This study demonstrates the feasibility of combining first-principles simulations with combinatorial synthesis, comparing the effects of HP properties on optoelectronic devices using this combined approach. The first-principles simulations confirm that increasing the ratio of small halide ions increased the band gap by k·p perturbation theory and harmonic oscillator models. By fabricating HP thin films with compositional gradients using combinatorial synthesis, it is confirmed that an increase in band gap corresponds to a decrease in static relative permittivity. Furthermore, HP-based optoelectronic devices are fabricated to measure their photoelectric conversion efficiency and responsivity based on the simulated and measured relative permittivity, including time-resolved photoluminescence. The findings demonstrate the influence of the relative permittivity on device performance, elucidating the relationship between band structure and relative permittivity.

However, the intrinsic strength of the inverse spin Hall effect governing these devices introduces a challenge: the optical-to-terahertz conversion efficiency is considerably lower than traditional sources. It is therefore primordial to maximize at least their electromagnetic efficiency independently of the spin dynamics at play. Using a rigorous time-domain treatment of the electromagnetic generation and extraction processes, an optimized design is presented and experimentally confirmed. With respect to the strongest reported spintronic THz emitters it achieves a 250% enhancement of the emitted THz field and therefore an 8 dB increase of emitted power. This experimental achievement brings STE close to the symbolic barrier of mW levels. The design strategy is generically applicable to any kind of ultrafast spin-to-charge conversion (S2C) system.

Coal and its derivatives are rich in aromatic ring structure, which is suitable for preparing CDs in microstructure. Coal-burning dust from coal-fired power plants can be utilized as a rich resource to separate and extract CDs. It is shown in the results that there are two main possible mechanisms for the formation of CDs in coal-burning dust. One is the self-assembly of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contained in coal or produced by incomplete combustion of coal. The other mechanism is that the bridge bonds linking different aromatic structures in coal break, which will form CDs with different functional groups when the coals burn at high temperature. Under violet light excitation at 310–340 nm or red light at 610–640 nm, CDs extracted from coal-burning dust can emit purple fluorescence around 410 nm. The mechanism of up-conversion fluorescence emission of CDs is due to a two-photon absorption process.

The phase change transition of vanadium dioxide occurs in a narrow temperature range, providing a large variation in material resistivity. Through heating thin film patches of vanadium dioxide integrated into a metasurface comprising gold split-ring resonators on a sapphire substrate, remarkable control over the amplitude and frequency of quasi-BIC resonances is achieved due to their high sensitivity to losses present in the system.
