This study proposes a new concept of using rare-earth ions as surface dopants for organic core-shell heterostructures. By doping Eu(III) and Tb(III) rare-earth ions on the surface of an organic cocrystal, a dual-color emission core-shell structure is achieved, and its optical behaviors are investigated. This research offers potential applications in optical wave-guides and optical logic gates.
Organic core-shell structures/heterostructures are burgeoning as active photonic materials, i.e., optical wave-guides, controllable multi-emissions, input-output optical logic gates. Here, a new conception that rare-earth (RE) ions as the surface dopants for the construction of organic cocrystal@RE complexes core-shell hetero-structures was first proposed. Organic cocrystal Tpy-1,4-DITFB (Tpy = 2,2':6 ',2 ''-terpyridine; 1,4-DITFB = 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzenes) as inner-core has been designed. The RE ions of Eu(III) and Tb(III) are dopped on the surfaces of Tpy-1,4-DITFB cocrystal via epitaxial growth method. The effect of the compositions and morphologies of core-shell heterostructures on the optical behaviors were investagted via fluorescence spectroscopy. Spatially adjacent dual-color emission in the di-block core-shell heterostructures brings about tunable regulation of optical waveguide modes, offering potential applications for input/output optical logic gate and biomedical.
