Electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) imaging have recently been demonstrated to be fast experimental techniques that allow measurement of the spatial distribution of the diffusion length in silicon solar cells and of the minority carrier lifetime in large area silicon wafers [1, 2]. A practical advantage of these techniques is that data acquisition times for high resolution lumin...

The involvement of long chain aldehyde in bacterial luminescence was known both from its being required for light emission in the in vitro reaction with pure luciferase and from its ability to stimulate luminescence in vivo in a certain class of dark "aldehyde" mutants. We have found that the luminescence of some (but not all) of such aldehyde mutants is also stimulated by long chain aliphatic ...

Luminescence-based waveguide is widely investigated as a promising alternative to conquer the difficulties of efficiently coupling light into a waveguide. But applications have been still limited due to employing blue or ultraviolet light as excitation source with the lower penetration depth leading to a weak guided light. Here, we show a quasi-one-dimensional propagation of luminescence and th...

The luminescence spectral and kinetic characteristics of CsPbCl3 nanocrystals, thermally created in a CsCl:Pb single crystal and dispersed in a CsCl matrix, have been studied under excitation by synchrotron radiation in the VUV spectral region (4 to 20 eV). Various components found in the decay kinetics of the 2.98 eV emission have been connected with the direct excitation of the CsPbCl3 lumine...

Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) hold great promise for the detection and imaging of biomolecules. Herein, we have demonstrated a novel nanoprobe, based on the manganese dioxide (MnO2 )-modified PLNPs, that can detect and image glutathione in living cells and in vivo. The persistent luminescence of the PLNPs can be efficiently quenched by the MnO2 nanosheets. In the presence of glu...

An analysis is presented of optical absorption and emission in semiconducting, metallic, and mixed coreshell nanowires are considered theoretically. Due to image forces caused by the difference in dielectric constants between nanowires and their environment, absorption and emission coefficients are different for light polarized parallel or perpendicular to the nanowire axis. As a result, the in...

Luminescence color multiplexing is one of the most intriguing benefits, which might occur by using semiconductor Quantum Dots (QDs) as labels for biomolecules. It was found, that the luminescence of QDs can be quenched, and replaced by a luminescence peak at approximately 460 nm on hybridization with certain regions of Arabidopsis thaliana tissue. This effect is site selective, and it is unclea...

Quadratic rotation-orthogonal composite experimental design was applied in this experiment to obtain the ultraweak luminescence property of mint affected by multilateral growth environmental factors including illumination, temperature, humidity, and moisture. The influence models of four factors on luminescence were established. Analysis showed that different factors and their interactions had ...

-The adsorption of Sn(IV)TPyP (mesotetrapyridylporphyrin) in sodium hectorite was studied using ultraviolet-visible and luminescence spectroscopy. The adsorbed complex was found to demetallate forming the TPyP dication as the clay is dehydrated. This process was found to be reversible indicating that the Sn 4+ ion remains in the vicinity of the porphyrin upon demetallation. The luminescence spe...

UNLABELLED Bacterial bioluminescence is taxonomically restricted to certain proteobacteria, many of which belong to the Vibrionaceae. In the most well-studied cases, pheromone signaling plays a key role in regulation of light production. However, previous reports have indicated that certain Photobacterium strains do not use this regulatory method for controlling luminescence. In this study, we ...
