Abstract
The quest for novel photoluminescent and electroluminescent materials and the design of innovative device architectures are key for the realization of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly light generation. The ‘Emerging Materials and Devices for Efficient Light Generation’ Special Topic of the Journal of Applied Physics highlights new routes to synthesize and characterize emerging emitters in combination with resonant nanophotonic architectures for the development of light-emitting devices of improved efficiency and with new functionalities. This Special Topic includes articles that highlight results related to less conventional forms of light emission. Regarding the photonic design of light sources, this Special Topic also includes two articles that show the potential of nanophotonics for tuning the emission properties of luminescent materials.
