چکیده
The interaction between light and quantum-dot (QD) excitons is strongly influenced by the environment in which the QD is placed. We have investigated the interaction by measuring the time-resolved spontaneous-emission rate of QD excitons in different nanostructured environments. Thereby, we have determined the oscillator strength, quantum efficiency and spin-flip rates of QD excitons as well as their dependencies on emission wavelength and QD size. Enhancement and inhibition of QD spontaneous emission in photonic crystal membranes (PCMs) is observed. Efficient coupling to PCM waveguides is demonstrated and the influence of disorder is discussed. The findings have a strong bearing on future nanophotonic devices.

Interaction of surface plasmons with CdTe quantum dot excitons
A 5-fold enhancement in the luminescence of CdTe nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is observed when they are placed in proximity to a nanostructured Au film deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique. No enhancement is observed with a nanostructured Ag film. The enhancement is due to the interaction of the QDs excitons with the localized surface plasmons (LSP). The Au surface plasmon (SP) freq...
متن کاملThe Effect of pH on the Optical Band Gap of PbSe Thin Film with Usability in the Quantum Dot Solar Cell and Photocatalytic Activity
This study was an attempt to provide a simple solution processed synthesis route for Lead Selenide (PbSe) nanostructure thin films using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method which is commercially available in inexpensive precursors. In the CBD method, the preparation parameters play a considerable role and determine the nature of the final product formed. Known as two main factors, the eff...
متن کاملPseudopotential Theory of Electronic Excitations in Semiconductor Nanostructures
The calculation of the optical and electronic properties of semiconductor nanostructures is still based for the most part on highly approximated, continuum-like models such as the effective-mass approximation, which do not take into account the atomistic structure of the quantum dots. We present here an atomistic pseudopotential approach to the calculation of excited states in semiconductor nan...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence investigation of the carrier recombination processes in ZnO quantum dots and nanocrystals
The carrier recombination processes in ZnO quantum dots 4 nm in diameter , ZnO nanocrystals 20 nm in diameter and bulk ZnO crystal have been studied using photoluminescence PL spectroscopy in the temperature range from 8.5 to 300 K. The obtained experimental data suggest that the ultraviolet PL in ZnO quantum dots originates from recombination of the acceptor-bound excitons for all temperatures...
