11. The amine bound dots had significantly higher photoluminescent quantum yields than the phosphine bound dots. 12. That is, they should have a high extinction coefficient and a high quantum yield . 13. The luminescence has a lifetime of several microseconds and the quantum yield below 0.1 %. 14. Since not all photons are absorbed productively, the typical quantum yield will be less than 1. 15. Because of its high quantum yield , B-PE is considered the world s brightest fluorophore. 16. When quantum yield of radiative emission is high, the process can be considered as resonance fluorescence. 17. Another way to define the quantum yield of fluorescence, is by the rate of excited state decay: 18. Overall, the best photocatalyst has a high quantum yield and gives a high rate of gas evolution. 19. Similar to GFP, the DFHBI is also dehydrated, which would help with its high quantum yield . 20. Diamagnetic metallo-texaphyrins have shown photophysical properties; high triplet quantum yields and efficient generation of singlet oxygen.
