Ultrathin silver can reduce the deadzone effect compared with graphene and PH1000, and leads to a factor of 1.07 enhancement for an electrical field in a metal microcavity. The enhancement is considered to be the fact that strong exciton-photon coupling occurs in the microcavity due to ultrathin Ag. On the basis of the optical enhancement effect, optical behaviors are manipulated by varying the microcavity length. It is confirmed that ultrathin silver can serve as an ideal interconnection layer as the active layer is ～ 150nm thick and the thickness ratio between front and rear active layers lies between 1：1 and 1：2.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns reveal that face-centered cubic ZnS was obtained. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） results demonstrate different morphological characteristics of the two samples. The optical behaviors of both samples were examined by means of photoluminescence （PL） spectroscopy. The different effects of the two sulfide sources on the formation of the nanocomposites were also discussed to explain the reasons for the differences of morphological characteristics and optical behaviors between two samples.展开更多
