研究目的
Investigating the ultrafast dynamics and luminescence properties of nanocomposite materials doped with semiconductor colloidal nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) using site-selective spectroscopy techniques.
研究成果
The study revealed very short relaxation times in a temperature range from 4.5 K to 50 K, which are extremely different from the data obtained in the ensembles of impurity organic dye molecules. The combination of the photon echo and luminescence spectroscopy was found to be a powerful method to study the ultrafast processes of interaction of the impurity ensemble of QDs with a solid matrix as well as the intrinsic dynamics of quantum dots themselves.
研究不足
The resolution of the experimental technique and the occurrence of significant inhomogeneous broadening of the spectra caused by a large dispersion of QD sizes may limit the observation of temperature changes in the exciton maxima widths.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized two types of site-selective spectroscopy techniques, including photon echo spectroscopy, to investigate the ultrafast dynamics in nanocomposites doped with semiconductor colloidal nanocrystals.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A thin film of double-coated CdSe/CdS/ZnS QDs was used as the sample.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Experiments were performed using a unique incoherent photon echo spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The decay curves of 2-pulse incoherent photon echo signals in an ensemble of QDs were measured to obtain relaxation times. Temperature dependences of the luminescence spectra of nanocomposites were also measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The temperature shift of the exciton luminescence spectrum was described using the modified Varshni equation, and a theoretical model that takes into account the electron-phonon interaction was used to quantitatively describe the temperature dependences of the exciton luminescence spectra of QDs.
