🥳 New review paper! I am pleased to share our new review paper written with my previous post-doc, Srestha Basu. This review focuses on CPL. But, unlike many reviews on CPL, it highlights the role of high-hierarchical structures in inducing CPL activity. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Assembled Nanoscale Particles
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from assembled nanoscale materials presents a rapidly advancing field with significant implications for optoelectronics, bioimaging, and chiral photonics. The a...
