Subpicosecond near-infrared fluorescence upconversion study of relaxation processes in PbSe quantum dots

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Camilla Bonati

The (sub)-ps relaxation processes in PbSe quantum dots of different sizes were measured by near-IR luminescence upconversion. The early-time spectra are characterized by emission from several low-lying excited states. The direct measurement of the Huang-Rh ...

An artificial molecular switch that mimics the visual pigment and completes its photocycle in picoseconds

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Stefan Haacke

Single mols. that act as light-energy transducers (e.g., converting the energy of a photon into at.-level mech. motion) are examples of minimal mol. devices. Here, we focus on a mol. switch designed by merging a conformationally locked diarylidene skeleton ...
