The second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1400 nm) is ideal for fluorescence imaging. We report a facile synthesis approach to prepare Mn5+ doped Ba3(MO4)2 (M = V, P) nanoparticles with emission in the NIR-II region for the first time.
We formulate coherence retrieval, the process of recovering via intensity measurements the two-point correlation function of a partially coherent field, as a convex weighted least-squares problem and show that it can be solved with a novel iterated descent algorithm using a coherent-modes factorization of the mutual intensity. This algorithm is more memory-efficient than the standard interior point methods used to solve convex problems, and we verify its feasibility by reconstructing the mutual intensity of a Schell-model source from both simulated data and experimental measurements.
Ultrafast pump‐probe spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for deep insight into sophisticated electron–hole dynamics for materials development and devices optimization, particularly for emerging metal halide perovskites (hereafter, termed perovskites), due to their great potentials for optoelectronic and photonic applications in solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. Recently, flourishing spin‐related photophysical phenomena (such as, Rashba effect, optical Stark effect, and magnetooptical effect) in perovskites and their relevant devices have experimentally been observed, attributed to huge spin‐orbital coupling effect and strong interaction of electron–photon in perovskites. However, fundamental understanding of spin‐dependent photophysics in perovskites is still at its nascent stage. In recent few years, circularly‐polarized ultrafast pump‐probe technique has pushed burgeoning development of spin‐selective photophysics in perovskites for spintronic device applications. Nevertheless, few review papers summarize this emerging field systematically, completely, and insightfully. Herein, to evoke broader attraction and research interest, recent advances in spin‐quantum dynamics in perovskites revealed by circularly‐polarized pump‐probe technique are reviewed: from the fundamentals and theories of circularly‐polarized ultrafast pump‐probe transient absorption and time‐resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy; to the recent enlightening works on spin relaxation dynamics, spin‐selective exciton optical Stark effect, magnetic spin effect, and spin polarization dynamics. Finally, current challenges and perspectives are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
