A crucial variable for methodical performance evaluation and comparison of luminescent
reporters is the photoluminescence quantum yield (Φ pl). This quantity, defined as the …

Inorganic carbon nanomaterials, also called carbon nanodots, exhibit a strong
photoluminescence with unusual properties and, thus, have been the focus of intense …

Overcoming the challenges of patterning luminescent materials will unlock additive and
more sustainable paths for the manufacturing of next-generation on-chip photonic devices …

The discovery of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has revolutionized our ability to
measure inter-and intramolecular distances on the nanometre scale using fluorescence …

Single-molecule fluorescence imaging has become an indispensable tool for almost all
fields of research, from fundamental physics to the life sciences. Among its most important …

While single-molecule fluorescence from emitters with high quantum efficiencies such as

At present, there is no consensus understanding on the origin of photoluminescence of
carbon nanoparticles, particularly the so-called carbon dots. Providing comparative analysis …

One of the key photophysical properties of fluorescent proteins that is most difficult to
measure is the quantum yield. It describes how efficiently a fluorophore converts absorbed …

We present a new method for determining absolute values of quantum yield of luminescent
emitters, which is based on the modification of the radiative transition of emitters within a …

One of the key phenomena that determine the fluorescence of nanocrystals is the
nonradiative Auger-Meitner recombination of excitons. This nonradiative rate affects the …
