Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in many application fields, such as general lighting, electronic displays, traffic lights, communications and detection, etc. During the past several decades, the luminous efficiency of the LEDs significantly improved with the advances in the design and manufacturing technologies of functional structures, for instance optical structures, material structures and electronic structures. In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that focus on the structure design and synthesis of LEDs. The articles for consideration may contain theoretical and experimental studies on functional structure design or manufacturing including, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Lighting design, including general high-quality lighting, healthy lighting, high-power lighting and laser lighting, etc.;
  • Display design, including RGB LED components, mini LED displays, Micro LED displays, local dimming and holographic displays, etc.;
  • Lens design: including the simulation and manufacturing of freeform surface lenses, lens systems, compound lenses, Fresnel lenses, collimating lenses and microlens arrays, etc.;
  • Design and simulation methods, including finite difference time domain (FDTD), ray tracing (RT), finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), and method of moments (MoM), etc.;
  • Metamaterials or metastructures, including metasurfaces or micro/nano structures with novel functions;
  • Fluorescent conversion components: phosphor in glass (PIG), phosphor in silicone (PIS), phosphor in ceramic (PIC) and YAG crystals, etc.;
  • Flexible electronics and wearable electronic devices designs, simulations and manufacturing;
  • Visible light communication, including low-junction-capacity light sources, antennae, signal modulation and demodulation, and visible light locations;
  • Thermal management of LED systems, including diversified cooling methods, temperature control methods, high-thermal conductive material, high-efficient heat transfer method, etc.

This study explores the electronic properties of (C2H7N4O)2BiCl5 using the density functional theory (DFT) method, which was compared with the experimental data. The band structure of the compound indicated that it is a direct semiconductor with a band gap energy of 3.54 eV, which was comparable with the value (3.20 eV) obtained experimentally from the UV–vis spectroscopy. The density of state study showed that the conduction band was formed mainly by Bi 6p, C 2p, and N 2p states, while the valence band was formed mainly by Cl 2p, O 2p, and N 2p states. Hirshfeld surface analysis and enrichment ratio (E) were further used to investigate and quantify the intermolecular interactions within the compound. These studies established that the most important role in the stability of the structure of this crystalline material was provided by hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The crystalline morphology of the compound was determined using BFDH simulation, based on the single-crystal structure result. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the vibrational modes of carbamoyl-ganidinium cations. The charge transfer process within the anionic chains of [BiCl5], studied using photoluminescence spectroscopy, resulted in a broad emission band with two positions of maxima centered at 336 and 358 nm. This work offers a good understanding of the optical, structural, as well as the electrical properties of (C2H7N4O)2BiCl5, which are necessary in its applications in areas such as multifunctional magnetic, optoelectronic, and photonic systems.
