Using the van der Waals (vdW) system in an optical cavity as an example, we predict the effects of quantum interference and collectivity in cavity-induced many-body dispersion forces. Specifically, the leading order correction due to cavity-induced quantum fluctuations leads to 3-body and 4-body vdW interactions, which can align intermolecular vectors and are not pairwise additive. In addition, the cavity-induced dipole leads to a single-molecule energy shift that aligns individual molecules, and a pairwise interaction that scales as <i>R</i><sup>–3</sup> instead of the standard <i>R</i><sup>–6</sup> distance scaling. The coefficients of all these cavity-induced interactions depend on the cavity frequency and are renormalized by the effective Rabi frequency, which in turn depends on the particle density. Finally, we study the interaction of the vdW system in a cavity with an external object and find a significant enhancement in the interaction range due to modified distance scaling laws. These theoretical predictions suggest the possibility of cavity-induced nematic or smectic order and may provide an essential clue to understand intriguing phenomena observed in optical cavities, such as strongly modified ground-state reactivity, ion transport and charge mobility.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144137005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through first-principles calculations on Au/Ag/Pt/Pd-transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) contacts, we establish a robust linear correlation between Δ<i>V</i> and shielding-corrected dipole terms parametrized by atomic number (Z), valence electron count, and atomic radii. Three critical insights are identified. First, the dipole terms from metal–TMDC and TMDC–TMDC interfaces as well as TMDC layers dominate linearity with a contribution of about 90%–92%. Second, the interfaces and TMDC layers in closer proximity to the metal layer show reduced contributions due to suppression by the metallic free-electron region. Third, incorporating high-Z atomic shielding corrections collectively enhances linearity by 8%–10%, with a maximal correction from metal–TMDC interfaces. Using this correlation, interface barriers are predicted, matching those from band structures. This work clarifies the atomic origins of Δ<i>V</i> and establishes a predictive framework for designing metal–TMDC contact barriers.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we report a synergistic modification strategy that integrates halide ion passivation with inorganic shell confinement to boost the performance of blue ZnSeTe QLEDs. Chlorine ions (Cl-) were employed to passivate oxygen vacancy defects on the surface of ZnMgO nanoparticles, followed by encapsulation with a Mg(OH)2 inorganic shell to stabilize Cl- ions. This approach significantly suppresses nonradiative recombination and exciton quenching. As a result, the blue ZnSeTe QLEDs with the engineered ZnMgO nanoparticles exhibit a high external quantum efficiency of 17.5% and a peak luminance of 13670 cd m-2 at 6.0 V, alongside a 4.6-fold increase in operational lifetime compared to the untreated ones.

The device achieves band-selective detection through innovative manipulation of incident light direction, enabling multiple spectral detection capabilities within a single architecture. Under 0 V bias voltage operation, the device exhibits dual-mode detection capability depending on the illumination direction. When illuminated through the ZnO film side, the photodetector demonstrates visible light detection with a peak responsivity of 350 mA W-1 across the 400-800 nm spectral range. Conversely, illumination through the bulk heterojunction film side enables broadband detection from ultraviolet to visible spectrum (300-800 nm), showing distinct responsivity peaks at 2 mA W-1 and 29 mA W-1 for ultraviolet and visible regions, respectively. The selective spectral response characteristics of the PTB7-Th:ITIC/ZnO photodetector are primarily governed by two key factors: the optimized width of the depletion layer region and the distinctive distribution profile of the internal electric field. This work establishes a paradigm for developing autonomous photodetection systems capable of adaptive spectral discrimination, paving the way for advanced optoelectronic applications in complex environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"76 1","pages":"5449-5457"},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we propose a plasma-assisted electrochemical intercalation strategy to overcome this limitation. By intercalating 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIM+) cations into multilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), followed by oxygen plasma intercalation, we achieve large-area (∼100 μm) MQW superlattices with hundreds of active layers. This approach enhances MoS2 photoluminescence (PL) by 2 orders of magnitude, with the PL quantum yield (PLQY) increasing with both excitation power and thickness. The enhancement arises from interlayer-decoupling-induced bandgap directness and electron extraction induced by oxygen plasma, effectively suppressing charge transfer between heterointerfaces. Our findings provide a scalable route for fabricating quasi-MQW superlattices, opening new avenues for photophysics research and next-generation optoelectronics.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"42 1","pages":"5405-5411"},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the photophysics and cytotoxicity behavior of dTAT1 under UV light have not been investigated. We demonstrate that dTAT1 populates the triplet state upon 390 nm excitation but exhibits minimal cytotoxicity in cells. Analysis of reactive oxygen species indicates that dTAT1 produces a low singlet oxygen quantum yield of 17% while it generates superoxide, a less harmful reactive oxygen species. Its triplet lifetime is 2.7 times shorter than that of dTPT3, contributing to its lower photocytotoxicity.

In this study, we investigated the lattice dynamics and thermal transport properties of PbSe and medium entropy PbSe<sub>0.5</sub>Te<sub>0.25</sub>S<sub>0.25</sub> with different defects, using a machine learning interatomic potential. We find that the introduction of 3% Pb vacancies reduces lattice thermal conductivity (<i>k</i><sub><i>L</i></sub>) of PbSe by approximately 40%, similar to dislocations (with a density of 2 × 10<sup>16</sup> m<sup>–2</sup>) and nanograins (grain size of 4000 nm<sup>3</sup>).

In contrast, in PbSe<sub>0.5</sub>Te<sub>0.25</sub>S<sub>0.25</sub>, vacancies have weaker effects on thermal transport suppression due to the intrinsic entropy-induced high-frequency phonon scattering; higher-dimensional defects, such as grain boundaries, stacking faults, and dislocations, are more effective for reducing <i>k</i><sub><i>L</i></sub> by enhancing phonon scattering at frequencies lower than 1 THz.
