Professor Kenichi Goushi's research lab specializes in organic optoelectronics, with a focus on the fundamental photophysics of emissive materials and their applications in next-generation light-emitting devices. The lab investigates exciton dynamics, energy transfer processes, and delayed fluorescence mechanisms in organic semiconductors, particularly in phosphorescent iridium complexes, exciplexes, and halogen-bonded cocrystals. A key research direction involves enhancing electroluminescence efficiency through advanced host-guest systems and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, aiming to overcome limitations in organic solid-state lasers and light-emitting diodes. The lab also explores fluorescence blinking in quantum dots using nonlinear optical models and anharmonic potential theories.

To understand confinement of the triplet exciton of Ir(ppy)3 by hole-transport layers, we compared energy-dissipative processes of the triplet exciton of Ir(ppy)3 which is doped into 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl (α-NPD), 4,4′-bis [N-(p-tolyl)-N- phenyl-amino]biphenyl (TPD), 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC), and 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl hosts. Significant energy transfer from Ir(ppy)3 into the triplet levels of α-NPD was observed. In the case of the TPD
Enhanced electroluminescence efficiency is achieved in organic light-emitting diodes through delayed fluorescence of the exciplex state formed between 4,4′,4′′-tris[3-methylphenyl(phenyl)amino]-triphenylamine (m-MTDATA) as an electron-donating material and 2,8-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)dibenzo-[b,d]thiophene (PPT) as an electron-accepting material. The devices exhibited maximum external electroluminescence quantum and power efficiencies of 10.0% and 47.0 lm/W, respectively.
Recently, there has been intense interest in pure organic room-temperature phosphorescence (ORTP) from cocrystals composed of 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (DITFB) and a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or their derivatives. To expand the possibility of halogen bonding-based cocrystals, the relationship between the crystal packing motifs and ORTP characteristics in binary cocrystals composed of DITFB and PAHs of phenanthrene (Phen), chrysene (Chry), and pyrene (Pyr), respectivel
We observed unusual radiative decay characteristics of a ( fac -tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium [Ir(ppy) 3 ]) triplet-excited state doped into 4, 4'-N, N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) host matrices. From a measurement of the temperature dependence on the phosphorescence intensity and the lifetime of Ir(ppy) 3 in these hosts, we observed that phosphorescence intensities are independent of temperature, while the lifetimes significantly increase at temperatures below T
We present new information that requires explanation in the study of possible mechanisms for fluorescence blinking in single nanocrystal (NC) quantum dots. By using pulse laser excitation, we investigated the excitation intensity dependence of fluorescence blinking statistics in NC quantum dots embedded in polymer matrices. Under strong excitation intensity, we observed an unexpected excitation intensity dependence of the power-law distribution in the blinking statistics. To explain the new info
The limitation of lasing duration less than nanosecond order has been a major problem for realizing organic solid-state continues-wave (CW) lasers and organic semiconductor laser diodes. Triplets accumulation under CW excitation has been well recognized as a critical inhibiting factor. To overcome this issue, the utilization of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters is a promising mechanism because of efficient reverse intersystem crossing. Herein, we model the triplet accumula
