However, their integration into commercial technologies continues to face critical challenges, most notably, the enhancement of photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) at the material level and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) at the device level. Although recent advances in colloidal synthesis and surface engineering have led to significant improvements in PLQY, effectively transferring these enhancements to achieve high EQE in QLEDs remains a major hurdle due to limitations in charge injection, charge balance, and interfacial losses. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in InP QD development, focusing on key advancements in colloidal synthesis, core/shell engineering, charge transport layers, interfacial modification, and carrier dynamics. The historical evolution of InP QDs from their initial synthesis in 1989 to their growing role in QLEDs post‐2011 is examined in detail, along with persistent issues such as parasitic emission, charge imbalance, and device instability. Finally, the review explores emerging applications in flexible electronics, wearable displays, a nd high‐resolution LED arrays, and suggests future research directions aimed at enhancing efficiency, stability, and scalability for commercial deployment.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145002819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By considering the gravitational shockwaves sourced by Reissner-Nordström black holes, we derive new constraints in the presence of gravity. We observe the by-now familiar weakening of positivity bounds in the presence of gravity, but without the logarithmic divergences present in 4d. We find that the strongest bounds appear by examining the time delay near the horizon of the smallest possible black hole, and discuss on the validity of the EFT expansion in this region.

By suspending the 2D channels and inducing mechanical resonance modes in the 2D semiconducting membranes, they form 2D vibrating-channel-transistor (VCT) resonators with ultralow power consumption. Yet on-chip electronic detection and tuning of multimode resonances in these 2D VCT resonators have been challenging due to the ultrasmall vibration amplitudes and rich multimode dynamics at radio frequencies (RF). Here, we leverage the atomic-scale thickness, ultrahigh strain limit, as well as strain-engineering effects on band structure and carrier mobility of 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) sheets, and experimentally demonstrate multimode 2D MoS2 VCT resonators. Using all-electronic signal transduction, we show single-, bi-, and tri-layer MoS2 VCT resonators with up to the 14th resonance mode, thanks to the ultra-efficient electromechanical transduction enabled by internal multiphysics coupling. Measured gate dependency of multimode resonances exhibits frequency tuning ranges of Δf/f0 up to 326%.
