A facile and efficient synthesis of a solution-processable MoO3/MoS2 featuring uniformly decorated MoO3 nanoparticles onto exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets is realized via a one-step oxidation and spontaneous exfoliation method using hydrogen peroxide. By using MoO3/MoS2 as a hole extraction layer in organic solar cells, high efficiencies, regardless of annealing conditions of the interfacial layer, and excellent long-term stability are demonstrated.

We present a photoluminescence study of freestanding and Si/SiO2 supported single- and few-layer MoS2. The single-layer exciton peak (A) is only observed in freestanding MoS2. The photoluminescence of supported single-layer MoS2 instead originates from the A− (trion) peak as the MoS2 is n-type doped...

We perform a comprehensive first-principles study of the electronic properties of van der Waals (vdW) trilayers via intercalating a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer (ML = BN, MoSe2, WS2, or WSe2) between a MoS2 bilayer to form various MoS2/ML/MoS2 sandwich trilayers.

We present zero-, one-, and two-quantum two-dimensional coherent spectra of excitons and trions in a CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum well. The set of spectra provides a unique and comprehensive picture of the coherent nonlinear optical response. Distinct peaks in the spectra are manifestations of exciton-exc...

The photoemission spectrum of graphite is still debated. To help resolve this issue, we present photoemission measurements at high photon energy and analyze the results using a Green's function approach that takes into account the full complexity of the loss spectrum. Our measured data show multiple...

We demonstrate the basic features of an all-optical spin tomography on picosecond time scale. The magnetization vector associated with a mode-locked electron spin ensemble in singly charged quantum dots is traced by ellipticity measurements using picosecond laser pulses. After optical orientation th...

Compared to electrons, holes in InAs quantum dots have a significantly weaker hyperfine interaction that leads to less dephasing from nuclear spins. Thus many recent studies have suggested that nuclear spins are unimportant for hole-spin dynamics compared to electric-field fluctuations. We show that...

The photo- and electroluminescence properties of CdSe-TOPO quantum dots (QDs) doped into a PVK:PBD host matrix with a double-layer device configuration [PEDOT:PSS/PVK:PBD/QDs/LiF/Al] are investigated. Both the concentration and applied bias voltage are found to be important tuneable factors in the emitted colors.
