Conventional 2D plasmonic structures, with surface coverage ~50%, provide field enhancement in the plane. The proposed 3D nanoplasmonic surfaces, with unity coverage, achieve 7.2-fold stronger out-of-plane enhancement ...

This chapter is reprinted (adapted) with permission from Ref. [1]. Copyright 2014 American Chemical Society. Here, we present the theoretical framework of generalized Förster-type nonradiative energy transfer (FRET) between ...

Efficient conversion from Mott-Wannier to Frenkel excitons at room temperature is observed in hybrid inorganic/organic composites of CdSe/ZnS core/shell heteronanocrystals in MDMO-PPV homopolymers at a rate of 0.2628 ns-1 ...

We review our research work on the development of photonic devices and systems embedded with nanocyrstals for new functionality within EU Phoremost Network of Excellence on nanophotonics. Here we report on CdSe/ZnS ...

We investigate quantum efficiency (QE) enhancement via recycling of trapped excitons in energy-gradient of quantum dot solids using nonradiative energy transfer. The maximum QE increase of 17% is achieved when the ...

Summary form only given. Inverted Type-I quantum rings (QRs) are a recently developed class of nanostructure in which a lower bandgap material is laterally grown as a crown of same thickness around a higher bandgap ...

Full visible range covering InP/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals with high photometric performance have been prepared. Making use of these nanocrystals, we demonstrate a white quantum dot LED with a high color rendering index ...

We present hybrid white light sources that integrate CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals on blue InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LED). We report on the demonstrations of white light generation using yellow nanocrystals ...
