Abstract:
Recombination dynamics of photoluminescence (PL) in colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were studied using time-resolved PL measurements. The PL intensity shows a biexponential decay at 9 K, consisting of a fast component (~1 ns) and a slow component (~6.3 ns). Based on the emission-energy and temperature dependence of carrier lifetimes, we suggest that the fast and slow PL decay of colloidal CdSe/ZnS QDs originates from recombination of the delocalized carriers in the internal core states and the localized carriers at the interface, respectively.Document Type: Research article
