Article Abstract
Among colloidal nanocrystals, 2D nanoplatelets (NPLs) made of II-VI compounds appear as a special class of emitters with an especially narrow photoluminescence signal. However, the PL signal in the case of NPLs is only tunable by a discrete step. Here, we demonstrate that doping is a viable path to finely tune the color of these NPLs from green to red, making them extremely interesting as phosphors for wide-gamut display. In addition, using a combination of luminescence spectroscopy, tight-binding simulation, transport, and photoemission, we provide a consistent picture for the Ag-doped CdSe NPLs. The Ag-activated state is strongly bound and located 340 meV above the valence band of the bulk material. The Ag dopant induces a relative shift of the Fermi level toward the valence band by up to 400 meV but preserves the n-type nature of the material.

Impact of sodium hydroxide treatment on commercial cellulose nanocrystals: Investigating the structure and optical property of self-assembled film.

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used to treat commercially available cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to tune CNC surface charge and investigate its effect on the self-assembly in a solid film. A structure-property relationship was investigated through morphology, mechanical and thermal properties, and optical properties determination. We observed the formation of a completely oriented structure through SEM imaging, the presence of a nematic domain through cross-polarized microscopy, and a completely transparent CNC film with no trace of structural color or iridescence.

The use of higher-resolution spatial aerial images for semantic segmentation in everyday tasks has increased due to recent advancements in remote sensing and several other applications. Nonetheless, supervised learning necessitates a substantial quantity of images with pixel-level labeling. Currently, available techniques, which are mostly Deep Semantic Segmentation Networks (DSSN), might not be appropriate for application domains with a dearth of labels containing targeted masks of outputs.

However, further improvement of the brightness and purity of colors originating from optical interference or nanophotonic resonances remains challenging due to inevitable losses and sidebands in such a design. Here, we show that in-band gap topologically protected state colors (TPSCs) that reside at the interface between layered thin films in the extended model with different Zak phases are ideal candidates for high-brightness transmissive colors due to the low loss characteristic from topology.

Dynamic visual appearance, from the capacity of organisms to rapidly alter color or pattern of the body, is typically achieved through physiological color-change and/or bioluminescence. Since these processes often tune appearance to changing ecological conditions, even small errors in performance may impact fitness. Recent discoveries in the field of photobiology have led to an emerging hypothesis that photoreceptive systems associated with appearance-altering tissues function in the self-assessment of dynamic visual appearance.
