Distance-Engineered Plasmon-Enhanced Light Harvesting in CdSe Quantum Dots
Improvement of light harvesting in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is essential for the development of efficient QD-based solar energy conversion systems. In this study, plasmonenhanced light absorption in CdSe QDs sensitized on silver (Ag) nanoparticle (NP) films was examined as a function of interparticle (QD to Ag NP) distance. Up to 24-fold plasmonic enhancement of fluorescence from QDs wa...
متن کاملQuantum entanglement in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes
Light-harvesting components of photosynthetic organisms are complex, coupled, many-body quantum systems, in which electronic coherence has recently been shown to survive for relatively long timescales, despite the decohering effects of their environments. Here, we analyse entanglement in multichromophoric light-harvesting complexes, and establish methods for quantification of entanglement by de...
متن کاملQuantum Coherence in Photosynthetic Light Harvesting
Recent two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopic experiments revealed that electronic energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting involves long-lived quantum coherence among electronic excitations of pigments. These findings have led to the suggestion that quantum coherence might play a role in achieving the remarkable quantum efficiency of photosynthetic light harvesting. Further, t...
متن کاملQuantum modeling of light absorption in graphene based photo-transistors
Graphene based optical devices are highly recommended and interested for integrated optical circuits. As a main component of an optical link, a photodetector based on graphene nano-ribbons is proposed and studied. A quantum transport model is presented for simulation of a graphene nano-ribbon (GNR) -based photo-transistor based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method. In the proposed model a...
متن کاملModelling of High Quantum Efficiency Avalanche Photodiode
A model of a low noise high quantum efficiency n+np Germanium Photodiode utilizing ion implantation technique and subsequent drive-in diffusion in the n layer is presented. Numerical analysis is used to study the influence of junction depth and bulk concentration on the electric field profile and quantum efficiency. The performance of the device is theoretically treated especially at the wave-l...
