A high-performance white-light-emitting-diodes based on nano-single crystal divanadates quantum dots

We report a high-performance phosphors-free white light-emitting-diodes (w-LEDs) using Ba(2)V(2)O(7) or Sr(2)V(2)O(7) quantum dots that directly heteroepitaxially grown on common quartz substrates by polymer assisted deposition (PAD). The quantum efficiency of quantum dots is as high as 95%. More importantly, electronic local functions, band structure and partial density of states have been firstly calculated to study the luminescent and heteroepitaxial growth mechanisms by the Ab-initio Simulation. Additionally, the glaring white light excited at a wavelength of 325 nm was experimentally observed, which unambiguously demonstrated that such quantum dots can be efficient w-LEDs for solid state lighting.
