Photophysical Characterisation of Perovskite Quantum Dots

Perovskite Quantum Dots are a promising new class of light emitters. In this application note a complete photophysical characterisation, comprising of absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra, photoluminescence lifetime, and quantum yield of two perovskite quantum dots is carried out using the versatile FS5 Spectrofluorometer.

Photogenerated Excited States in Solubillized Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes; Transient Absorption and Oxygen Dependence of the Triplet

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) feature immense tensile and thermal strength with advantageous 1-dimensional molecular wire electronic properties. The Edinburgh Instruments LP980 Transient Absorption Spectrometer is well suited to study these photo-generated excited states, especially with the capability to add near-infrared (NIR) detectors needed to capture the transient species in these materials.

Luminescence Thermometry with Upconversion Materials

Many upconversion luminescent materials emissive properties change as a function of temperature, pressure, or the presence of a chemical species. Such properties have long been exploited in the development of luminescence-based sensors. In this application note, we discuss how the use of luminescence thermometry changes the emissive properties of upconversion materials.

Application Note: Time-Resolved Electroluminescence Spectroscopy of a White Light Emitting Diode

One of the most powerful techniques to understand the behaviour and performance of electrical devices is electroluminescence spectroscopy. In this application note the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer is used to investigate the emission properties of a phosphor coated indium gallium nitride white light LED using both steady state and time-resolved electroluminescence spectroscopy.

Application Note: Temperature-Dependent Absolute Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) Measurements of a Halide Perovskite

One of the most important photophysical parameters of perovskites for optoelectronic applications is the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). In this application note the temperature dependence of the PLQY of CsPbBr3 perovskite is investigated using the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer equipped with the Cryosphere accessory.
