Towards electrically injected colloidal semiconductor lasers by Thung, Yi Tian

“…Addressing this gap, I explored electrical charge injection into Br--capped CdSe NPLs using an inverted p-i-n device architecture, resulting in narrow electroluminescence at 530 nm. The findings emphasize the significance of an appropriate device architecture for balanced charge injection, crucial for radiative recombination in the NPL gain medium—a key factor in achieving electrically injected NPL lasers. …”
