Abstract: Provided is a fluorescent diamondoid material which when energized, either by an electric field or by high energy radiation, emits light. The light emitted is generally in the visible range. The diamondoid material can be fine tuned by internal or external doping. The fluorescent materials comprised of diamondoids, have applications in several fields. One application is in solar cells where these materials can be used to improve the overall efficiency of the device. A second application is in indoor lighting where the materials can be used to efficiently produce white light. This can be done by either using the material as a fluorescent medium for a UV light source, in an electroluminescence device, or by using the material as part of an organic light emitting diode (OLED).
