    查看更多>>摘要:Carbon dots are emerging luminescent nanomaterials that have drawnconsiderable attention due to their abundance, environmental friendliness, andcustomizable optical properties。 However, their susceptibility to temperatureinducedvibrational exciton changes and the tendency to thermal quenching ofemission have hindered their practical applications。 Here, a method is reportedfor achieving high-temperature photoluminescence carbonized polymer dots(CPDs) through a bi-confinement approach that involves a highly cross-linkedpolymer network and a rigid Al_2O_3 matrix。 As the temperature increased from303 to 500 K, the fluorescence and phosphorescence emission intensitiesof CPDs@Al_2O_3 remained virtually unchanged, with the emission durationexceeding 150 h at 500 K。 Additionally, CPDs@Al_2O_3 composites with differentdegrees of carbonization exhibit dynamic excitation-dependent photoluminescenceproperties, which can be patterned for multiple information encryptionapplication。 This work provides a concept for designing stable and luminousCPDs under harsh conditions, thus expanding their potential application range。

    查看更多>>摘要:The ability to electrically manipulate spin states in magnetic materials isessential for the advancement of energy-efficient spintronic device, which istypically achieved in systems composed of a spin source and a magnetictarget, where the magnetic state of the target is altered by a charge current。While theories suggest that ferromagnets could function as more versatilespin sources, direct experimental studies involving only the spin source andtarget layers have been lacking。 Here electrical manipulation of spin states innoncolinear antiferromagnet Mn_3Sn using ferromagnets (Ni, Fe, NiFe, CoFeB)as the spin sources is reported。 Both field-free switching and switching withan assistive field are achieved in Mn3Sn/ferromagnet bilayers, where theswitching polarity correlates with the sign of anomalous Hall effect of theferromagnets。 The experimental findings can be accounted for by thepresence of spin currents arising from spin-dependent scattering within theferromagnets。 This finding provides valuable insights into the underlyingmechanisms of spin-conversion in ferromagnets, offering an alternative spinsource for novel technological applications。

    查看更多>>摘要:Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on hyperfluorescent systemhave attracted widespread attention due to their ability to simultaneouslyachieve improvements in efficiency, lifetime, and color purity by combiningthe advantages of high exciton utilization sensitizers and high-color purityemitters。 Traditional hyperfluorescent systems typically involve three or fourcomponents and are severely sensitive to the doping concentration (≈0。5wt%) of a terminal emitter, which inevitably causes high costs and difficultiesin reproducibility。 Here, a novel design concept for a matrix-free hyperfluorescent(MFHF) system that employs a combination of an anti-quenchingTADF host and a high color purity MR-TADF emitter is proposed。 This strategyallows traditional concentration-sensitive MR-TADF emitters to significantlyimprove exciton utilization and reduce exciton lifetime at high doping levels,without the need for complex molecular modifications。 The OLEDs withbinary emissive layer achieve pure-green emission, a maximum externalquantum efficiency of over 30%, and a high maximum power efficiency of145 lm W~(−1)。 The approach offers a straightforward and universal method toachieve anti-quenching matrix-free hyperfluorescent OLEDs with high colorpurity, making them promising for commercial applications in low-costultra-high-definition (UHD) displays。
