The word "exciton" in example sentences

Similarly, the largest quenching effect in OLEDs, called exciton-charge quenching, reduces the number of excitons, and occurs due to a spatial overlap of excitons and charges. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So far, they have only managed to prevent one type of quenching called exciton-metal quenching, which was done by moving the light-emitting area further away from the electrodes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Previously, the effects of dielectric confinement have been investigated theoretically for the role they play in defining the optical properties of nanostructures, such as exciton binding energies, while the impact on electrical characteristics has largely been neglected partly due to the misconception that the relevant length scale still falls into the ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the material, the procedure produced quasiparticles called exciton polaritons, which form when photons of light and electrons collide. ❋ Unknown (2006)

That was a brilliant report delivered by E.F. Gross about the discovery of the exciton. ❋ Unknown (2001)

However, Nozik notes that, despite some controversy, recent studies have shown that the rate of MEG can be much faster than the hot exciton cooling rate, resulting in an overall higher efficiency of electron-hole pair multiplication. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The article, "Quantum oscillatory exciton migration in photosynthetic reaction centers" by ❋ Unknown (2010)

This is where the quantum confinement effects become very useful, as the effects couple photogenerated electrons and holes into bound electron-hole pairs called excitons, and encourage the efficient formation of more than one exciton from a single absorbed photon. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But the biggest drawback to using OLEDs for light display applications is that they intrinsically suffer from photon loss and exciton quenching. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In quantum dots. the process is called multiple exciton generation (MEG). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Also, the light-emitting region is physically separated from the charge flows, which prevents exciton-charge quenching. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For one, the light-formation and light-emitting regions are located far enough away from the electrodes so that photon losses at the electrodes and exciton-metal quenching are prevented. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In the research published in this week's Nature, the researchers used hybrid metal/semiconductor nanostructures developed through this process to experimentally demonstrate "tunable resonant coupling" between a plasmon (from metal core) and an exciton ❋ Unknown (2010)
