Abstract
An electrically-driven single-photon source for producing single-photon emission. The invention also provides a method for electrically generating single photons employing the principles, materials, device configurations and devices herein. The single-photon source can contain a color center introduced into a carbon nanostructured materials, such as a carbon nanotube or a graphene nanoribbon. The color center can be an organic color center. Also provide are optoelectronic chemical sensors useful for detection of selected analytes, or measurement of local pH, local redox potential or local temperature. The sensors can contain the carbon nanostructured color center host and color center as described for sources herein. Sensors can be operated using the conditions of single-photon sources as described herein.
