Ultra‐Wideband Multi‐Dye‐Sensitized Upconverting Nanoparticles for Information Security Application

Abstract

Multi-dye-sensitized upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which harvest photons of wide wavelength range (450–975 nm) are designed and synthesized. The UCNPs embedded in a photo-acid generating layer are integrated on destructible nonvolatile resistive memory device. Upon illumination of light, the system permanently erases stored data, achieving enhanced information security.
