Optically active molecular materials, such as organic conjugated polymers and biological
systems, are characterized by strong coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of …

Energy will be one of the most important factors to influence human society in the 21st
century. 1, 2 Cost, availability, and sustainability of energy have a significant impact on the …

Most organic piezochromic materials exhibit red-shifted and quenched emission as pressure
increases. However, an abnormal phenomenon of pressure-induced blue-shifted and …

In natural light-harvesting (LH) assemblies, the light-absorbing chromophores are organized
in a specific geometry and encapsulated within the soft gel-like biological tissues. Fast …

Conjugated polymers are becoming interesting materials for a range of optoelectronic
applications. However, their often complex electronic and structural properties prevent …

The exploration of emerging functionalized quantum dots (QDs) through modulating the
effective interaction between the sensing element and target analyte is of great significance …

Abstract π‐conjugated polymers find a range of applications in electronic devices. These
materials are generally highly disordered in terms of chain length and chain conformation …

In order to understand exciton migration and fluorescence intensity fluctuation mechanisms
in conjugated polymer single molecules, we studied fluorescence decay dynamics at “on” …

Supramolecular π-gels were formed in a mixture of aliphatic alcohols and water for a series
of chromophoric phenylenedivinylene bis-N-alkyl pyridinium salts (PPV) appended with …

We use a novel fluorescence polarization microscope in combination with molecular
dynamics calculations to determine the conformation of individual isolated chains of the …
