Article1: Light-emitting diodes- Bright and stable
Article2: Atomic Layer Deposition Chemistry: Recent Developments and Future Challenges**
1. External quantum efficiency.
The external quantum efficiency (EQE) for a light emitting diode (LED) is given by
ηext = αγELΦ, where:
γEL is the injection efficiency (number of excitons generated / number of electrons passing
through the device).
α is the extraction efficiency (number of photons emitted / number of photons generated in the device).
Φ is the quantum yield.
Read the article: U. Banin, Nat. Photonics, 2008, 2, 209.
(a) Which of the three variables above currently limits the EQE of quantum dot-based LEDs to about 1%?
(b) Why are all-inorganic devices desirable rather than hybrid organic-inorganic devices?
(c) List two challenges for charge injection in quantum dot LEDs.
2. Atomic layer deposition (ALD).
Read the article: M. Leskelä, M. Ritala, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2003, 42, 5548.
(a) What is the advantage of the self-limiting mechanism of thin film growth by ALD?
(b) List five thin film compositions that can be deposited by ALD.
(c) Briefly describe an application of ALD.
