs, with enhanced local electric fields surrounding their tops, play a key role in removing the electrons in the phosphor material, in which the CNTs act as convenient channels for electrons to be removed in cathodoluminescence. By introducing a small amount of CNTs into the phosphor, the saturation behavior in low voltage cathodoluminescence is effectively restrained, which has a similar effect as improving the conductivity of the phosphor material. The field enhancement effect in the CNT-introduced phosphor material may be activated and become more effective when the applied current density in cathodoluminescence is increased, thus the dynamic performance of the CNT-introduced phosphor material is favorable in low voltage cathodoluminescence.

The synergistic effect of various ions with optical properties is an important method to regulate the Er ion upconversion luminescence process. However, the energy processes between them are complicated and difficult to separate, and it is challenging to clarify the results of each process when multiple ions are co-doped. Herein, a series of NaYF:Er were synthesized by the low-temperature combustion method, and the luminescence color of Er ions was modulated by doping Yb ions and Tm ions.

Liquid is the most flexible state of condensed matter and shows promise as a functional soft material. However, these same characteristics make it challenging to achieve efficient room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from metal-free organic molecular liquids. Herein, we report efficient RTP from liquefied thienyl diketones bearing one or two dimethyloctylsilyl (DMOS) substituents.

Rare-earth ions (REIs), especially trivalent lanthanides (Ln ), are central to photonic technologies due to sharp intra-4f transitions, long lifetimes, and host-insensitive emission. However, modeling REIs remains challenging due to localized 4f orbitals, strong electron correlation, and multiplet structures. This review summarizes atomistic modeling strategies combining quantum chemistry and machine learning (ML).

Anomalous NIR emission has been reported in Cr-doped SrPO, despite the Cr ions occupying nonstandard nine-coordinated Sr sites. Through first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that these environments induce structural distortions and nonradiative relaxation channels, effectively quenching luminescence. Photoluminescence data and energetic analysis instead attribute the observed emission (∼840 nm) to a coexisting phase, Sr(PO), where Cr substitutes for six-coordinated Sr, which is successfully verified in experiment.

Multimodal imaging provides comprehensive and precise tools that significantly increase the efficiency and accuracy in clinical decision-making. The integration of superior multimodal imaging capabilities with stimuli-responsive drug release functionalities within a single nanoplatform holds crucial promise for both scientific exploration and clinical translation but remains a formidable challenge in advancing precision medicine. The unique integration of near-infrared emission (λ = 760 nm), multiwavelength-rechargeable afterglow, photostimulated luminescence under 980 nm excitation, and Gd⁺-specific ferromagnetism is highlighted in NaGdTiO:Cr,Sn phosphor.
