We present a review on the emerging materials for novel plasmonic colloidal nanocrystals.
We start by explaining the basic processes involved in surface plasmon resonances in …

In both light emitting devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), and light absorbing
devices such as solar cells (also photodetectors), which are gaining considerable interest for …

The Tauc plot is a method originally developed to derive the optical gap of amorphous
semiconductors such as amorphous germanium or silicon. By measuring the absorption …

The Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency can be overcome if hot carriers can be
harvested before they thermalize. Recently, carrier cooling time up to 100 picoseconds was …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) Sn-based perovskites are a kind of non-toxic environment-
friendly luminescent material. However, the research on the luminescence mechanism of …

In the present work, a novel ZnO/ZnS/gC 3 N 4 ternary nanocomposite with double Z-
scheme heterojunction has been designed via a two-step facile chemical conversion route …

Plasmonic nanocrystals have been attracting a lot of attention both for fundamental studies
and different applications, from sensing to imaging and optoelectronic devices. Transparent …

ZnO‐based transparent conductive thin films have attracted much attention as a promising
substitute material to the currently used indium‐tin‐oxide thin films in transparent electrode …

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films of∼ 100 nm thickness with various Al do** were prepared at
150 C by atomic layer deposition on quartz substrates. At low Al do**, the films were …

Optical absorption edge measurements are performed on I doped PbTe using diffuse
reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The Burstein–Moss shift, an increase in …
