Abstract

The phenomenon of broadband white light emission (LIWE) in a suspension of carbon black (soot) in various solvents is explored. The influence of the solvent on the characteristic features of LIWE, such as the excitation threshold or the nonlinearity of the process, is described. A decrease in the energy barrier of the phenomenon was observed along with the change in the relative permittivity. The studies that were conducted suggest further applications, especially in the context of lighting and photocatalysis.
