Three kinds of core-shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles with shell thickness of around 10, 15, and 25nm, respectively, have been prepared by modified Stöber method and used for fluorescence enhancement. Six kinds of europium complexes with halobenzoic acid have been synthesized. Elemental analysis and lant

The strong light emission and absorption exhibited by single atomic layer transitional metal dichalcogenides in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range make them attractive for optoelectronic applications. In this work, using two-pulse photovoltage correlation technique, we show that monolayer

The vibrational deactivation of metal-centered excited states is one of the fundamental processes that governs the luminescence of inorganic luminophores. In molecular lanthanoid luminescence, the most reliable way to modulate and systematically investigate these processes is deuteration of X-H stre
